The Secretary's November 10, 1997, DRI was DOD'S latest effort to reform operations and processes. The report was an outgrowth of recommendations made in the Report of the Quadrennial Defense Review. The Quadrennial Defense Review report noted that, while DOD had reduced active duty personnel by 32 percent between 1989 and 1997, it had reduced the number of people performing infrastructure functions by only 28 percent. That report called for significant additional reductions in military and civilian personnel. Reductions called for by the Quadrennial Defense Review and others already planned by DOD would reduce military and DOD civilian personnel end strength levels by an additional 59,000 and 130,000 positions, respectively, below their fiscal year 1998 levels.

The U.S. Army has 3 gov¿t.-owned and operated manufacturing arsenals that it considers vital to DoD¿s industrial base because they provide products or services that are either unavailable from private industry or ensure a ready and controlled source of technical competence and resources in case of national defense emergencies. These are: Pine Bluff Arsenal, AR; Rock Island Arsenal, IL; and Watervliet Arsenal, NY. The Nat. Defense Authorization Act for FY 2001 authorized the Arsenal Support Program Initiative (ASPI), designed to help maintain the viability of the Army's manufacturing arsenals. This review determined the extent to which the Army has addressed the intended purposes set forth in the ASPI authorizing legislation. Charts and tables.

This book analyzes the security of critical infrastructures such as road, rail, water, health, and electricity networks that are vital for a nation’s society and economy, and assesses the resilience of these networks to intentional attacks. The book combines the analytical capabilities of experts in operations research and management, economics, risk analysis, and defense management, and presents graph theoretical analysis, advanced statistics, and applied modeling methods. In many chapters, the authors provide reproducible code that is available from the publisher’s website. Lastly, the book identifies and discusses implications for risk assessment, policy, and insurability. The insights it offers are globally applicable, and not limited to particular locations, countries or contexts. Researchers, intelligence analysts, homeland security staff, and professionals who operate critical infrastructures will greatly benefit from the methods, models and findings presented. While each of the twelve chapters is self-contained, taken together they provide a sound basis for informed decision-making and more effective operations, policy, and defense.

The concurrent implementation of several major Dept. of Defense (DoD) force structure and infrastructure initiatives has stressed the ability of traditional military construction to provide enough permanent living and working space for servicemembers and other DOD personnel. As a result, the services are using some movable -- or relocatable -- facilities as barracks, administrative offices, medical facilities, dining halls, and equipment maintenance facilities to meet short-term needs. This report assesses the extent to which: (1) the Office of the Sec. of Defense is providing oversight of the services' use of relocatable facilities to meet physical infrastructure needs; and (2) DoD has a strategy for managing such facilities. Includes recommend. Illus.
