Exploring Differences in Organizational Culture Within the Department of Defense

Abstract

As the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) reorients itself for a new era of strategic competition, its leadership recognizes that the department must change the way it does business.On one hand, operational challenges loom as the United States technological advantage over China erodes. On the other hand, DoDs acquisitions process does not produce the weapons thatU.S. warfighters need in the time frame in which they need them. Many in DoDs leadership believe that, to overcome each of these challenges, the U.S. military needs to make a similar shift in its culture to become more innovative and adaptive.
