VIRUS OUTBREAK Officials said that implement- ing the stop-loss policy, employed during the George W. Bush ad- ministration as years of grueling combat in Iraq and Afghanistan strained the force, was among the measures being considered but was not the preferred option. Defense Department spokes- woman Lisa Lawrence said a range of options are under con- sideration but no formal recom- mendation or no decision had Modly been made. Lawrence said that stop-loss — which can retain enlisted troops beyond their planned departure date, delay officers’ retirement and lengthen reserve troops’ ac- tive-duty service — would “only be considered if absolutely neces- sary and is an alternative that we resigns will work diligently to avoid.” Officials said the department’s top official for personnel issues, Undersecretary for Personnel and Readiness Matthew Dono- Acting navy secretary steps down van, is developing draft guidance that if approved would allow the services to suspend planned pro- amid carrier captain controversy motions, retirements and other exits, and potentially to imple- ment the stop-loss policy.

L. 116-92) required the Secretary of Defense (SD) to conduct an independent assessment of the Chief Management Officer (CMO) with six specific areas to be evaluated. The Defense Business Board (DBB) was selected on February 3, 2020 to conduct the independent assessment, with Arnold Punaro and Atul Vashistha assigned to co-chair the effort. Two additional DBB board members comprised the task force: David Walker and David Van Slyke. These individuals more than meet the independence and competencies required by the NDAA. Approach: The DBB task force focused on the CMO office and the Department of Defense (DoD) business transformation activities since 2008 when the office was first established by the Congress as the Deputy Chief Management Officer (DCMO), and in 2018 when the Congress increased its statutory authority and elevated it to Executive Level (EX) II and the third ranking official in DoD. The taskforce reviewed all previous studies of DoD management and organizations going back twenty years and completed over ninety interviews, including current and former DoD, public and private sector leaders. The assessments of CMO effectiveness since 2008 are focused on the performance of the CMO as an organizational entity, and is not an appraisal of any administration or appointee.

  • Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress
    Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress September 16, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL32665 Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The current and planned size and composition of the Navy, the annual rate of Navy ship procurement, the prospective affordability of the Navy’s shipbuilding plans, and the capacity of the U.S. shipbuilding industry to execute the Navy’s shipbuilding plans have been oversight matters for the congressional defense committees for many years. In December 2016, the Navy released a force-structure goal that calls for achieving and maintaining a fleet of 355 ships of certain types and numbers. The 355-ship goal was made U.S. policy by Section 1025 of the FY2018 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 2810/P.L. 115- 91 of December 12, 2017). The Navy and the Department of Defense (DOD) have been working since 2019 to develop a successor for the 355-ship force-level goal. The new goal is expected to introduce a new, more distributed fleet architecture featuring a smaller proportion of larger ships, a larger proportion of smaller ships, and a new third tier of large unmanned vehicles (UVs). On June 17, 2021, the Navy released a long-range Navy shipbuilding document that presents the Biden Administration’s emerging successor to the 355-ship force-level goal. The document calls for a Navy with a more distributed fleet architecture, including 321 to 372 manned ships and 77 to 140 large UVs. A September 2021 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report estimates that the fleet envisioned in the document would cost an average of between $25.3 billion and $32.7 billion per year in constant FY2021 dollars to procure.

  • The United States Navy As a “Hollow Force” an Assessment of Naval Readiness from 2010 to 2017
    THE UNITED STATES NAVY AS A “HOLLOW FORCE” AN ASSESSMENT OF NAVAL READINESS FROM 2010 TO 2017 by Justin H. Witwicki A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Government Baltimore, Maryland December 2019 © 2019 Justin Witwicki All Rights Reserved Abstract From 2010 to 2017, at least six separate but interconnected factors damaged the military readiness of the United States Navy. This thesis explored the concepts of force readiness and force “hollowness” as qualitative measures of a military’s ability to execute its national security responsibilities. Through that lens, seven “force hollowing” indicators – which were defined in 1996 by the Center for Naval Analyses – were reconsidered in the context of the 2010-2017 Navy. Of those seven, five were accepted as applicable in modern context. Those five indicators were: pressure to cut defense spending, declining military pay, poor force morale, delays in fielding modern equipment, and inadequate maintenance of existing equipment. Thereafter, two additional readiness indicators – unsustainable operational tempo and the effects of global climate change – were added to those already existing in the academic literature. Both were deemed critical to a holistic understanding of naval readiness during the early- and mid-2010s. Unsustainable operational tempo was identified as a valid indicator of naval unreadiness from 2010 to 2017. An institutional culture which accepted a “normalization of deviance” facilitated a measurable rise in operational tempo and ultimately resulted in four at-sea mishaps that claimed 17 lives in the summer of 2017. In addition, climate change, although it was rejected as a chronic readiness challenge during the 2010s, was accepted as a clear threat to future readiness.
