Rapidly evolving force structure requirements driven by transformation and urgent operational needs originating from combat bring into question the Defense industrial base's ability to respond rapidly to quickly changing requirements. The rapid acquisition of the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle, one of the largest material acquisition programs since World War II, provides an excellent review of the challenges to industrial base agility in today's wartime environment. Even though identified as an urgent need and given the highest development priority by the Secretary of Defense, the abbreviated MRAP development cycle exposed weaknesses in Defense acquisition industrial base partnership. This case study analyzes the statutory and commercial constraints, and evaluates the remedial government and business actions taken. From this data it draws conclusions as to whether or not today's industrial base is up to the task of providing effective and timely support for national defense requirements.
