handle is hein.gao/gaobaaoot0001 and id is 1 raw text is: secretariat does not prevent other elements in the executive part of the military departments, including the offices of the service Chiefs, from providing advice or assistance to the Chiefs or otherwise participating in the acquisition function under the direction of the single office. Research and development is generally viewed as an integral part of the acquisition process. Title V specifies that for those aspects of research and development related to military requirements and test and evaluation, a service Secretary may assign responsibility to the service Chief, thus allowing responsibility for these functions to remain in the service Chief's organization. The conference report notes, however, that the conferees intended that each Service secretariat would have an expanded role in research and development activities. The Reorganization Act was seen as complementing the recommendations of the President's Blue Ribbon Commission on Defense Management (better known as the Packard Commission). To streamline and reduce the layers of review in the acquisition process, the Packard Commission recommended implementation of a three-tier management concept whereby program managers would report to program executive officers who would report to a Service Acquisition Executive in each military department.
