Lessons from 1990s acquisition reform for military contracts

This title was summarized by AI from the post below.

The latest from my colleague Julia Gledhill (she/her): "The acquisition reform movement of the 1990s offers lessons for policymakers currently working to reduce regulatory oversight of the weapons acquisition system. These changes risk diminishing competition and increasing prices on military contracts, with uncertain benefits for both the military industrial base and U.S. taxpayers. Unless policymakers critically assess the impacts of 1990s reforms, they will likely amplify inefficiencies in the weapons acquisition system." https://lnkd.in/eP9kuyxC

Seems that an acquisition-driven Pentagon strategy hinders national security, promoting DOD unreadiness, Congressional-inducing waste (AKA money slathering of states), underwriting the DOD revolving door, and setting the stage for perpetual cost overruns.
