Description

In May 2010, the Sec. of Defense announced that the Dept. of Defense (DOD) was to undertake a department-wide initiative to assess how DOD is staffed, organized, and operated with the goal of reducing excess overhead costs and reinvesting those savings in sustaining DOD's current force structure and modernizing its weapons portfolio. These initiatives set specific goals and targets for achieving cost savings and efficiencies, which are expected to be achieved between FY 2012 and 2016. The military departments and other components, including U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), were tasked to find savings of about $100 billion in overhead costs over the specified time period. Prior to the beginning of FY 2012, DOD's Comptroller and Deputy Chief Management Officer (DCMO) began developing an approach for entities, including the military departments and SOCOM, to track and report on their efforts to implement efficiency initiatives and realize savings. In its FY 2013 budget request, DOD identified additional efficiency initiatives expected to generate $60 billion in savings for the period of FY 2013 to 2017. This report addresses (1) the extent to which the military departments and SOCOM have taken steps to internally track the implementation of their efficiency initiatives; and (2) DOD's progress in developing an approach for reporting on the status of efficiency initiatives on a department-wide basis. Tables. This is a print on demand report.
