Creating a "Revolution in Business Affairs" in DoD,

Abstract

Given the lack of an immediate threat by a superpower, the pressures to fund nondefense programs, and the desire to shrink the deficit, the military's budget, in real terms, is unlikely to increase. Yet, we must fund modernization efforts and new initiatives, such as "the Revolution in Military Affairs." The only source for these funds appears to be the current military infrastructure accounts. Therefore, this paper calls for a "Revolution in Business Affairs" (RBA) to provide an efficient and flexible infrastructure that supports changing military requirements at a price that does not overwhelm modernization efforts. The RBA will achieve this by changing fundamental DoD business process to those that have worked in the private sector.
