Download or read book The Department of Defense written by Roger R. Trask and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a supplement to The Department of Defense: Documents on Establishment and Organization, 1944-1978. This book covers organizational changes in the Office of the Secretary of Defense between 1978 and the end of 2003. During this period there were frequent and substantial adjustments, some directed by congressional action and some by the secretary of defense. The most important legislation affecting the Department of Defense between 1978 and 2003, the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986, received its impetus primarily from Congress rather than the Department of Defense. This law joins the amendments of 1949, Reorganization Plan No.6 of 1953, and the Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1958 as one of the four major changes to the National Security Act of 1947. Because of its significance, the entire text of the Goldwater-Nichols Act is included in this publication, as well as important documents preceding its passage, including the report of the Packard Commission (1986). This collection includes documents detailing the functions of the Armed Forces and the Joint Chiefs of Staff as well as those pertaining to the roles and missions of the Armed Forces.

Download or read book New Weapons Old Politics written by Thomas L. McNaugher and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans spend more than $100 billion a year to buy weapons, but no one likes the process that brings these weapons into existence. The problem, McNaugher shows, is that the technical needs of engineers and military planners clash sharply with the political demands of Congress. McNaugher examines weapons procurement since World War II and shows how repeated efforts to improve weapons acquisition have instead increased the harmful intrusion of political pressures into that technical development and procurement process. Today's weapons are more complicated than their predecessors. So are the nation's military forces. The design of new systems and their integration into the force structure demand more care, time, and flexibility. Yet time and flexibility are precisely what political pressures remove from the acquisitions process. In a series of case studies and conceptual discussions, McNaugher tackles concerns at the heart of the debate about acquisition—the slow and heavily bureaucratic approach to development, the preference for ultimate weapons over well-organized and trained forces, and the counterproductive incentives facing the nation's defense firms. He calls for changes that run against the current fashion—less centralization or procurement, less haste in developing new weapons, and greater use of competition as a means of removing the development process from political oversight. Above all, McNaugher shows how the United States tries to buy research and development on the cheap, and how costly this has been. The nation can improve its acquisition process, he concludes, only when it recognizes the need to pay for the full exploration of new technology.
