evolution of the Pentagon's strategic warfighting resource and risk process
Institute of Land Warfare (Association of the United States Army)
Discusses the actions the Department of Defense (DoD) has taken to streamline resource management to provide a more joint outlook to weapon systems procurement and capabilities development. Since 2001, there have been major strides in the Pentagon's strategic warfighting resource and risk process for creating systems that are "born joint," and DoD is still trying to establish a common framework for a capability-based planning process for all the services. However, as with any major transformation, there will be areas where it can continue to improve. This paper recommends several changes to ensure DoD develops a joint force to meet the nation's needs, with the intent to help senior leaders optimize investments in joint capabilities areas to meet current and future security challenges.
