The Evolution of 21st Century Acquisition and Logistics Reform

Abstract

The United States has changed its military strategy and stepped up the use of its existing military forces without a major defense budget increase. A host of new initiatives are under way to generate the cost savings necessary to continue force modernization without a major budget increase. Reforms so far have primarily focused on the acquisition and logistic parts of the problem. Financial, contractual, and sustainment reforms are needed for acquisition and logistics reform (ALR) to achieve its full potential.
