Abstract

This study was accomplished at the request of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Director for Logistics (J-4). The study is one part of a three part effort to review the annual Defense Industry Studies (DIS) of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces (ICAF). This study examines five industries: Combat Vehicles, Automated Manufacturing, Armaments, Shipbuilding, and Telecommunications Information Systems. The DIS reports for 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, and 1980 were reviewed. The study includes the thrust of the DIS reports, observations on each of the five industries, recurring recommendations, and recommended actions to resolve identified deficiencies and ensure these industries maintain the capability to support the national security needs of the United States.
