GAO was asked to assess (1) whether DOD has clearly defined and instilled a common understanding and approach for global strike throughout the department, (2) the extent to which DOD has developed capabilities needed for global strike, and (3) the extent to which DOD has identified the funding requirements and developed an investment strategy for acquiring new global strike capabilities. GAO reviewed and analyzed plans and studies within DOD, the services, and several commands on global strike implementation and capabilities development. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-325/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-325.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-325/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-325.pdf GAO-08-325 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-325 Other Written Product GAO-08-325; Military Transformation: DOD Needs to Strengthen Implementation of Its Global Strike Concept and Provide a Comprehensive Investment Approach for Acquiring Needed Capabilities; Ballistic missile defenses Data collection Defense capabilities Defense contingency planning Defense operations Defense procurement Federal agency reorganization Federal funds Funds management Government information dissemination Military operations Military systems analysis Missile warning systems National defense operations Program evaluation Requirements definition Strategic planning Systems analysis Systems design Systems management Weapons systems Business planning Business transformation Program implementation Public Law 106-398 Public Law 108-136
