The Department of Defense
Author: Roger R. TraskThe Department of Defense
Author: Roger R. TraskPublisher: Government Printing Office
ISBN: 9780160810329
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
This volume is a supplement to The Department of Defense: Documents on Establishment and Organization, 1944-1978. This book covers organizational changes in the Office of the Secretary of Defense between 1978 and the end of 2003. During this period there were frequent and substantial adjustments, some directed by congressional action and some by the secretary of defense. The most important legislation affecting the Department of Defense between 1978 and 2003, the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986, received its impetus primarily from Congress rather than the Department of Defense. This law joins the amendments of 1949, Reorganization Plan No.6 of 1953, and the Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1958 as one of the four major changes to the National Security Act of 1947. Because of its significance, the entire text of the Goldwater-Nichols Act is included in this publication, as well as important documents preceding its passage, including the report of the Packard Commission (1986). This collection includes documents detailing the functions of the Armed Forces and the Joint Chiefs of Staff as well as those pertaining to the roles and missions of the Armed Forces.

The Cost of a Military Person-year
Author: Carl J. DahlmanPublisher: Rand Corporation
ISBN: 0833041517
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
This work presents a new method of estimating the cost of a military person-year that focuses on the actual cost of the retirement benefits that the federal government must provide to military personal, where previously available measures focused only on annual retirement-fund accrual costs. A major implication of this alternative calculus is that truly effective force management requires an increased focus on the cost of personnel.
DNA Identification and Evidence
Author: Eric A. FischerPublisher: Nova Biomedical Books
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
This book provides an overview of how the genetic information contained in DNA is used for identification, and a discussion of issues associated with those uses. It begins by discussing the unique properties of genetic information that make it a powerful tool for identification and what is involved in making identifications from DNA. Next is a description of current federal programs and activities, followed by discussion of issues raised by the development of this new technology. Major issues include the use of DNA identification in the criminal justice system (including sample backlogs, databases, and post-conviction DNA analysis), impacts of technological improvements, and privacy. DNA evidence is a powerful forensic tool in criminal cases. Its use and capabilities have increased substantially since it was first introduced in the late 1980s. A DNA profile may provide powerful evidence in many criminal investigations, either to incriminate or exculpate a suspect. DNA evidence is very stable and can be extracted and profiled from a sample many years after being deposited. The technologies used are increasingly sensitive, powerful, fast, and cost-effective. The cost of performing analyses and the time required continue to decline. Those features of the technology are likely to continue to improve over the next decade.

U.S. Unmanned Aerial Systems
Author: Jeremiah GertlerPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Drone aircraft
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"To be sure, manned systems could accomplish many if not all of the same goals. But "unmanned systems reduce the risk to our warfighters by providing a sophisticated stand-off capability that supports intelligence, command and control, targeting, and weapons delivery. These systems also improve situational awareness and reduce many of the emotional hazards inherent in air and ground combat, thus decreasing the likelihood of causing civilian noncombatant casualties." "UAVs have gained favor as ways to reduce risk to combat troops, the cost of hardware and the reaction time in a surgical strike" and "to conduct missions in areas that are difficult to access or otherwise considered too high-risk for manned aircraft or personnel on the ground."--Page 3 (author).
