Department of Defense Political Appointments: Positions and Process : RAND Corporation , 2001
From the preface: "On September 15, 1998, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology directed the establishment of a Defense Science Board Task Force on Human Resources Strategy. He chartered the task force to review trends and opportunities to improve DoD's capacity "to attract and retain civilian and military personnel with the necessary motivation and intellectual capabiliities" to serve and lead within the Department. The task force then asked the National Defense Research Institute (NDRI) for analytic support. Specifically, NDRI was asked to undertake two larger tasks: (1) to collect and analyse existing DoD data on presidential appointees with Senate confirmation and on political appointees who do not require Senate confirmation; and (2) to review the literature both on the appointees and on the appointment process, focusing on the deterrents that potential appointees may encounter. This report documents the results of this work, some of which was incorporated into the task force's final report, which was released in February 2000 by the Officce of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics."
