Streamlining the DoD Acquisition Process -- One More Time

Abstract

Once again the Department of Defense (DOD) is focused on reorganization and restructure as a means of streamlining the acquisition process. This is not the first time this task has been attempted. The problems plaguing the acquisition system are stifling the day-to-day running of the acquisition process. Why? Overregulation, overmanagement, and management instability are three primary reasons. Streamlining can improve the DOD acquisition system; however, more importantly, it will require strong leadership to develop into the root problems, not the symptoms.
