The Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act and Its Impact on the Navy's Aerospace Engineering Duty Officer (AEDO) Community

Abstract

In June of 1990, as a result of his concern regarding the perceived impact of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) on the uniformed Naval Aviation Community, the Commander, Naval Air Systems Command(COMNAVAIR), issued a memo directing the formation of the DAWIA Executive Study Team (DEST). The function of the DEST was to assist COMNAVAIR in assessing and controlling the overall impact of DAWIA on the uniformed Naval Aviation Community.1 RADM W. L. Vincent, RADM(s) L. G. Elberfeld and RADM(s) W. J. Tinston were tasked to co-chair the team and I was tasked to act as Executive Recorder. I devoted the next five weeks almost full time to the effort before being transferred to the Industrial College of The Armed Forces in August of 1990. Capt Bill Belden was nominated as my relief to complete the study.
