The Fifth Bin - Opportunity to Empower the National Four Bin Analysis Discussion

Abstract

The United States is having a national discussion of the ways and means of defense and the tools of national power. A four component framework was proposed to assess national interests? defense missions and capabilities. The four components are: efficiencies; all defense operations TTPs1 and CONOPS1 cost drivers; return on investment analysis of limited utility missions, capabilities, and programs; and, QDR1 strategy modifications. Yet that framework seems to leave out an important unifying or overarching factor the population of the nation. That is, the complete population pool of the nation ? the source of military service members, all government personnel, and the employees of all companies and institutions. The author will discuss the framework, along with the fifth element, to start the dialogue of how it can make the framework factors work to a greater long term outcome beyond the initial framework employment.
