Defense Institution Reform Initiative Program Elements Need to Be Defined

Our objective was to determine the effectiveness of the Defense Institution Reform
Initiative (DIRI) Program process regarding identifying and sustaining the defense
capabilities of its partner nations. We determined whether the DIRI Program’s published
information was sufficient to define the program’s mission and goals, program strategy, and
performance measures and whether defense institution building policy (DIB) or procedures
existed. We also determined whether Center for Civil-Military Relations (CCMR) program
officials maintained sufficient DIRI Program documentation. See Appendix A for the scope
and methodology and prior coverage related to building defense institution capacity, or
DIB.
