There are a great many people wishing to express opinion and point of views here by commenting on various systems, resources and methods implemented in the defence sector as a result of policies implemented in the past, present or future by various decision makers.
It seems to me that it would be useful to maintain some standards that would allow for constructive thread management.
Past, present or future deployment of weapon systems, defence support resources or techniques and methods is a response to policy that seeks to mitigate a given threat.
When posting, it would be useful if threads clearly stated the following:
Forces of change causing introduction of the system, resource or method
Purpose for the policy decision
Identification and definition of core issues and problems involved in the policy
Resources or technologies to be used in design, development and implementation
Motivation for the decision
Agency of implementation
Scope and scale of implementation
Interest groups
Common myths and fears that may have influenced the decision
If you are proposing a new policy or policy change, please consider doing these first:
Recognize the different demands for policy
Understand issue emergence and policy incubation
Define underlying issues and problems
Set policy goals
Think systematically about policy design
Develop realistic options
Establish policy practice and processes
Connect implementation to the overall policy development process
Identify the key steps of implementation
Relate implementation to core tasks
Appreciate issues and problems
Analyse and make strategic choices
Think strategically about implementation
Appreciate the interrelationship between policy choice, implementation and impact
Understand the meaning of evaluation
Use different types of evaluation
Develop clear frameworks for evaluation analysis
Forecast potential policy outcomes
When substantiating any of the above, please provide appropriate data and sources that would contribute to factual and objective evaluation of your ideas by others.
Thank you
