Performance Measures of Effectiveness for the National Guard Counterdrug Program
Abstract
The National Guard Counter Drug Program (NGCDP) must develop new performance measures of effectiveness and request modification to the current counter drug reporting system to better assess their ability to support the war on drugs. The President of the United States has declared a war on drugs and has determined that illicit drug use, drug manufacturing, and drug trafficking are threats to our national interest. The NGCDP is a way to leverage unique military capabilities and provide manpower, technology, equipment, and facility support to law enforcement agencies and civilian organizations. The NGCDP supports numerous stakeholders in the war on drugs, each with its own requirements for success. The current reporting chain and measures of performance used by NGCDP do not provide the resolution necessary for accurate assessments. To assist in achieving unified action with all supported counter drug agencies, NGCDP should take the lead in requesting changes to the reporting chain and developing new performance measures of effectiveness. These changes should include a return on investment performance measure focused on the desired effects of each supported stakeholder.
