Reform and the Air Force Military Construction Program.

Abstract

The military construction acquisition system is in need of major change. Reduced manpower and project funding levels, as well as the need to restore public confidence in military management, requires a thorough review of the facility acquisition process. This paper reviews the weaknesses of the present facility acquisition process from the user's identification of a requirement to the construction of a facility. Recommended changes include assigning Major Commands as the focal point for programming and execution of the Military Construction Program, standardized designs, a computer data base of contractor and product performances, an emphasis on individual responsibility, and the need to consolidate and simplify public laws dealing with facility construction.
