Responsibility for Spare-Parts Acquisition.

Abstract

Responsibility for developing spare-parts acquisition policy and monitoring program execution within the Office of the Secretary of Defense is split between the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USDRE) and the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower, Installations and Logistics) (ASD (MI&L)). The split, however, has not been defined in a systematic manner, nor at a level of detail that clearly establishes the responsibilities of the organizations of the two officials, resulting in overlaps and omissions. This report: 1) Describes the various functions comprising the spare-parts acquisition process and documents the interrelationships among those functions; 2) Determines current assignments of spare-parts acquisition responsibilities for USDRE and ASD (MI&L); and 3) Recommends and specifies detailed assignments of spare-parts acquisition responsibilities to the USDRE and ASD (MI&L) to eliminate current overlaps and omissions.
