Proposed Agenda of Significant Management Improvements and Cost Reduction Opportunities - Department of Defense

Abstract

With the new Administration's dedication to increased funding to upgrade the manning, equipping, and logistic support of the Armed Services the necessity for frugal management of resources and operating costs has never been more important. While there have been spurts of progress since the Department of Defense was established in 1947, the time has come, in our opinion, when these opportunities must be dealt with more aggressively. At stake are several billion dollars a year of savings which are urgently needed to offset essential increases in modernization, sustainability, and readiness.
