Meeting the Defense Modernization Challenge,
Abstract
Our defense planning assumes that we will get significant savings by overhauling our defense acquisition system. The idea is to be more efficient in what we buy; how we buy it; and how we oversee that buying process. DoD can free up additional resources required for modernization in the future by managing its internal operations and particularly its support activities more efficiently. Introducing the competitive forces of the private sector into DoD support activities will reduce costs and improve performance. Through its outsourcing initiatives, DoD has begun a long-term effort to streamline its Support functions further. The success of the Department's outsourcing initiatives today will help determine how well it supports you, the warfighters, tomorrow.
