Defense Reorganization Compliance with Legislative Mandate for Contingency Planning

Abstract

As you requested, we assessed Department of Defense (DOD) guidelines for the preparation and review of contingency plans. We focused on whether the guidelines were in compliance with the procedures as described in the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986. In addition, in response to subsequent discussions with your staff, we are also providing in appendix I a discussion of the role of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy in crisis planning.
