Executive Agent Support to Joint Operations.

Abstract

Many terms are used throughout the DoD to describe executive agent type functions. They include executive agent, single manager, and lead agent. Throughout this report, the term executive agent is used in a broad sense to refer to the subordinate official that has been delegated authority by a superior to perform some function or act on behalf of the delegating official regardless of the terminology used. We obtained lists from the Military Departments that contained 401 executive agents. Those agents performed a wide variety of functions within the DoD. Our report focused on five executive agents that performed functions having an impact on joint operational readiness in the most recent past as well as in the current operational environment.
