Technical Studies

Abstract

This program is a key source of funding for the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Staff for studies, analyses, management, and technical support efforts to improve and support policy development, decision making, management and administration of DoD programs and activities. Studies and analyses will examine current and alternative policies, plans, operations, strategies and budgets, and are essential for understanding and gaining insight into the ever-changing multifaceted international, political, technological, economic, military, and acquisition environments in which defense decisions and international opportunities take place. The need for independent analyses has become particularly acute with the evolution of requirements for planning the reconstitution of assets affected by combat and non-combat operations, and there is a strong need to incorporate the effects of operational analyses in force planning assessments. With the persistently complex security, threat, and economic environment, the need for objective analyses and forward looking planning for the mid and long-term is vital. Beginning in FY 2010, this program element includes the budget request for the Global Theater Security Cooperation Management Information Systems (TSCMIS) program, which is an existing program that will be executed by the Joint Staff separately from the Technical Studies, Support, and Analysis program. The Global Theater Security Cooperation Management Information Systems program responds to OSD's Guidance for Employment of the Force so that Combatant Commanders, Military Department Chiefs, CSA Directors, and applicable Defense Agency and Field Activity Directors are able to use a tracking mechanism to account for their steady-state activities that is accessible to other DoD components. Together these tracking mechanisms will provide a global view of all steady-state activities conducted by DoD components. The intent of this program is to encourage further development of tracking mechanisms in order to achieve full visibility of Defense Department activities.
