Pentagon spending has been the target of decades of criticism and
reform efforts. Billions of dollars are spent on weapons programs
that are later abandoned. State-of-the-art data centers are
underutilized and overstaffed. New business systems are built at
great expense but fail to meet the needs of their users. Every
Secretary of Defense for the last five Administrations has made it
a priority to address perceived bloat and inefficiency by making
management reform a major priority. The congressional defense
committees have been just as active, enacting hundreds of
legislative provisions. Yet few of these initiatives produce
significant results, and the Pentagon appears to go on, as wasteful
as ever. In this book, Peter Levine addresses why, despite a long
history of attempted reform, the Pentagon continues to struggle to
reduce waste and inefficiency. The heart of Defense Management
Reform is three case studies covering civilian personnel,
acquisitions, and financial management. Narrated with the insight
of an insider, the result is a clear understanding of what went
wrong in the past and a set of concrete guidelines to plot a better
future.
