Unified procurement overhaul urged for military board
A Senate preparedness subcommittee report blasts the Munitions Board as a weak link in wartime Korean emergency. It calls for an Under Secretary of Defense with full procurement power across the three services or a single procurement czar to replace the board and cut red tape. The panel cites past attempts by Lovett to centralize control and urges decisive reform to accelerate decisions, resolve interservice conflicts, and curb civilian production. Say you saw it in The News.
