Pentagon’s chief reform job is ineffective and needs to go, study says
By: Joe Gould  
WASHINGTON ― A task force formed to examine the Pentagon’s reform-focused No. 3 job has concluded the position was “mostly ineffective†at taming the department’s bureaucracy and urged that it be scrapped and replaced.
The Defense Business Board, whose task force was tapped by the Pentagon for the study, unanimously adopted the recommendations at its meeting on Wednesday.
The board warned that China’s rise as a technological powerhouse is threatening America’s military dominance while America’s mandatory spending and COVID-19 response is expected to suppress U.S. defense budgets. Meanwhile, the cost of the Defense Department’s support agencies, activities and infrastructure have steadily grown, crowding core war fighting functions.
