Managing Military Readiness
"This paper presents an analytic framework that builds from previous work to yield the systematic and defendable readiness analysis that must underlie decisions ranging from budget allocation to force employment and even strategy development. To manage readiness, the Department of Defense (DOD) must balance the supply and demand of deployable forces around the world. The readiness of an individual unit is the result of a series of time-intensive force generation processes that ultimately combine qualified people, working equipment, and unit training to produce military capabilities suitable for executing the defense strategy. While this discussion is a basic tenet of production theory, it had not been commonly applied to readiness management until recently. The important point here is that understanding how the readiness of military capabilities is generated provides the clearest picture of the current readiness status and whether that status is likely to change over time. Furthermore, it provides the best shot at identifying effective management policies to ensure that DOD can generate the capabilities that the Nation asks of it. This paper argues that traditional unit-level readiness metrics are useful as part of a larger readiness management construct, but by themselves they do not provide enough information to proactively manage strategically. This approach provides a clear explanation of the causes of readiness degradations and options for how to mitigate them that can be traced to precise resource investments."

LLIS Lesson Learned: Resource Management: Developing Standard Operating Procedures and Templates for Requesting State Resources during Incidents
"State emergency operations centers (SEOC) should consider developing standard operating procedures (SOP) and templates for how county and local officials can request state resources during incidents. During the summer of 2008, the state of Iowa experienced a series of severe storms that produced several tornadoes and a large amount of rainfall. The heaviest period of storms began on May 25, 2008, and lasted until June 25. Rains caused flooding that overtopped levees and dams and inundated Iowa localities near rivers. Over a 4-week period, flood waters moved across Iowa, which required the state to undertake extensive preparedness, response, and recovery operations. Overall, the 2008 summer storms resulted in 17 fatalities, forced the evacuation of approximately 38,000 Iowans, and impacted over 21,000 housing units. The Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division (HSEMD) activated the Iowa SEOC shortly after a tornado struck the town of Parkersburg on May 25; the SEOC remained activated throughout most of the summer storm period."

Projected Costs of U.S. Nuclear Forces, 2017 to 2026
"Nuclear weapons have been a cornerstone of U.S. national security since they were developed during World War II. In the Cold War, nuclear forces were central to U.S. defense policy, resulting in the buildup of a large arsenal. Since that time, nuclear forces have figured less prominently than conventional forces, and the United States has not built any new nuclear weapons or delivery systems for many years. The nation's current nuclear forces are reaching the end of their service life. Those forces consist of submarines that launch ballistic missiles (SSBNs), land-based inter- continental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), long-range bomber aircraft, shorter-range tactical aircraft, and the nuclear weapons that those delivery systems carry. Over the next two decades, essentially all of those nuclear delivery systems and weapons would have to be refurbished or replaced with new systems to continue operating. Consequently, the Congress will need to make decisions about what nuclear forces the United States should field in the future and thus about the extent to which the nation will pursue nuclear modernization plans. [...] Besides presenting an estimate of those costs, this report also describes the major differences between CBO's current estimate and its most recent previous estimate, which was published in January 2015."

Statement for the Record Before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence: Robert Cardillo, Director, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
This is an open hearing before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. From the statement for the record of NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency) Director Robert Cardillo: "NGA and our geospatial-intelligence (GEOINT) partners help decision makers, military commanders, and first responders understand what's happening at any given place and time, and anticipate what may happen next. I believe our motto says it all, 'Know the earth, show the way, and understand the world.' Individually and collectively, I can attest that we are fully committed to our Intelligence Community (IC) and Department of Defense (DOD) responsibilities and broader obligation to the nation's security. NGA and our GEOINT partners across the national security community are critical to the IC's commitment to minimize surprise and enable decision advantage. We are routinely able to respond more dynamically than other traditional intelligence disciplines, as we have worldwide reach, increasingly persistent collection and systematic analytic access. With the explosion in publicly available information and non-traditional sources, the IC no longer has a monopoly on access or insight, but the IC is routinely asked to corroborate what is being reported and to put it into the context of what we know about the evolving issue, to include the motives of the participants and the potential threats to our interests. [...] NGA and our NSG [National System for Geospatial-Intelligence] partners, including the combatant commands and the service agencies, are integral players in operations to degrade and disrupt the ability of terrorist organizations. Every day, our analysts support our government's antiterrorism activities around the world."

Strategic Insights: Reimagining U.S. Foreign Assistance in the Middle East
From the text: "U.S. President Donald Trump has proved himself willing to question and challenge many of the conventional wisdoms embedded in contemporary American foreign policies. During his presidential campaign, he questioned the utility of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) that has formed the bedrock of American foreign and security policies throughout the Cold War. During his presidential transition, he rocked the foreign policy establishment by accepting a phone call from the Taiwanese President and hinting that he may no longer adhere to America's long-standing 'One-China' policy. In examining these early signals, many analysts anticipate that the foreign policies of his administration will be non-ideological, unconventional, and characterized by a business-like transactional approach emphasizing the costs and visible benefits of American policies and programs. Although very early in his presidential term, one issue that will almost certainly come under scrutiny will be the wide array of U.S. foreign assistance programs. The total value of these programs is slightly more than $40 billion for FY 2017 and accounts for less than 1 percent of federal spending. However, no self-respecting businessperson will leave this amount of money on the investment table without ensuring reasonable prospects for meaningful returns."

Incorporating Social Media into Federal Background Investigations, United States House of Representatives, Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Subcommittee on Government Operations, Subcommittee on National Security, One Hundred Fourteenth Congress, Second Session, May 13, 2016
This testimony compilation is from the May 13, 2016 hearing titled, "Incorporating Social Media into Federal Background Investigations," held before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Subcommittee on Government Operations, Subcommittee on National Security. From the statement of Beth F. Cobert: "As the Committee is aware, agencies make security clearance decisions using a 'whole person' approach, meaning that available, reliable information about the person, past and present, favorable and unfavorable, should be considered by adjudicators in reaching a determination. Background investigations provide agency adjudicators with the information needed in each case to examine a sufficient period of a person's life to make an affirmative decision that a person is an acceptable security risk. One component of that approach in the 21st century is the topic of today's hearing -- social media. The Office of the Director National Intelligence (ODNI) in its role as the Security Executive Agent has developed a social media policy that has undergone extensive coordination with relevant department and agency officials, including the agencies with significant national security missions and the Federal CIO (Chief Information Officer) Privacy Committee. ODNI has taken a deliberative approach in developing its policy. It was informed by social media pilots conducted by multiple agencies, including DOD, giving insight into the issues, costs, and benefits associated with conducting a social media check as part of the personnel security vetting process. Continued analysis of the results of the pilots will guide the way forward and identify areas requiring additional research." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: William Evanina, Beth Cobert, and Tony Scott.

Studies to Evaluate the Safety of Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Human Food: Repeat-Dose (Chronic) Toxicity Testing
"The current guidance is one of a series of guidances developed to facilitate the mutual acceptance of safety data necessary for the determination of acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) for veterinary drug residues in human food. This guidance was developed after consideration of the current practices for evaluating veterinary drug residues in human food in the EU, Japan, USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. It also took account of available data from sub-chronic and chronic toxicity studies. While this guidance recommends the framework for chronic toxicity testing of veterinary drugs, it is important that the design of the test remains flexible. This guidance does not preclude the possibility of alternative approaches that may offer an equivalent assurance of safety, including scientifically based reasons as to why chronic toxicity testing may not need to be provided. Within the context of this guidance, tests should be tailored to adequately establish the dose-response relationship and a no-observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for toxicity seen following chronic treatment. Adequate toxicity testing should include the administration of repeated doses to assess the effects of prolonged exposure to a parent compound and/or metabolites, to define the toxic effects of compounds following chronic exposure, and to ascertain the highest dose that does not produce toxicity. All available information on the compound should be utilized in designing the chronic toxicity test. The data obtained in this test may be used to establish a NOAEL for a veterinary drug."

Postal Service: Key Considerations for Restoring Fiscal Sustainability, Statement of Lori Rectanus, Director, Physical Infrastructure Issues, Testimony Before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, House of Representatives
"USPS [United States Postal Service] is a critical part of the nation's communication and commerce, delivering 154 billion pieces of mail in fiscal year 2016 to 156 million delivery points. However, USPS's mission of providing prompt, reliable and efficient universal services to the public is at risk due to its poor financial condition. USPS's net loss was $5.6 billion in fiscal year 2016, its tenth consecutive year of net losses. At the end of fiscal year 2016, USPS had $121 billion in unfunded liabilities, mostly for retiree health and pensions, and debt--an amount equal to 169 percent of USPS's revenues. In July 2009, GAO [Government Accountability Office] added USPS's financial condition to its list of high-risk areas needing attention by Congress and the executive branch. USPS's financial condition remains on GAO's High-Risk List. In previous reports, GAO has identified strategies and options for USPS to generate revenue, reduce costs, increase the efficiency of its delivery operations, and restructure the funding of USPS pension and retiree health benefits. GAO has also previously reported that a comprehensive package of actions is needed to improve USPS's financial viability. This testimony discusses (1) factors affecting USPS's deteriorating financial condition, (2) USPS's ability to make required retiree health and pension payments, and (3) considerations and choices Congress faces in addressing USPS's financial challenges. This testimony is based primarily on past GAO work that has examined USPS's financial condition--including its liabilities--and updated USPS financial information for fiscal years 2016 and 2017."

Executive Order 13773: Enforcing Federal Law With Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations and Preventing International Trafficking
"Transnational criminal organizations and subsidiary organizations, including transnational drug cartels, have spread throughout the Nation, threatening the safety of the United States and its citizens. These
organizations derive revenue through widespread illegal conduct, including acts of violence and abuse that exhibit a wanton disregard for human life. They, for example, have been known to commit brutal murders, rapes, and other barbaric acts. These groups are drivers of crime, corruption, violence, and misery. In particular, the trafficking by cartels of controlled substances has triggered a resurgence in deadly drug abuse and a corresponding rise in violent crime related to drugs. Likewise, the trafficking and smuggling of human beings by transnational criminal groups risks creating a humanitarian crisis. These crimes, along with many others, are enriching and empowering these organizations to the detriment of the American people. A comprehensive and decisive approach is required to dismantle these organized crime syndicates and restore safety for the American people."
