Improving Efficiency in the Department of Defense Acquisition System and Finance and Program Management Offices

Abstract

The adaptation and expanded use of the interim Middle Tier Acquisition reform currently being tested can potentially provide significant improvements to the Defense Acquisition System (DAS) by removing overlapping layers of oversight, inflexible regulatory constraints and processes, and redundant performance and reporting requirements that will ultimately assist the Financial Management and Program Management Offices in executing tasks more timely and efficiently. This will result in the Department of Defenses (DOD) ability to keep pace with technological advances and field equipment to the military faster at less cost to the United States (US) taxpayer.
