UNCLASSIFIED How do we strengthen our national defense in this time of fiscal uncertainty? Jamie Morin OSD CAPE 19 February 2015 ASMC Washington Chapter Luncheon Meeting UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED Agenda Strategy to budget PB15 to PB16 PB16 principles and choices Challenges at BCA Making every dollar count through smarter acquisition Final thoughts 2 UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED PB15 to PB16 PB15 made tough choices but maintained sufficient force structure to meet the strategy Congress rejected many PB15 reforms the Department proposed Compensation Healthcare BRAC Force structure reductions PB16 add resources and tightens our alignment to strategic guidance Balancing joint force capacities, capabilities, and readiness Increased focus on ISR and full spectrum combat readiness Modified resubmit of the reforms Congress rejected Key investments in nuclear deterrence, space, power projection and counter-A2/AD 3 UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED PB16 Request PB16 is shaped by the 2014 QDR strategy Protect the homeland Build security globally Project power and win decisively Department s Priorities Rebalance to the Asia Pacific Maintain a strong commitment to security and stability in Europe and the Middle East Sustain a global approach to countering violent extremists Reinvigorate efforts to build innovative partnerships Keeping faith with and taking care of our service members and their families Leverage the Defense Innovation Initiative Prioritize and protect key investments in technology 4 UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED Key Investment Areas ISR Additional Gray Eagle and Reaper orbits Slowing retirements of legacy forces to meet demand Nuclear Deterrence $8B in additional funding to address shortfalls in the Nuclear Enterprise Infrastructure and ICBM Security force improvements, additional nuclear shipyard workers and force sustainment Space Improving space resiliency and space control to meet the growing threat Power Projection and Counter-A2/AD Additional missile capacity for Virginia class submarines Maintain P-8A Poseidon aircraft for large area anti-submarine warfare Increased funding for electronic warfare systems 5 UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED PB16 Topline We re still living with uncertainty ($B) $675 $655 $635 $615 $595 $575 $555 $535 $515 $495 $475 FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 FY18 FY19 FY20 FY21 PB 2012 PB2013 PB 2014 PB2016 SCMR Sequester Caps 6 UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED Challenges at BCA At the PB16 funding level the strategy can bend without breaking Significant changes coming if forced to fund to BCA levels Reductions in select force structure areas Reduce Army and Marine Corps end strength Cut 11th Carrier and a carrier air wing Reduce FYDP procurement by 8 ships Divesting the Global Hawk Block 40 fleet Cutbacks in modernization and investment PB16 increase in Space control investment is reduced by 70% PB16 increase in Nuclear Enterprise investment is reduced by 40% Break many multi-year/quantity buys of critical capabilities Reduced readiness Reduce Service readiness funding by about $16B over the FYDP Larger maintenance backlogs Delay timeline to achieve joint readiness for full-spectrum operations A mechanical sequester would be even worse 7 UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED Making Every Dollar Count Through Smarter Acquisition Defense acquisition is about balancing valid, competing considerations We cannot have a strong defense with a feeble acquisition process Military comptrollers play multiple roles in the acquisition process Cost analysis advocates Resource risk balancers in PPBE Requirements generators (i.e., capability champions) Proper balancing of these roles is critical to maximizing funding stability and creating a resilient acquisition enterprise 8 UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED Cost Analysis Advocates Strengthening the quality, relevance, and timeliness of cost estimation is key Cost estimates are critical early in programs life cycles Congressional direction to improve cost estimating and acquisition program performance (e.g., WSARA) paid significant dividends Space Fence Cost estimates are a tool to measure the risk of unmanageable cost growth Air Force s Non-advocate Cost Assessments (NACA) were used to reduce cost risk by more than 90% in just 4 years 9 UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED Risk Balancers PPBE has been significantly strained by the fiscal uncertainty we have been facing Threat of BCA reductions have impaired program stability across DoD Build fiscal resiliency into the process by remaining focused on strategy Financial managers need to assess alignment of resources and strategy Balancing short-term and long-term priorities is a challenge Sequestration / continuing resolutions can create vulnerable programs In such environments, financial managers must be engaged to avoid small blips becoming death spirals 10 UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED Capability Champions Capability champions are not program champions Requirements are not set in stone, it only seems that way Sticking to a set of requirements after conditions have changed can be a recipe for acquisition failure or operational failure Focus on the end goal Change requirements and make trades when necessary Seek to remain in the cost-schedule-capability sweet spot Preventing DEAMS from becoming a nightmare Keep asking questions / seeking options Does this make sense? Do we have to have this program? Is there another way to get there? 11 UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED Balancing Challenges Build Security Globally Ends Balance Capacity Protect the Homeland Project Power and Win Decisively Means Balance Capability Readiness 12 UNCLASSIFIED
