To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is increasingly apparent that the basic reason for the Department's inability to meet its own objectives is a serious mismatch between the funds which the adminis- tration has budgeted for defense, and the missions which the administration contin- ues assigning to the services. The General Accounting Office estimates this mis- match is a $150 billion shortfall. Although underfunding figures prominently in this matter, the reasons for the readiness problem are more complicated than simple bud...get underfunding. These problems are the result of shortsightedness in committing and sustaining military forces. Simple conclusions and proposed solutions — such as using modernization funds to fix current readiness problems — are plausible, but wrong. Readiness is a complex subject. It is the cumulative result oi virtually every action and decision. Individual elements, such as the maintenance backlog, may have little meaning in themselves, yet their cumulative and compounding effects are significant.
