Abstract:

Once again the Department of Defense DOD is focused on reorganization and restructure as a means of streamlining the acquisition process. This is not the first time this task has been attempted. The problems plaguing the acquisition system are stifling the day-to-day running of the acquisition process. Why Overregulation, overmanagement, and management instability are three primary reasons. Streamlining can improve the DOD acquisition system however, more importantly, it will require strong leadership to develop into the root problems, not the symptoms.
