Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Improvised explosive devices (IED) are the number-one threat to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, accounting for almost 40% of the attacks on coalition forces in Iraq. Although insurgents' use of IEDs in Iraq has begun to decline, in Afghanistan the number of IED incidents has significantly increased. The Joint IED Defeat Org. (JIEDDO) was created to lead and coordinate all DoD efforts to defeat IEDs. Its primary role is to provide funding to the military services to rapidly develop and field counter-IED solutions. The auditor is recommending that JIEDDO: (1) improve its visibility of counter-IED efforts across DoD; (2) develop a complete plan to guide the transition of initiatives; and (3) define criteria for its training initiatives to help guide its funding decisions.

Book excerpt: Prior to the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Org. (JIEDDO) establishment in 2006, no single entity was responsible for coordinating DoD¿s counter-improvised explosive device (IED) efforts. JIEDDO was established to coordinate and focus all counter-IED efforts, including ongoing R&D, throughout DoD. This report assesses the extent to which: 1) capability gaps were initially identified in DoD's effort to defeat IEDs and how these gaps and other factors led to the development of JIEDDO; 2) JIEDDO has maintained visibility over all counter-IED efforts; 3) JIEDDO has coordinated the transition of JIEDDO-funded initiatives to the military services; and 4) JIEDDO has developed criteria for the counter-IED training initiatives it will fund.

Book excerpt: Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have faced rapidly changing threats to mission failure or loss of life, highlighting the DoD¿s need to develop and field new capabilities more quickly than its usual acquisition procedures allow. Since 2006, Congress has provided nearly $16 billion to counter improvised explosive devices alone. There have been funding, organizational, acquisition, and oversight issues involving DoD's processes for meeting warfighters' urgent needs. This report determined: (1) the extent to which DoD has a means to assess the effectiveness of its urgent needs processes; and (2) what challenges, if any, have affected the overall responsiveness of DoD's urgent needs processes. This review conducted 23 case studies. Illustrations.

Book excerpt: Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have faced significant risks of mission failure and loss of life due to rapidly changing enemy threats. In response, DoD established urgent operational needs processes to rapidly develop, modify, and field new capabilities, such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance tech'y., and counterimprovised explosive devices systems. This review determined: (1) what DoD entities exist for responding to urgent operational needs, and the extent to which there is fragmentation, overlap, or duplication; (2) the extent to which DoD has a comprehensive approach for managing and overseeing its urgent needs activities; and (3) has DoD evaluated the potential for consolidations.

Book excerpt: "Why GAO Did This StudyOver $18 billion has been appropriated to the Joint Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) to address the improvised explosive device (IED) threat, and there is widespread consensus that this threat will continue to be influential in future conflicts. DOD established the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) in 2006 to lead, advocate, and coordinate all DOD actions in support of the combatant commanders' and their respective joint task forces' efforts to defeat IEDs. This report, one in a series on JIEDDO's management and operations, addresses the extent to which DOD (1) has provided a comprehensive counter-IED strategic plan including measurable objectives that determine the effectiveness of efforts across DOD to combat IEDs, and (2) has identified counter-IED initiatives and activities, and coordinated these efforts. To address these objectives GAO reviewed counter-IED efforts from fiscal years 2006 through 2011, reviewed and analyzed relevant strategic-planning documents, collected and reviewed data identifying DOD counter-IED efforts, and met with DOD and service officials.What GAO RecommendsGAO recommends four actions for DOD to develop a comprehensive strategic plan with strategic outcome-related goals and a complete listing of counter-IED efforts to maximize its resources. DOD concurred with one"

Book excerpt: In 2006, the DoD established the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Org. (JIEDDO) to lead, advocate, and coordinate all DoD actions to defeat improvised explosive devices (IEDs). While JIEDDO has developed various output performance measures, it has not yet developed a means for reliably measuring the overall effectiveness of its efforts and investments to combat IEDs. This report addresses the extent to which JIEDDO has: (1) measured the effectiveness of its efforts and investments; (2) adhered to its review and approval process for developing counter-IED initiatives; and (3) taken action to address overall internal control weaknesses. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.
