@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…
Thanks for sharing this generous guidance and reminding PR professionals to step out of their shoes and see from the editor's perspective. It all comes down to audience awareness.
“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/…

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/…
