Abstract

The goal: save $10.3 billion in five years. It s a lot to ask of his We must build on DLA s history of innovation, successful performance and cost control, and leverage various means to do even better, and do so as quickly as possible, Harnitchek wrote in a May 9 blog post. Harnitchek announced the initiative, known as the Director s Big Ideas, in March after President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta released a new national defense strategy that includes a $500 billion cut for the Defense Department over the next 10 years. In fiscal 2011, DLA spent about $46 billion, with about $5 billion going toward personnel, operations and facilities. That leaves about $40 billion of stuff that we buy, whether it s food, fuel, pharmaceuticals or repair parts for the military services.
