Download Institutionalizing Stability Operations Within DoD: Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Enclosed is the final report of the Defense Science Board task force on Institutionalizing Stability Operations within the Department of Defense (DoD). This task force was asked to consider the institutional hurdles to effectively constitute and use the capabilities for stability operations called for in the 2004 Defense Science Board Report on Transition to and from Hostilities and the subsequent draft Directive to implement the recommendations of the report. In the last year there has been noticeable progress within the Department toward explicit embrace of stability operations as a core activity of DoD on par with combat operations, although there is still a long way to go. In that light, our recommendations should be viewed as accelerants of the process. Unfortunately, during the last year the progress of other elements of the Government has been less fulsome. Thus, we urge that the Department act with dispatch to accelerate the transformation of its own capabilities, while concurrently continuing to give full support to the evolution of capabilities elsewhere within the Government. Even though stability operations are as pervasive as combat operations across the Department, high level leadership and management is currently needed to accelerate transformation. The most important agent of change is the Secretary of Defense. Ideally the Secretary, with the Deputy Secretary, should, in effect, act as Executive Agent for change of the magnitude envisioned. If the Secretary and Deputy Secretary seek additional support beyond that to be provided by the OSD Staff and the Joint Staff, appointing an Executive Agent will accelerate change, and the Secretary of the Army is a possible choice in light of the Army's dominant albeit not exclusive role in stability operations.

Download Report of the 1998 Defense Science Board (DSB) Task Force on DoD Warfighting Transformation Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The Defense Science Board (DSB) Warfighting Transformation Task Force was charged with reviewing the transformation activities underway in the Department of Defense (DoD) to: * provide an independent, comprehensive picture of transformation efforts that encompasses processes, organizational responsibilities, and anticipated products; * identify opportunities to enhance, as well as the obstacles to, transformation progress; and * recommend Criteria to gauge progress over the next several years. Transformation efforts within DoD today involve an inevitable tension between dealing with today's problems and preparing for tomorrow's. But an even more formidable tension exists between alternative views of tomorrow's challenges and between competing approaches to address them. Transformation is about defining and implementing a vision of the future different from the one embedded, if only implicitly, in DoD's current plans and programs. Such a transformation requires powerful, high-level support to survive in today's resource-competitive environment.

Download Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Understanding Human Dynamics Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Understanding human dynamics is an essential aspect of planning for success across the full spectrum of military and national security operations. Although the U.S. military belatedly increased its human dynamics awareness within the current Iraq and Afghanistan theaters, recent progress has been achieved because of its importance in strategic, operational, and tactical decision-making. The U.S. military also has made recent progress in training and sensitizing deployed U.S. forces to the importance of understanding human dynamics in dealing with individuals, groups, and societies. There have been numerous, though mostly uncoordinated, efforts within DoD to manage relevant databases and provide associated tools and cultural advisors. Nevertheless, substantial improvements by DoD are needed in understanding human dynamics. In particular, DoD must take a longer term view and build upon increased capability achieved in Iraq and Afghanistan. It must institutionalize the best of current programs and processes so that this capability is available across the full spectrum of military operations, including activities referred to as Phase 0 that seek to mitigate the likelihood of armed conflict. To be effective in the long term, DoD must develop more coherence in its efforts to enhance human dynamics awareness. Most importantly, capability must be expanded beyond the focus of current armed conflicts so that the DoD and military services have the flexibility to adjust rapidly to events in other places in the world. The task force believes that opportunities with both near-term and long-term payoffs exist for substantial improvement in the following areas: coordination and leadership; interagency and civil interactions; education, training, and career development; human dynamics advisors; science and technology investments; and data, tools, and products. Specific recommendations, grouped by the topics listed above, are detailed in the chapters that follow.

Download Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on DoD Logistics Transformation, Volume 2 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This report summarizes the work of the Defense Science Board Summer Study Task Force on DOD Logistics Transformation. This volume contains the sub-panels' reports of the Task Force. The Task Force examined four major areas in preparation of the final report: (1) Requirements; (2) Deployment; (3) Sustainment; and (4) Technology. Each of these reports summarizes the work of that panel. Panel findings and recommendation in these reports are those of the panel, and may or may not be incorporated into the final report in Volume 1.
