Department of Defense Strategic Management Plan FY 2012 - FY 2013
Abstract
The mission of the Department of Defense is to protect the American people and advance our national interests. The challenges facing the United States are immense, but so too are the opportunities. The 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) set forth priority objectives for the DoD to meet these challenges and seize opportunities: prevail in today's wars; prevent and deter conflict; prepare to defeat adversaries and succeed in a wide range of contingencies; preserve and enhance the All-Volunteer Force; and reform the business and support functions of the Defense enterprise. This Strategic Management Plan (SMP) establishes management goals for business operations linked to the DoD's overarching strategic goals and objectives. Amplifying the QDR's call for business improvements, this SMP establishes specific business goals that directly support the Strategic Goals of the QDR, as well as further articulates changes needed in the DoD's business domain, while ensuring unity of effort across the enterprise. This SMP covers a 2-year period, Fiscal Years 2012-2013, and includes seven overarching business goals: (1) Strengthen and right-size the DoD total workforce, (2) Strengthen DoD financial management, (3) Build agile and secure information technology capabilities, (4) Increase the buying power of the DoD, (5) Increase operational and installation energy efficiency, (6) Re-engineer/use end-to-end business processes, and (7) Create agile business operations that support contingency missions. Each business goal is supported by key initiatives needed to achieve the business outcome. Goal owners will oversee and monitor the progress of these activities through established internal mechanisms that govern business activities. Background information on the statutory requirements for the SMP is provided in Appendix 1, a description of each goal and its associated initiatives is contained in Section 2, and measures/milestones for each goal/initiative are contained in Appendix 2.
