NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS
Finally, participants were asked which acquisition organization they believed performed acquisition best (Figure 13). The NRO led with 11 total votes plus another three replies, which stated multiple organizations (including the NRO). The Department of the Air Force RCO was mentioned five times. Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), including the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), and United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) were mentioned four times each. Of note, those who chose multiple organizations typically chose two or more from the following list: RCO, NRO, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, AFLCMC, “Green Door” (classified organizations), or the Air Force’s Big Safari program office. Participant responses to this question provided the basis for their responses to the remaining 13 narrative-style questions.
