• W2588016795 abstract "[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA) Gen. Mark A. Milley has stated that U.S. military superiority is disappearing and that improved strategic planning is needed to maintain qualitative dominance beyond 2025. (1) Milley describes a future force structure based mainly on smaller units acting in disaggregated teams that can combine into larger formations so the Army can meet the demands of asymmetrical, peer, and near-peer conflicts. (2) The outdated and inflexible acquisition system is not adequate to meet the needs of future force structure and engagement. Strategic planning needs to integrate how the Army acquisition system will equip soldiers with technologies and innovative solutions. This article discusses new business practices that would enable the acquisition system to field near-term innovative capabilities faster and support preparation for future operations. Milley can improve the acquisition process using existing authorities and targeted recommendations to Congress on how to enhance the CSAs role in acquisition. For instance, by exerting influence through provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (the FY 16 NDAA), enacted 25 November 2015, the CSA can reshape the acquisition enterprise to effectively meet his stated objectives of improving operational readiness, aligning Army modernization to future operations, and preparing soldiers to operate in a variable global environment. (3) Fortunately, Milley's term as CSA coincides with increasing congressional support for tweaking the Army acquisition process to create a service provider/ customer business model. In his testimony at his 2015 nomination hearing, and in his recommendations to Congress regarding the NDAA acquisition authorities in March 2016, Milley acknowledged the opportunity to increase his role in acquisition to meet the needs of current and future land forces. (4) The Opportunity to Improve Army Acquisition While an increase in the CSAs influence on acquisition represents a positive change, change is needed. The media have reported widely on concerns over the U.S. military's seeming inability to meet increasing global threats to U.S. security. Amid these concerns, Congress has been calling for the military service chiefs to have an increased role in Department of Defense (DOD) acquisition to ensure their operational needs are aligned with the acquisition community's priorities and investments. (5) Policies such as Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 5000.02, Operation of the Defense Acquisition System; Army Regulation (AR) 70-1, Army Acquisition Policy; and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction 3170.01I, Joint Capabilities Integration Development System (JCIDS), all allow for rapid, flexible, and agile acquisition. (6) Their policy guidance, however, is essentially undone by the Army's organizational culture. That culture lacks a synchronized purpose and shared objectives; sustains a multilayer bureaucracy that impedes acquisition policy by overimplementing, overmanaging, and overregulating; and tolerates entrenched organizational agendas. (7) These organizational and cultural impediments have an inhibiting effect on positive change and reform. Instead of removing these impediments, and moving toward eliminating centrist organizational agendas and a burgeoning multilayer bureaucracy, leaders are often incentivized to defend their turf, so they request additional resources to cover the cost of bureaucratic processes. In the absence of shared Army goals, and in response to increasing oversight, organizations default to this common mantra: more money, people This situation illuminates why culture change is needed--to focus on maximizing the flexibility of the acquisition system to meet shared priorities and operational objectives. The Army can improve how it conducts business. It needs to identify and resolve the core problems and obstacles within the acquisition system. …" @default.
