Book excerpt: " With the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, DOD has had to accelerate efforts to field capabilities addressing urgent warfighter needs, including joint needs affecting more than one service. GAO was asked to assess (1) how quickly capabilities responding to joint urgent operational needs have been developed and fielded and (2) what key practices enabled executing organizations to overcome challenges. To do this, GAO studied a sample of joint urgent operational needs including all urgent needs over $100 million approved from April 2008 through December 2010 and a random selection of smaller urgent needs. GAO analyzed data on key events and issues in the development and fielding of solutions and met with service and DOD officials responsible for validating, assigning, and executing joint urgent needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have faced rapidly changing threats to mission failure or loss of life, highlighting the Department of Defense's (DOD) need to develop and field new capabilities more quickly than its usual acquisition procedures allow. Since 2006, Congress has provided nearly $16 billion to counter improvised explosive devices alone. GAO and others have reported funding, organizational, acquisition, and oversight issues involving DOD's processes for meeting warfighters' urgent needs. The Senate Armed Services Committee asked GAO to determine 1) the extent to which DOD has a means to assess the effectiveness of its urgent needs processes, and 2) what challenges, if any, have affected the overall responsiveness of DOD's urgent needs processes. To conduct this review GAO looked at three urgent needs processes, joint, Army, and the Marine Corps processes, visited forces overseas that submit urgent needs requests and receive solutions, and conducted 23 case studies. GAO recommends the Secretary of Defense take nine actions to improve DOD's ability to assess how well its processes are meeting critical warfighter needs, address challenges with training, make decisions about when to use its rapid acquisition authority, and make reprogramming decisions to expedite fielding of solutions. DOD generally concurred with our recommendations and noted actions to be taken.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Currently, each service and combatant command has their own rapid acquisition process. The Defense Science Board completed a study in July 2009, which stated, Current approaches to implement rapid responses to urgent needs were found to be unsustainable, and institutional barriers, people, funding, and processes are power inhibitors to successful rapid acquisition and fielding of new capabilities. The study found rapid acquisition processes should be based on proven technology to deliver capability to the warfighter within two to twenty-four months. The study also recommended, DoD should establish a streamlined, integrated approach for rapid acquisition. Finding a rapid acquisition standard for all services is the focus this paper. My thesis is Special Operations Command (SOCOM) rapid acquisition process offers a rapid acquisition benchmark, which should be adopted throughout the military. SOCOM rapid acquisition process could be used to acquire a limited major weapon system (e.g. a light attack aircraft) in less than two years."--Abstract from web site.
