Pentagon overhaul urged by Fitzhugh commission report
A presidential commission led by Gilbert W. Fitzhugh proposes 113 recommendations to reorganize the Defense Department. It would centralize authority under the Secretary of Defense with three deputies, form joint functional commands, and reduce the power of the three services in awarding contracts.
