This book was released on 1998 with total page 170 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 report contains briefing charts.

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.

Download or read book The Defense Science Board 1997 Summer Study Task Force on DoD Responses to Transnational Threats Volume II Force Protection Report written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transnational actors have three advantages: 1) they can have ready access to weapons of mass destruction; 2) we cannot easily deter them because they have no homeland; and 3) they respect no boundaries, whether political, organizational, legal or moral. Further, warning may be short and attribution may be slow or ambiguous. Since the United States is now the dominant military force in the world, potential adversaries will be driven to asymmetric strategies to meet their objectives. As such, transnational threats represent an important national security problem. Notably, the Department of Defense has the capacity to mitigate these threats with its extensive capabilities, training and experience. In the attached report, the Task Force suggests a multi-faceted strategy for the DoD to address this increasingly important class of threats. This strategy involves the development of an end-to-end systems concept, investment in critical technology areas, and the leveraging of similarities between civil protection and force protection. The Task Force concludes that the Department also needs to increase its emphasis on responding to this threat by more clearly assigning responsibilities and by providing mechanisms for measuring its readiness to respond.

Download or read book Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on DoD Warfighting Transformation written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 45 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.
