Abstract: In September 2006, the Department of Defense (DOD) announced a reorganization of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (OUSD) for Policy. The reorganization was intended to provide more comprehensive policy oversight for the nation's security challenges by realigning the organization to reflect current security priorities. Concerned about the basis for these changes and their potential effect on policy oversight for critical national security concerns, Congress required in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 that GAO evaluate the overall approach and implementation of OUSD Policy's reorganization and provide its assessment. The conference report accompanying the 2008 defense authorization bill directed that GAO also assess several human capital management issues related to the reorganization.
