8. National Security Strategy- President Looking back 20 years 1991 to 2010
2010, President Barack Obama. Renew American leadership…; build upon sources of strength at home, while shaping an international order
2006, President George W. Bush. America is at war. This is a wartime national security strategy
2002, President George W. Bush. Disrupt and destroy terrorist organizations, act alone if necessary; use preemptive options
1997, 1998 and 1999, President William J. Clinton. Strategies for a New Century
1994 and 1996, President William J. Clinton. Engagement and Enlargement
1993, President George H. Bush. The Peace Dividend
1991, President George H. Bush. A New World Order

9. Defense Strategic Guidance -Sec Def Part I - Environment
A Challenging Global Security Environment
Violent extremists will continue to threaten U.S. interests
We will of necessity rebalance toward the Asia-Pacific region
We will continue to place a premium on U.S. and allied military presence in the Middle East
Our posture must evolve with the European security landscape
Whenever possible, we will develop innovative, low-cost, and small- footprint approaches to achieve our security objectives
Maintain relevant and interoperable military capabilities with allies and partners to assure access to global commons
Continue to enhance capabilities with domestic and foreign partners in countering the proliferation of WMD

11. Defense Strategic Guidance -Sec Def Part III - Program Development to 2020
Sustaining U.S. Global Leadership: Priorities For 21st Century Defense, January (Statements from cover Letter by Secretary of Defense)
We are shaping a Joint Force for the future that will be smaller and leaner, but will be agile, flexible, ready, and technologically advanced.
It will have cutting edge capabilities, exploiting our technological, joint, and networked advantage.
Page 6, “Toward the Joint force of 2020”
…manage the force in ways that protect its ability to regenerate capabilities
…differentiate between those investments that should be made today and those that can be deferred
…to maintain a ready and capable force, even as we reduce our overall capacity
…reduce the “cost of doing business”
…examine how this strategy will influence existing campaign and contingency plans
…examine the mix of Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) elements best suited to the strategy …retain and build on key advancements in networked warfare
…maintain an adequate industrial base and our investment in science and technology.

12. QDR 2010- Sec Def Reforms to Overcome Problems
Requirements: Early and clear definition of approved requirements based on rigorous analysis of alternatives
Acquisition workforce: Add 20,000 acquisition personnel by 2015
Cost estimates: Conduct more independent cost estimates; modernize cost and price analysis training; improve transparency of cost estimates and contractor data reporting of actual costs
Logistical Support: Integrate operational contract support (OCS) into adaptive planning; improve distribution service levels to improve end-to-end supply chain velocity and reduce supply chain costs
Current Follow on Activity - Better Buying Power 2.0
(Link) Seven focus areas with four overarching principles. Deliver better value to the taxpayer and Warfighter by improving the way the Department does business.

13. Better Buying Power 2.0 – Apr 23, 2013 page 3

14. QDR planning
• QDR 2014 will be the fifth since Congress established the requirement in the fiscal year 1997 National Defense Authorization Act.
Center for Strategic& International Studies conducted a QDR 2014 Preparation conference for Under Secretary of Defense for Policy (selected statements)
The 2014 QDR will be conducted against a backdrop of unprecedented fiscal uncertainty.
High-level participation and buy-in are critical to successfully establish priorities within the QDR.
The 2014 QDR should utilize the 2012 Defense Strategic Guidance as a point of departure; it should not undertake a comprehensive reassessment of defense priorities or the strategic landscape.
DoD’s internal cost growth is hollowing out the defense budget from within and must be addressed by the 2014 QDR.
The inclusion of nuclear, missile defense, cyber, and space forces in the 2014 QDR would be a beneficial development

15. National Military Strategy – Chairman - 2011 Redefining America’s Military Leadership
Three broad themes:
Leadership approach is often as important as the military capabilities we provide
Deepen security relationships with our allies and create opportunities for partnerships with new and diverse groups
Full spectrum of military capabilities and attributes will be required to prevent and win our Nation's wars.
Current
– Feb 2011
Capabilities (pg 18)
Modular, adaptive, general purpose forces that can be employed in the full range of military operations
Surge on short notice, deploy agile command and control systems, and be increasingly interoperable with other U.S. government agencies
Precise and discriminate action and increasingly possess security force assistance expertise
Reducing large fuel and energy demands
Train and exercise in degraded air, sea, cyber, and space environments
Prior year

16. Strategic Direction to the Joint Force - Chairman - 6 Feb 2012
Achieve our National Objectives in our Current Conflicts ( 4 Key Efforts)
Develop Joint Force 2020 (5 key efforts – page 8)
Pioneer new ways to combine and employ emergent capabilities
Drive Jointness deeper, sooner in capability development, operational planning, and leader development. Identify and reduce, but do not eliminate, overlapping capabilities across Services
Preserve the readiness of our force. Choose a smaller, well trained, and equipped force over a large force ……
Move quickly toward Joint information and simulation networks that support secure and agile command and control
Be Affordable in every way possible
Renew Our Commitment to the Profession of Arms (4 Key efforts)
Keep Faith with Our Military Family
