Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization: DOD's Fight Against IEDs Today and Tomorrow. November 2008.
- "Although JIEDDO spends more than $4 billion annually under these three lines of operation and reports significant progress, this study concludes that it is not clear how well the organization is accomplishing its mission. Our findings include: JIEDDO is supposed to be the focal point for all Department of Defense actions to defeat IEDs; however, JIEDDO does not actively lead all DOD C-IED efforts; JIEDDO relies on certain C-IED statistics to justify its claims of success; however, these metrics do not effectively capture or accurately reflect its performance; One of JIEDDO's strengths is its large budget and flexible appropriations; however, considering the substantial appropriations JIEDDO receives, additional oversight would serve the mission and the nation well; The Department quickly turned an ad hoc Army Task Force into today's multibillion dollar JIEDDO; and however, despite the recent decision to institutionalize the organization, questions concerning JIEDDO's future remain. For instance, some believe JIEDDO's 'laser-like' focus on the IED threat is essential, while others suggest that JIEDDO should expand the scope of its mission to counter other asymmetric threats. This report examines these and other issues surrounding JIEDDO. The Subcommittee offers findings and recommendations to the Department of Defense as it
continues its battle to protect service members from IEDs--the number one combat killer in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Critical Challenges Confronting National Security: Continuing Encroachment Threatens Force Readiness. May 2002.
- "It is the judgment of this Chair, based on first-hand observation, that our fighting forces are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to the subject of the encroachment on and loss of U.S. military training ranges. All military career fields require training, be it the Army artillery forward observer calling in fire missions to support the maneuver of an infantry battalion or a Navy carrier pilot delivering bombs in a close air support mission. These exercises are critical to the synergistic effect of combined arms training. This type of training keep[s] our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines alive on the battlefield, successful in combat, and proficient in their use of ever more complex military technology. This is the only way we can give our armed forces the highest likelihood of success."
