Download or read book Reexamining Military Acquisition Reform written by Christopher H. Hanks and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 2005 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Department of Defense, 63 distinct acquisition reform (AR) initiatives were undertaken from 1989 to 2002. By looking at what the AR movement "was" in the 1990s (by describing the initiatives launched under its name) and by letting acquisition personnel describe in their own words how their work was affected by those initiatives, the authors seek to shed light on what the AR movement has and has not accomplished in terms of changing the way the acquisition process works.
