Beyond Goldwater-Nichols PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
BGN Phase II Report

The Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 addressed a huge problem that plagued our armed forces: the demonstrated inability of the military services to work effectively together as a joint team in conducting military operations. Beyond Goldwater-Nichols (BG-N) is a three-phased effort to explore the next era of defense reform. Its primary goal is to develop an integrated set of practical and actionable recommended reforms for organizing both the U.S. military and national security apparatus to meet 21st century challenges. As part of its outreach to build the case for necessary reforms, the BG-N study team serves as an honest broker among the various stakeholders, including between and among the Defense Department (DoD), the State Department, the White House, and the Congress, as well as among the various parties in DoD. In support of the project, the BG-N study team regularly convenes a wide and diverse body of largely former, deeply experienced military, defense, and non-defense officials to seek their judgment on a wide range of pressing issues.


The BG-N study team released the Phase 1 Final Report in March 2004, in which a number of areas were addressed, including: reassessing the civilian, joint, and service balance; building a strategy-driven, more efficient resource allocation process; strengthening the cadre of national security and defense civilians; improving DoD's and the U.S. government’s ability to conduct interagency and combined operations; and more. Phase 2 of the BG-N study was released in July 2005. With seven working groups this phase tackles a slate of issues, including: capabilities for 21st century missions; the regional and functional command structures; the U.S. government’s design in light of 21st century challenges; the defense acquisition process; the commercial-like defense agencies; joint officer management and professional military education; and new domains of warfare.

The current third phase continues its analysis of military command structures and the defense acquisition process, while primarily focusing on the future of the Guard and Reserve components of the Total Force. Clark Murdock leads the investigative study with significant contributions from Kurt Campbell, Michèle Flournoy, Pierre Chao, Christine Wormuth, and other members of the ISP staff.
