Business Transformation Agency

Paul Brinkley - Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Business Transformation

Building and maintaining the most efficient fighting force possible goes beyond weaponry and strategy. Deputy Under Secretary Brinkley says it also requires smart, transparent business processes.

Another challenge facing the task force has been to find markets for Iraqi products.
