Publisher's Synopsis
This historical analysis provides insights into the flow of money for preparation and actual war periods, such as the Mexican-American War (1846-48), World War I, World War II, Vietnam War, Operation Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, as well as possible future conflicts. The author and text suggest that an evaluation of technology use in modern warfare should be studied as preparation for wartime struggles and to meet this growing need for a transformation of war planning, especially in the areas of financial management for future military operational successes..
Highlighted areas of financial management explored include:
- Deployed troops' military pay
- Contracting/purchasing materials for combat support
- Inter-agency reimbursement timeframes and payment tracking
- Inadequate financial policies, systems, and procedures
- Negotiations with Congress for DOD wartime funding and monies management and oversight
