What is not shown is the value judgement.
The last head of the DMO was up in a high 6-figure salary and was effectively forced out for not accomplishing much of anything.
What is the value of today's DMO leadership? Are they worth what they are paid?
The author also puts this across:
The majority of additional positions, though, relate to efforts toward the introduction of improved capabilities slated in the 2000, 2009 and 2013 white papers—especially the 2009 edition’s ambitious Force 2030 plan (with six additional large subs retained in the latest version)—combined with the APS’s closer integration into a more joint Defence Organisation.
Certainly with the 2009 and 2013 White Papers, there is no value to show. Thus, many "requirements" mentioned in those poor documents are invalid.
Force 2030 is also a product of fantasy.
Much of what the Entrenched Defence Bureaucracy does, brings no value to the Defence of the Nation.
The DMO-ASC cabal being one example,
How to fix some of this?
Disband the DMO. It is a failed experiment. Each service arm should have their own logistics/program management support.
The responsibility for execution of projects will fall upon the flag-rank that leads the respective service.
Then there are actual weapons systems that bring no value for their expense and thus can be scrapped.
Wholesale.
Which will in-turn, require less logistics support people.
A short list of things to disband:
-Hobart-class Air Warfare Destroyer
-Canberra-class LHD
-Collins submarines
-MRH-90 helicopter
-Tiger helicopter
-F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (well qualified for the DMO Project of Concern List)
-Additional Super Hornets (EA-18G)
-M-1 Tank
Other issues that will require a few less civilian personnel?
Cut total flag ranks from 170 to around 30.
