A year ago, I couldn't have cared less about politics, didn't know the difference between left and right, and saw no peaceful way out of the inevitable downfall of American society. federal budget of all things, recording Youtube videos, blogging, blasting anthems, and debating the establishment candidate supporters I run into. That's no small change.




Special Operations Technology Development
This program element enables USSOCOM to conduct studies and develop laboratory prototypes for applied research and advanced technology development, as well as leverage other organizations' technology projects that may not otherwise be affordable within MFP-11. Applying small incremental amounts of investments to DoD, other government agencies, and commercial organizations allows USSOCOM to influence the direction of technology development or the schedule against which it is being pursued, and to acquire emerging technologies for Special Operations Forces. This project provides an investment strategy for USSOCOM to link technology opportunities with capability deficiencies, capability objectives, technology thrust areas, human endurance and sensory performance, and technology development objectives.Special Operations Advanced Technology Development
This program element conducts rapid prototyping and Advanced Technology Demonstrations (ATDs). ATDs provide [...]



The Joint Staff (TJS)
Joint Experimentation
JE projects and activities develop and examine potential solutions for combatant command operational needs through targeted Doctrine, Organizational, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities, and Policy (DOTMLPF-P) improvements. JE tackles joint capability issues demanding sophisticated analysis, innovative design and complex experimentation leading to solutions. JE addresses topics that would prove difficult for individual combatant commands and Services to capture in the context of their immediate operational and force generation responsibilities. Joint Concept Development & Experimentation (JCD&E) projects produce a range of outcomes including inputs to major policy documents such as the Quadrennial Defense Review and Defense Planning and Programming Guidance (DPPG) and input to the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS).Joint Systems Integration

[ Research, Development, Test & Evaluation Budget ]Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA)
This budget submission sustains Web-basing all new DCMA-unique software applications, and continues supporting Web Services software technology (i.e., machine to machine information exchanges between DCMA, DCMA’s customers in the Military Services and Defense agencies, and the Defense industry, based upon the open-standard Extensible Markup Language [XML], Simple Object Access Protocol [SOAP], and so on). There are three primary reasons why DCMA is pursuing this direction. First, Web-based applications dramatically reduce the costs associated with fielding new software mission capabilities. (Only a limited handful of central servers need to be updated rather than thousands of employees’ desktop computers.) Second, Web-basing and Web Services make DCMA’s software applications much more adaptable to the ongoing and future changes in the Department’s procurement and financial management systems that are being [...]



[Procurement Budget ]Chemical Biological Defense ProgramThe Installation Force Protection program area provides Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) and High-Yield Explosive (CBRNE) protection for CONUS/OCONUS DoD installation physical structures as well as military personnel and others within the perimeter of the military reservation. Also, this program supports the acquisition of CBRNE defense equipment requirements for the National Guard Bureau's (NGB) Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams (WMD-CST) and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) Reconnaissance and Decontamination Platoons.Defense Contract Audit Agency - DCAA was eliminated in my general DoD OM proposals; therefore DCAA requires no procurements. Eliminate and save $1.5 Million. Defense Contract Management Agency - I cut DCMA by 75% in my proposal; thus cut 75% from its procurements; $1.6 Million saved. Defense Human Resources Activity - I cut DHRA by half in my proposal; thus cut half from its procurements; $5.5 Million s[...]

So now I'm apparently interested in reading applicable existing and proposed international treaties. You know, for fun. Also because they have the same power as our Constitution. So that's a pretty big deal. Wikipedia | USTR Bill Text )
