DoD and the Change Paradigm: Change Agents Versus Established Service Roles, Missions, and Cultures,

Abstract

Little money has been available to modernize combat forces over the past 10 years. How can the Department of Defense reengineer the defense acquisition system to provide modernization? What change agents can be applied to alter the established Service roles. missions, and cultures? The authors provide some background on the issue and look at a small segment of it-the barriers to establishing a single DoD acquisition organization and possible ways to overcome these barriers. They investigate the concept of the merger of individual service acquisition organizations into a single organization under the USD(A&T).
