Abstract

Since its inception in 2001, the DBB has been recommending ways for the department to improve its effectiveness and service delivery * Most importantly, during the Transition of the current administration in 2009, the DBB articulated three existential challenges facing the Department that needed fixing. Those were * Acquisition * Overhead * Health care costs * This effort is an expansion of the issues we raised in that transition report on the threat presented to the department by the escalating costs and burden of overhead. * Without this fixed, the Department will be unable to provide adequate resources to its warfighters.
