Abstract
The global security landscape has drastically changed since the Cold War. The attacks of September 11 and subsequent coalition operations demonstrate that the global war on terror is against a new breed of enemy - continuously changing and adapting to US military strategies and tactics. Future Department of Defense (DoD) weapon system acquisition organizations and processes must adapt with this new threat - transforming to an enterprise that is capable of quickly delivering value to the war-fighter in a resource constrained environment with high operational tempos and aging fleets. Guided by the Secretary of Defense, both the USAF and USN have adopted "lean" principles as a compass to help guide their transformational journeys.
