DoD¿s management of its supply chain network is critical to supporting military forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere and also represents a substantial investment of resources. As a result of weaknesses in DoD's management of supply inventories and responsiveness to warfighter requirements, supply chain management is a high-risk fed. gov¿t. program. In July 2010, DoD issued a new Logistics Strategic Plan that represents the dept's. current vision and direction for supply chain management and other logistics areas. This testimony: (1) describes DoD's prior strategic planning efforts in the area of logistics; (2) highlights key elements in the new Logistics Strategic Plan; and (3) discusses opportunities for improvement in future iterations of this plan.

Each year, the U.S. spends billions of dollars on space-based systems to support national security activities. The National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2010 requires the DoD and the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to develop and issue a space science and technology (S&T) strategy every two years addressing S&T goals and a process for achieving these goals, among other requirements. This report addresses: (1) the extent to which the strategy meets the statutory requirements; (2) if other approaches could be used to enhance the usefulness of the strategy; and (3) the extent of coordination efforts used in developoing the strategy.

The DoD spends billions of dollars each year to maintain key business operations, including systems and processes related to the management of contracts, finances, the supply chain, support infrastructure, and weapon systems acquisition. A number of these areas are vulnerable to fraud, waste, abuse, and mis-management and because of opportunities to achieve greater efficiencies and free up resources for higher-priority needs. This study assessed the extent to which DoD has taken steps to: (1) implement management frameworks for business transformation; and (2) develop business transformation plans, supported by a strategic planning process, that enable them to align goals and planning efforts and measure progress.

In FY 2009, the DoD spent $4 billion to move troops and materiel into Afghanistan, a mountainous, arid, land-locked country with few roads, no railway, and only four airports. In Dec. 2009, the Pres. announced that an additional 30,000 U.S. troops will be sent to Afghanistan by August 2010. This testimony reviews DoD's logistics efforts supporting operations in Afghanistan, including: (1) the org. involved and routes and methods used to transport supplies and equip. into and around Afghanistan; (2) steps DoD has taken to improve its distribution process, based on lessons learned from prior operations; and (3) challenges affecting DoD's ability to distribute supplies and equipment within Afghanistan, and its efforts to mitigate them.
