Book excerpt: Since the Sept. 2001 terrorist attacks, Congress has provided about $800 billion as of July 2008 to the Dept. of Defense (DoD) for military operations in support of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). GWOT budget requests have grown in scope and the amount requested has increased every year. DoD uses various processes and the Contingency Operations Support Tool (COST) to estimate costs for these operations and to develop budget requests. This report assessed: (1) how DoD uses COST and other processes to develop GWOT budget requests; and (2) what actions DoD has taken to ensure COST adheres to best practices for cost estimation. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

Download or read book Operating and Support Cost Estimating Guide written by Department of Department of Defense and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Department of Defense The ability to generate reliable cost estimates is a critical function, necessary to support the Department of Defense capital programming process. Without this ability DoD is at risk of experiencing cost overruns, missed deadlines, and performance shortfalls-all recurring problems that our program assessments too often reveal. Furthermore, cost increases often mean that DoD cannot fund as many programs as intended or deliver them when promised. The methodology outlined in this guide is a compilation of best practices that federal cost estimating organizations and industry use to develop and maintain reliable cost estimates throughout the life of a DoD acquisition program. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy).

Download or read book The Process and Politics of Defense Acquisition written by David S. Sorenson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States government invests billions each year on equipping armed forces with the most advanced military equipment. The root of the American defense acquisition system is driven by a combination of national interests and domestic political requirements. While fundamentally the defense acquisition system has produced results for the United States military, improvements are needed in order to continue to move forward in advancing military tactics and technology. Exploring both the systemic and political levels of the system, Sorenson argues that the United States will fall behind if the current defense acquisition system is not reformed. This book brings together elements of this complicated system, such as national security requirements, and the changes that are needed in both the structural and political pillars. A combination of political interests and the needs of the military, serviced by an ever-shrinking defense industry, make a genuine acquisition reform even more difficult, resulting in reform that is more symbolic than genuine.

Download or read book Cost Overruns in Major Weapon Systems Current Dimensions of a Longstanding Problem written by and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cost overruns continue to plague the weapon systems acquisition process, despite repeated efforts over the last twenty years to alleviate the problem. This paper reviews the initiatives of the Reagan Administration to control cost overruns during the last 2-1/2 years and the actions taken by the Congress to strengthen its oversight role Particular attention is directed at the critical need to enhance management incentive and account- ability at all levels of the acquisition process. If recently instituted reforms in the Department of Defense fail to control cost overruns, pressure may grow for a more sweeping and radical approach. Serious consideration, in such an event, might even be given to removing responsibility for weapons acquisition management from the military services and assigning it to a civilian-operated supply agency.
