Changing threat postures from the Soviet Union and the
recent conclusion of a very lopsided war in the Middle East
have citizens and policy makers critically questioning the
military's composition, size and mission.
A smaller military combined with significant acquisition
policy changes, face the military acquisition community of the
future. In order to exist within that new acquisition
environment, Program Managers will have to fully understand
that environment. The Program Manager will especially need to
research the congressional - DoD relationship. It is Congress who authorizes and appropriates funds for
DoD acquisition programs. It is also Congress who conducts
aggressive oversight of acquisition programs that can affect
the PM' s leadership of an acquisition program. Developing an
understanding about these interactions is the PM' s best
strategy to prepare for their occurrence.
