This book was released on 1999 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Defense Science Board (DSB) Warfighting Transformation Task Force was charged with reviewing the transformation activities underway in the Department of Defense (DoD) to: * provide an independent, comprehensive picture of transformation efforts that encompasses processes, organizational responsibilities, and anticipated products; * identify opportunities to enhance, as well as the obstacles to, transformation progress; and * recommend Criteria to gauge progress over the next several years. Transformation efforts within DoD today involve an inevitable tension between dealing with today's problems and preparing for tomorrow's. But an even more formidable tension exists between alternative views of tomorrow's challenges and between competing approaches to address them. Transformation is about defining and implementing a vision of the future different from the one embedded, if only implicitly, in DoD's current plans and programs. Such a transformation requires powerful, high-level support to survive in today's resource-competitive environment.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enclosed is the final report of the Defense Science Board task force on Institutionalizing Stability Operations within the Department of Defense (DoD). This task force was asked to consider the institutional hurdles to effectively constitute and use the capabilities for stability operations called for in the 2004 Defense Science Board Report on Transition to and from Hostilities and the subsequent draft Directive to implement the recommendations of the report. In the last year there has been noticeable progress within the Department toward explicit embrace of stability operations as a core activity of DoD on par with combat operations, although there is still a long way to go. In that light, our recommendations should be viewed as accelerants of the process. Unfortunately, during the last year the progress of other elements of the Government has been less fulsome. Thus, we urge that the Department act with dispatch to accelerate the transformation of its own capabilities, while concurrently continuing to give full support to the evolution of capabilities elsewhere within the Government. Even though stability operations are as pervasive as combat operations across the Department, high level leadership and management is currently needed to accelerate transformation. The most important agent of change is the Secretary of Defense. Ideally the Secretary, with the Deputy Secretary, should, in effect, act as Executive Agent for change of the magnitude envisioned. If the Secretary and Deputy Secretary seek additional support beyond that to be provided by the OSD Staff and the Joint Staff, appointing an Executive Agent will accelerate change, and the Secretary of the Army is a possible choice in light of the Army's dominant albeit not exclusive role in stability operations.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collection and analysis of foreign intelligence is, and will continue to be, a vital component of U.S. national security strategy. However, there is significant debate regarding whether our existing intelligence apparatus can sufficiently transform itself to meet the demands of the 21st century. The Department of Defense (DoD) has a vested interest in this debate - both as a customer and as a major supplier - because the goals of the National Military Strategy cannot be achieved in the absence of a robust foreign intelligence apparatus. This task force first examined the anticipated 2lst century threat environment, focusing on how the threats and adversaries are changing in the post-Cold War era. We then worked to characterize future intelligence customers' needs, again emphasizing how the dynamic global security environment is altering both needs and expectations. Finally, we formulated a top-level opinion of the strategic posture of today's Intelligence Community (IC) and its ability to meet the needs of its primary DoD customers - with particular emphasis on the warfighter. Our recommendations are intended to better position the IC to meet the evolving demands of its diverse customer base.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attached is the final report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Logistics Transformation - Phase II. Phase II of the Task Force effort was to review and evaluate DoD's progress to date on the transformation of the DoD Logistics System using the "1998 DSB report on DoD Logistics Transformation" as a baseline. In addition we were requested to review future plans and programs to determine their compliance with the recommendations related to the 1998 DSB report on DoD Logistics Transformation, determine the nature of barriers inhibiting the rapid Transformation of the DoD Logistics System and determine if any further implementation actions are required.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines DoD¿s strategy to achieve assured energy supplies. Identifies: opportunities to reduce fuel demand by forces and assess the effects on cost, operations and force structure; identify opportunities to deploy renewable and alternative energy sources for facilities and forces; identify institutional barriers to making the transitions recommended; identify and recommend programs to reduce facility energy use; and identify the benefits from DoD deployment of new energy technologies. There are 2 challenges: battlespace fuel demand compromises our operational capability and can jeopardize mission success; and critical missions at military installations are vulnerable to loss from commercial power outage and inadequate backup power supplies.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the work of the Defense Science Board Summer Study Task Force on Department of Defense (DoD) Logistics Transformation. The Summer Study was tasked to recommend actions to be taken that achieve a true transformation, not marginal improvements to the U.S. military logistics system. The Study emphasized several points: (1) The principal operational challenge facing the U.S. military in the 21st Century is strengthening and preserving its capability for early, then continuous, application of dominant control effects across the full spectrum of conflict; (2) The military logistics system is a critical enabler of deployment, then sustainment, of dominant full-spectrum engagement effects; (3) Today's U.S. military suffers from a separation of logistics from operations and a reliance on mass, rather than efficiency and certainty, to be effective - the logistics system frequently constrains operations and drains scarce resources needed for force modernization; (4) Failure to seamlessly blend military logistics with operations will be a showstopper for DoD's planned Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA); (5) DoD must recognize that logistics transformation is a BIG DEAL; and (6) A transformed logistics system can be responsive to CINC needs, support rapid closure of combat power, permit a smaller footprint, be more agile and responsive than today's system, fully integrate business processes and information systems, be well integrated with industry, and be significantly less expensive. The study consists of two volumes. Volume 1 is a summary of the findings and recommendations of the task Force. This volume contains a brief Executive Summary, the Task Force briefing charts with facing page text, and four appendices. Volume 2 contains the sub-panel reports of the Task Force, These reports examined Requirements, Deployment, Sustainment, and New Capabilities. The majority of the report (Volume 1) consists of briefing charts.
