Introduction to the DLIS Risk Mitigation (or RM) Plan
The purpose of the RM Plan will be to provide an updated RM plan of the Department of Defense Defense Logistics Agency Defense Logistics Information Service. The current RM Plan has become outdated due to advancements in technology, technology vulnerability and exploitation, government regulations, and data protection standards. The new RM Plan project will be designed to bring the plan up to date with all requirements and set a ready framework for further updates as required. The importance of the plan is stated as the necessity to proactively mitigate the risk to the DLIS and the information secure and the information the DLIS is accountable for.
Outline for the DLADLIS RM Plan
The outline for the RM Plan is being submitted for immediate implementation based on the previously approved Risk Analysis plan. The DLADLIS will set the delivery date for the deployment of the RM plan based on their requirements. As with the previous Risk Assessment Plan, the DLADLIS will set the date and requirements for the RM plan to proceed.
Scope and boundaries for the Risk Mitigation Plan
The scope of the DLADLIS RM Plan project will include the DLIS management structure, personnel and the customers who require the DLIS information. The DLA has in excess of 26,000 employees. The RM Plan scope will include all of the combat support logistics information under the administration of the DLIS.
The boundaries for the RM plan would be defined by the criteria and requirements set forth by the RM plan mandate. An independent audit of the current RM situation should be undertaken in order to establish the RM status quo. A new RM Plan will comply with all current Federal and DOD regula...

Lastly, Gen Casey’s objective memorandum is more focus in the means that the operating force requires to successfully achieve the goals of the QRD. In the other hand the QDR provide mainly, the ways to successful protect the American people.
The Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) is a network of select aircraft from several commercial airlines that are all committed in various amounts to the Department of Defense (DoD) to provide airlift resources when the capability of U.S. military aircraft is exceeded. This system is designed so that these carriers can provide military cargo movement and troop transportation to anywhere in the world on short notice in the event of a military conflict. In order for airlines to join the CRAF, they must commit at least 30 percent of their long-range passenger fleet and 15 percent of their long-range cargo planes (Fact Sheet, 2004). These aircraft must also be U.S. registered, capable of over water operations, and have at least four complete crews assigned for each aircraft (Fact Sheet, 2004). Airlines that participate in CRAF have provided vital support to our military since the Korean War (Graham, David, 2003). The Persian Gulf War was the first official activation of the CRAF, where two thirds of the troops and one quarter of the air cargo was moved by commercial airplanes (Graham, 2003). Though not officially activated, the CRAF is currently supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom, providing nearly double the amount of aircraft that the DoD has estimated for its most demanding war strategies. This paper will provide a brief explanation of the purpose of the CRAF, its history, the effectiveness of the program, and a quick look towards the future of the CRAF.
The framework we will follow for the DoD is a descriptive control framework, which provides for governance at a high level. T...

The Army uses the Deployment Readiness Exercise Program (DRE) to validate the units ability to rapidly deploy into the fight. This chapter instructs planners on how to properly prepare for and conduct DREs in order to find the weak points in the plans that need to be adjusted. DREs may occur on an unannounced or limited notice basis, during regularly scheduled training or be part of field training exercises.
...ifies that it is a long and drawn- out process that by the time an acquisition is produced and fielded the technology has been surpassed. The Objectives Memo also identifies the need to reform this process not only for the reason stated in the QDR but also as part of good stewardship to the America public. The difference occurs how this change should happen. The QDR identifies that we must avoid sacrificing cost and scheduling for promises of improved performance. Sometimes off the shelf, technology now and cheap is better than waiting for the next war ender that may never come. By contrast, the Objectives Memo believes that both good stewardship and improvement of the acquisition process are achievable by implementing a management system. This system would provide information architecture to decision makers with timely, accurate, and efficient information.
Planning Program Budget (PPB) system was a success in Department of Defense. In 1961, the Secretary Robert McNamara and a group people from the RAND corporation joined forces to make PPB a success. Some of tactics were used by PPB system are operation research, computers, and systems analysis .The Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) was established to help Planning Program Budget (PPB) system. FYDP program projects the cost and staff according to the programs. The program is structure under the FYDP . The structure consists of a mission and factors of subunits and activities. Some of the concepts are in the FYDP program which are strategic forces, general purpose forces, research and development, guard and reserve, central supply and maintenance,
Logistics operation requires highly synchronized delivery of force and sustainment supplies a critical component to achieve battlespace dominance and defeat enemy line. Just-in-time approach in this process helped to reduce overall variability in the process and enabled logistics to reach location in a timely manner. Reducing footprints in logistical activities in battle space also helped in reducing costs from utilizing fewer people, equipment, facilities and lower inventories. Other than these two important objectives the framework of defense logistics encompass on five other supporting principles including accountability for process performance, continuously shared knowledge, Maximize commercial contracting of logistics activity outside the battle space, allocate logistics tasks to coalition partner and overall simplicity in planning and
The other steps are executing proposals by the Government Accountability Office on how to decrease overpayments and cost overruns and to review the specified high-risk acquisition programs (Moorhouse & Connolly, 2009).
The fourth step should be making sure the IR plan is tested before it’s needed. This test should include everyone involved when a real activation is made and simulate a real breach.
In order to fully understand the concept of a contingency plan, there are a few aspects which need to be explored. We must first define what a contingency plan is, followed by an explanation of why contingency plans are so valuable. Furthermore, an analysis of the implementation of contingency plans should be performed. Lastly, a comparison of such plans from other industries should be done, in order to comprehend the differences in both purpose and criteria.

The conclusion is that a DSS that would help decision makers to sort information, get an overview and suggest when dangerous events are about to occur, would be much appreciated. Such a system would enchance coalition forces information sharing since each decision maker could use the information useful to her/him and also see the bigger picture. That would allow for more collaboration between adjacent troops. DSS can be defined as a ‘what-if’ approach that uses an information system to assist management in formulating policies and projecting the likely consequences of decisions. DSS also use computer to facilitates the decision-making process of unstructured decision. But, DSS also have limitations/disadvantages that need to be solved.
