Introduction to Program-based Defense Resource Management

Georgian Defence Policy Planning Model: Public Administration and Legal Aspects

“…c. The Doctrine. The Doctrine document detailed how the resources of a particular agency were to be effectively used to carry out specific task(s) in the area of state defence; (Tagarev, 2006), that would allow defence institutions to deal effectively with likely future challenges. Long-term planning is often referred to as strategic planning, and strategic planning is synonymously used in defence policy planning (Stojkovic and Dahl, 2007).…”

“…Initially, we can first look to the definitions that defence planners give to the word capability in various countries. For example, Australian defence planners define capability as: "The power to achieve a desired operational effect in a nominated environment, within a specified time, and to sustain that effect for a designated period" In the United States, the Homeland Security community uses the following definition: "A capability provides a means to perform one or more critical task(s) under specified conditions and to specific performance standards" (Tagarev, 2006).…”

“…Policy makers (at the national and agency levels) typically develop multiple mid-term plans / programmes which provides for the development, or at least for a qualitative change, of force capabilities (Tagarev, 2006). The process of creating these programmes is therefore called annual or biannual basis, which in turn results in the updating of short-term plans (Tagarev, 2006).…”

An Organizational Capability-Based Performance Measurement Model for Technology Conversion Process

“…The requirements and specifications of products, components, processes, services, and resources are altered with the change, and an improved understanding of the industrial, economical, technological, cultural, and market environment evolves. The capabilities are regarded as the constant in this evolution (Davis, Shaver, & Beck, 2008;Desgagné, 2009;Jamshidi, 2008;Matisoo, 2008;Neaga, Henshaw, & Yue, 2009;Pennie, 2001;Stevens, Brook, Jackson, & Arnold, 1998;Tagarev, 2006).…”

Embedding Affordability Assessment in the Analysis of Alternatives in Defense Modernization Projects

“…Resource decisions are made within a process, that in itself needs to be transparent to decision makers, e.g., to allow the preservation of a clear audit trail from national security objectives, through defense objectives to taxpayers' money. 1 Among the various requirements towards the resource management the most important are:…”
