@Section809Panel The Panel sunsets tonite. The Commissioners & Staff spent 3 years delivering 4 reports & a Roadmap to put DoD’s Acq Sys on a warfooting to deliver capability to warfighters inside the turn of near peer competitors & nonstate actors. SECDEF & Congress take action.

On July 15, the panel is closing up shop. It's "both the end and the beginning of an era." @ShelVJJohnson @ncma ncmahq.org/news/magazine-det…
"Discipline in DoD’s spending & procurement has come to be the rule and not the exception. How America’s largest bureaucracy got there is a story of tough accountability, right incentives, & tenacious focus on the needs of troops themselves." @DefenseOne defenseone.com/ideas/2019/07…
"The sad truth is, unless government and contractors step up and persistently advocate for change, there’s a high likelihood that the panel’s recommendations will die on the vine." @FederalNewsNet federalnewsnetwork.com/contr…

"White House is leaning toward a continuing resolution instead of a broader deal. But that’s a no-go with McConnell, who told reporters it would be “unacceptable ... from a defense point of view,” as would sequestration." @reporterjoe @defense_news defensenews.com/congress/201…
“Policy does not drive results. People drive results. If you’re putting a dashboard in front of somebody, but they don’t know how it was created, what fed up into it, they may make potentially dangerous decisions.” @FederalNewsNet @jheckmanWFED federalnewsnetwork.com/big-d…
"To move DoD into the future, panel recommends creating 2 levels of coordinated portfolios. Requirements & budgeting coordinated across both levels would reduce problems such as inadequate/misaligned funding or redundant capabilities." @BreakingDefense breakingdefense.com/2019/07/…
OMB guidance continues work of FITARA. “Aligning common investments like data centers, end-user devices, software, & networks and linking budget & performance is critical to make informed decisions about performance of these investments." @FederalTimes federaltimes.com/management/…

Inhofe: "We’ve still got more work to do on the NDAA. We need to conference with the House, and get a conference report enacted by October 1. In the month of July we’ve also got to do our annual funding bills, and reach a budget deal.” @BreakingDefense breakingdefense.com/2019/06/…
