MILITARY READINESS: DOD Needs to Develop a More Comprehensive Measurement System

Abstract

During the past several years, service chiefs and commanders in chief (CINC) have expressed concerns about the effect on current and future readiness of (1) the level of current military operations, (2) contingency operations, (3) the shifting of funds to support these operations, and (4) personnel turbulence. Related to these concerns is a question about the ability of the Department of Defenses (DOD) readiness reporting system to provide a comprehensive assessment of overall readiness.
