Role of Nuclear Weapons
From the Document: "The findings and recommendations of the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) maintains the United States' traditional, bipartisan approach to nuclear policy: ensure a safe, secure, and effective nuclear deterrent while simultaneously pursuing nuclear nonproliferation and arms control efforts to advance security for the United States and its allies and partners. Every NPR has emphasized that changes in the international security environment must shape U.S. nuclear policy, strategy, and posture. Despite the rapid deterioration of this environment since the 2010 NPR, the 2018 NPR does not increase the range of circumstances under which the U.S. would contemplate the use of nuclear weapons and does not increase our reliance on nuclear weapons."

2019 Missile Defense Review
"This 2019 Missile Defense Review (MDR) is consistent with the 2017 NSS [National Security Strategy], the 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS), and the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR). It describes the policies, strategies, and capabilities that will guide the Department of Defense (DoD) missile defense programs to counter the expanding missile threats posed by rogue states and revisionist powers to us, our allies, and partners, including ballistic and cruise missiles, and hypersonic vehicles. It recognizes and highlights the important changes that have taken place in the security environment since the previous 2010 Ballistic Missile Defense Review was conducted, as well as the considerable uncertainties about the future threat environment. [...] This 2019 MDR also emphasizes that the missile threat environment now calls for a comprehensive approach to missile defense against rogue state and regional missile threats. This approach integrates offensive and defensive capabilities for deterrence, and includes active defense to intercept missiles in all phases of flight after launch, passive defense to mitigate the effects of missile attack, and attack operations during a conflict to neutralize offensive missile threats prior to launch."

DOD Cyber Crime Center (DC3) Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP) Annual Report 2019, Volume 1
From the Document: "While 2019 has arguably been our most successful year to date it is equally important to highlight several of our future goals that we hope will bring great value to the program and the defense of our nation's digital assets. The DoD VDP [Vulnerability Disclosure Program] has developed three distinct lines of effort (LOEs) to strategically drive towards. This allows us to narrow our focus and better align our resources while continuing to provide the same world-class service to the Warfighter."

Negotiated Settlement in Afghanistan: Elements of a Grand Bargain
From the Document: "It is not yet clear whether reconciliation in Afghanistan is possible. But what has become increasingly clear is that certain critical elements must be addressed and overcome before any semblance of longterm stability in Afghanistan can emerge. This report is structured into three main sections: 1) contextualizing the current pressure toward reconciliation in terms of what Afghans want, 2) breaking down a potential negotiated settlement into its essential component parts, and 3) looking at some of the spoilers that make this process particularly difficult in Afghanistan. This report does not seek to establish the ground truth from an objective perspective--such an effort is not possible in the context of competing interests of stakeholders both inside and out of Afghanistan. Instead, it seeks insights from leading experts from a variety of viewpoints that hopefully lead to a more nuanced understanding of the critical paths and roadblocks to a grand bargain in Afghanistan."

Security Controls at DOD Facilities for Protecting Ballistic Missile Defense System Technical Information [Redacted]
"(U) We determined whether DoD Components implemented security controls and processes at DoD facilities to protect ballistic missile defense system (BMDS) technical information on classified networks from insider and external cyber threats. (U) We conducted this audit in response to a congressional requirement to audit the controls in place to protect BMDS technical information, whether managed by cleared Defense contractors, or by the Government. Cleared contractors are entities granted clearance by the DoD to access, obtain, or store classified information, to bid on contracts, or conduct activities in support of DoD programs. (U) We analyzed only classified networks because BMDS technical information was not managed on unclassified networks. The classified networks processed, stored, and transmitted both classified and unclassified BMDS technical information. This is the second of two audits to determine whether the DoD protected BMDS technical information from unauthorized access and disclosure. On March 29, 2018, we issued a report on the effectiveness of logical and physical access controls in place to protect BMDS technical information at Missile Defense Agency (MDA) contractor locations. The report identified systemic weaknesses at the contractor locations concerning network access, vulnerability management, and the review of system audit logs."

DoD Cloud Strategy
From the Foreword: "The Department of Defense (DoD) has entered the modern age of warfighting where the battlefield exists as much in the digital world as it does in the physical. Data and our ability to process data at the ready are differentiators to ensure mission success. Cloud is a fundamental component of the global infrastructure that will empower the warfighter with data and is critical to maintaining our military' s technological advantage. The DoD Cloud Strategy reasserts our commitment to cloud and the need to view cloud initiatives from an enterprise perspective for more effective adoption. It recognizes our experience over the past five years and identifies seven strategic objectives along with guiding principles to set a path forward. It emphasizes mission and tactical edge needs along with the requirement to prepare for artificial intelligence while accounting for protection and efficiencies. The strategy drives implementation toward the enterprise cloud environment, an ecosystem composed of a General Purpose and Fit For Purpose clouds. It focuses implementation activities on two fundamental types of work: first is the stand up of cloud platforms ready to receive data and applications, and second is the ongoing work to migrate existing applications and to develop new applications in the cloud."

Task Force on Survivable Logistics: Executive Summary
"The Defense Science Board (DSB) Task Force on Survivable Logistics was established to evaluate the current state of the U.S. military's Joint Logistics Enterprise (JLEnt), to assess high-end threats to the JLEnt from strategic competitors such as Russia and China, and to provide recommendations for securing and sustaining the JLEnt in an increasingly contested global security environment. Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has not fought an adversary capable of the catastrophic disruption of military supply chains and deployment of personnel and materiel. As a result, the JLEnt has suffered neglect and chronic underfunding relative to other DoD priorities. Simultaneously, the ability of strategic competitors to threaten the JLEnt has increased as they invest in anti-access/area denial (A2AD) capabilities and gray zone tactics. Upon completion of the study, the Task Force found that survivable logistics are essential for continued U.S. power projection and readiness against strategic competitors. However, DoD logistics capabilities require renewed attention to ensure they will be able to achieve mission success in a contested environment. Without a demonstrably resilient and survivable logistics capability, U.S. deterrence will suffer and the ability of the U.S. military to operate globally will be at stake."

Providing for the Common Defense: A Promise Kept to the American Taxpayer
From the opening letter of Secretary of Defense James N. Mattis: "The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 enabled the Department of Defense (DoD) to continue rebuilding the U.S. military after years of destructive budget cuts. In a time of competing priorities, Congress demonstrated political courage to ensure America's sentinels remain the combat-credible military force we need to deter war and guarantee the President and our diplomats always negotiate from a position of strength. Congress did its part - and we are grateful to the American taxpayers for their support. It is now DoD's duty to spend these funds responsibly. This report demonstrates how DoD has kept its promise that every decision we make is focused on lethality and affordability. The following pages highlight how our investments over the last 18 months directly support our 2018 National Defense Strategy's three lines of effort: [1] Restoring readiness and building a more lethal force; [2] Strengthening existing alliances while building new partnerships abroad; and [3] Reforming and modernizing our Department for greater affordability, accountability, and performance."

Assessing and Strengthening the Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base and Supply Chain Resiliency of the United States
"On July 21, 2017, President Donald J. Trump signed Executive Order (EO) 13806 on Assessing and Strengthening the Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base and Supply Chain Resiliency of the United States. The EO directs the Secretary of Defense to conduct a whole-of-government effort to assess risk, identify impacts, and propose recommendations in support of a healthy manufacturing and defense industrial base - a critical aspect of economic and national security. [...] America's manufacturing and defense industrial base ('the industrial base') supports economic prosperity and global competitiveness, and arms the military with capabilities to defend the nation. Currently, the industrial base faces an unprecedented set of challenges: sequestration and uncertainty of government spending; the decline of critical markets and suppliers; unintended consequences of U.S. Government acquisition behavior; aggressive industrial policies of competitor nations; and the loss of vital skills in the domestic workforce. [...] The following report explains the macro forces impacting the industrial base, identifies primary categories of risk, illustrates impacts within sectors, and provides recommendations for mitigation."
