Annual Report on Sexual Harassment and Violence at the Military Service Academies: Academic Program Year 2015-2016
"The Military Service Academies (United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy, and United States Air Force Academy) continue to make clear and demonstrable progress in supporting cadets and midshipmen who report sexual assault and sexual harassment. Each academy provided substantial evidence that victim response, healthcare, investigative, and military justice resources work well in response to sexual assault. [...] The survey conducted this year with cadets and midshipmen indicates that efforts to improve sexual harassment prevention and to promote example setting by cadet and
midshipman leaders may prove helpful in decreasing the occurrence of sexual assault. In addition, more work must be done to help cadets and midshipmen recognize situations at risk for sexual assault. Data indicates that when cadets and midshipmen identify these situations, the vast majority of them take some kind of action to defuse the situation. Survey results further indicate that better recognition of risky situations and subsequent intervention may reduce sexual assault by up to one third."

Department of Defense International Space Cooperation Strategy [January 2017]
"The sustainability, stability, and free access to and use of space are, and will remain, vital to the Department of Defense (DoD) in protecting U.S. national security interests. Over the past decade, it has become clear that potential adversaries are developing counterspace capabilities to deny the United States such access to and use of space. In this increasingly contested domain, the United States must be prepared for conflict that will either begin in or extend to space as adversaries seek to gain asymmetric advantages. These challenges were recognized in the 2010 National Space Policy (Presidential Policy Directive/PPD-4) and the 2011 National Security Space Strategy. Both documents pointed toward international cooperation as a central element of the larger U.S. space strategy. This DoD International Space Cooperation Strategy (ISCS) establishes DoD's approach for invigorating cooperation and collaboration with trusted allies and partners across the spectrum of DoD's space-related activities and mission areas. The key purposes for this expanded international space cooperation and collaboration are expanded interoperability, sustainability, mission assurance, and assured access to critical capabilities in crisis and contingency operations. The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Military Departments, the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Joint Staff, the Combatant Commands, the Missile Defense Agency, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the Defense Technology Security Administration -- hereafter referred to collectively in this DoD ISCS as the 'DoD Components' -- will incorporate the strategic goals of this ISCS as appropriate into the execution of their unique implementation plans, addressing the specific ways and means required to achieve the strategic goals."

Managment Challenges Fiscal Year 2016
"Public Law 106-531, the 'Reports Consolidation Act of 2000,' requires that Inspectors General prepare an annual statement that summarizes what they consider to be the 'most serious management and performance challenges facing the agency.' By statute, this statement is required to be included in the Department's Agency Financial Report. The following is the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General's (DoD OIG) statement regarding the top management and performance challenges facing the DoD. The DoD OIG identified these challenges based on DoD OIG oversight work, research, and judgment; oversight work done by other components within the DoD; and oversight projects by the Government Accountability Office. While we reviewed DoD statements, documents, and assessments of the critical issues it faces, we identified these challenges independently."

Assessment of U.S. and Coalition Efforts to Train, Advise, Assist, and Equip the Kurdish Security Forces in Iraq
"We found that the U.S. and Coalition train, advise, assist, and equip activities have helped the KSF [Kurdish Security Forces] to further develop its capability to conduct combat operations against ISIL [Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant]. We also identified several areas for improvement in the U.S. and Coalition's mission to train, advise, assist, and equip the KSF: [1] U.S. officials did not have a comprehensive written plan to sustain the two brigade equipment sets that the U.S. intended to provide to the KSF, which could result in equipment deterioration. [2] U.S. units lacked visibility of U.S.-transported equipment (both U.S.-purchased and Coalition-donated) within the U.S.-managed supply chain to be supplied to the KSF, which could lead to duplicate acquisition as well as potential loss of accountability. [3] U.S. units initiated and performed informal advise and assist activities with the KSF in the areas of training development, logistics, and ministry professionalization that needed to be established as an official requirement to sustain their positive effects."

Director, Operational Test and Evaluation: FY 2016 Annual Report
From the document: "The report summarizes the operational test and evaluation activities (including live fire testing activities) of the Department of Defense during the preceding fiscal year." [...] "The primary goal of operational testing is to understand how new and upgraded systems will perform under the stresses of realistic combat conditions, prior to the Full-Rate Production decision and fielding to combat units. Understanding the capabilities and limitations of systems before they are used in combat is important to commanders in the field and to the men and women who protect our country. Furthermore, the identification of problems permits corrective action before large quantities of a system are procured and minimizes expensive retrofitting of system modifications. Even for systems in which a few units (e.g., ships, satellites) will be acquired, operational testing is essential to find and fix problems, which often can only be found in operationally realistic test conditions, and characterize system performance across operational conditions before the warfighter has to use it in combat."

DoD Policy Recommendations for The Internet of Things (IoT)
From the Purpose statement: "This paper provides background and policy recommendations to address vulnerabilities (and take advantage of opportunities) related to the increasingly pervasive and semi-autonomous internetcapable devices that make up what is known as the Internet of Things (IoT). Due to high utility, low cost and ease of deployment, the IoT is proliferating rapidly as both stand-alone devices, and embedded sensors and controls in nearly every type of electronic device, from household appliances to aircraft. At the same time, IoT introduces vulnerabilities and concerns to the operation and security of networks and information, including those of the Department of Defense (DoD). IoT is already upon us, with millions of these devices already installed in our facilities, vehicles, and medical devices. The newest DoD green buildings have tens of thousands of sensors. The growth of internet-connected medical devices has been similarly exploding. IoT devices have the potential to be incorporated in our weapons and intelligence systems (both intentionally and unintentionally). Due to the sheer number of IoT devices and their limited processing power for running firewalls and anti-malware, the issue of their security vulnerabilities is quantitatively and qualitatively different than vulnerabilities previously associated with mobile devices and industrial control systems; as such, we are overdue in implementing associated policy and controls. Given the security and sensitivity of DoD missions, we need to act now to address DoD interests and identify additional steps that must be taken. Insights gained should be shared with the commercial world."

Report to Congress on Strategy to Protect United States National Security Interests in the Arctic Region
From the Executive Summary: "The Department of Defense (DoD) remains committed to working collaboratively with allies and partners to promote a balanced approach to improving security in the Arctic region. DoD's strategy in the Arctic builds upon the 2009 National Security Presidential Directive 66/Homeland Security Presidential Directive 25, 'Arctic Region Policy', and the 2013 'National Strategy for the Arctic Region (NSAR)'. DoD's 2013 'Arctic Strategy' nested under those two overarching national-level guidance documents. DoD's 2016 'Arctic Strategy' updates DoD's 2013 'Arctic Strategy' as required by Section 1068 of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2016 (P.L. 114-92) in light of significant changes in the international security environment. It refines DoD's desired end-state for the Arctic: a secure and stable region where U.S. national interests are safeguarded, the U.S. homeland is defended, and nations work cooperatively to address challenges. The two main supporting objectives remain unchanged: 1) Ensure security, support safety, promote defense cooperation; and 2) prepare to respond to a wide range of challenges and contingencies-operating in conjunction with like-minded nations when possible and independently if necessary-in order to maintain stability in the region. This update also adds a classified annex."

Department of Defense: Law of War Manual [December 2016]
This document is the updated version of the Department of Defense Law of War Manual. "This manual is a Department of Defense (DoD)-wide resource for DoD personnel -
including commanders, legal practitioners, and other military and civilian personnel - on the law of war. This manual has many distinguished antecedents that have provided important guidance to the U.S. Armed Forces. For example, General Order No. 100, the Instructions for the Government of Armies of the United States in the Field, commonly known as the Lieber Code, was prepared by Professor Francis Lieber and approved by President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War in 1863. A similar code related to naval warfare titled The Law and Usages of War at Sea: A Naval War Code was prepared by then-Captain Charles H. Stockton and approved by President William McKinley in 1900. The War Department published instructions for the armed land forces of the United States in a 1914 manual titled Rules of Land Warfare, which was updated in 1917, 1934, and 1940."

Enhancing Security and Stability in Afghanistan [December 2016]
"The Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) have shown promising but inconsistent progress as they near the end of their third year in the lead for security of their country and the second year maintaining full security responsibility with limited U.S. or coalition support on the battlefield. During the June 1 to November 30, 2016, reporting period, the ANDSF effectively executed their 2016 summer campaign plan, Operation 'Shafaq'; capability gaps in key areas such as intelligence, aviation, and logistics are improving but still hinder effectiveness. The ANDSF retained control of major population areas and quickly responded to and reversed any Taliban gains. [...] The President's July 2016 decision reaffirms the U.S. Government's enduring commitment to the ANDSF, to the Afghan Government, and most importantly to the Afghan people. The decision also recognizes that the ANDSF will require more time and assistance to develop into an effective, sustainable, and affordable force that can protect the Afghan people and contribute to regional and international security. During this reporting period, 39 NATO Allies and partner nations and the broader international community also reaffirmed their commitment to enhancing security and stability in Afghanistan."

Quick Reference: Radiation Risk Information for Responders Following a Nuclear Detonation
"This document supports the 'Planning Guidance for Response to a Nuclear Detonation' and was designed to provide responders with specific guidance and recommendations about the radiation risk associated with responding to an improvised nuclear device (IND) event, in order for them to protect themselves from the IND effects. It is intended to be part of preparation training with the 'Health and Safety Planning Guide For Planners and Supervisors For Protecting First Responders Following A Nuclear Detonation'. This provides basic information responders will need for the first 24 -72 hours after an extreme event -- a nuclear detonation. These guidelines are not designed to apply to other, less extreme, radiological events. Specific information/training should be sought for those. Some of this guidance will be counterintuitive to those trained in emergency response; however, it is critical that responders remain as safe and healthy as possible, not only for their own safety, but also to remain available for the ongoing mission of saving lives. Responders involved in an IND event need to be prepared to see numerous victims with serious traumatic injuries and illness including: severe burns, blindness, deafness, amputations, radiation sickness, etc."
