OBJECTIVE 15. (continued)
Opportunities for Improvement include the development of consistent and quantitative
investment decision-making tools for managing our base funding and determining where new
investments should be made. This includes the development of an investment council that
integrates and prioritizes capital requirements (perhaps modeled after DoD's Joint Requirements
Oversight Committee (JROC)); a new focus on an asset's total ownership costs in comparison to the
performance contributions of that asset; the development of a comprehensive approach to
managing the Coast Guard's shore and IT infrastructure; and the targeting of our limited RDT&E
budget on projects that will maximize our performance achievements. We must overcome external
constraints on planning and spending, e.g., reprogramming limits within AC&I and separation of
total ownership costs across appropriations.
