Technical Studies Support and Analysis

Abstract

This program is a key source of funding for the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Staff to manage studies, analysis, management, and technical support efforts strategically to improve and support policy development, decision making, management and administration of DoD programs and activities. Studies and analysis will examine current and alternative policies, plans, operations, strategies and budgets, providing essential means for managing and responding to the ever-changing complex international, political, technological, economic, military, and acquisition environments in which national security planning decisions are made. Independent analyses from subject matter experts are instrumental for senior defense planners in making informed choices regarding requirements for force planning and strategic deployment of assets taking into account technological challenges and resource constraints, and there is a strong need to incorporate the effects of operational analysis in force planning assessments. With the expanding complexities of security threats in the geopolitical environment, the need for objective analysis and forward looking planning for the mid and long-term is vital. Budget estimates reflect transfer of the Global Theater Security Cooperation Management Information Systems (TSCMIS) program to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency beginning in FY 2014.
