Planning Milestone 2: Rebalance and re-organise the Defence Force as the foundation for future growth. Planning Milestone 3: Create the sustainable Defence Force that can meet current ordered defence commitments. Planning Milestone 4: Enhance the Defence Force’s capacity to respond to nascent challenges in the strategic environment. Planning Milestone 5: Defend the Republic against insurgency and/or armed conflict to the level of limited war. Milestone 5 above reflects the Constitutional mandate to its fullest possible extent. 9 Defence Review 2014

Implementation through Defence Review Implementation Plan (DRIP) Activities mainly in Landward Defence, Air Defence, Maritime Defence and Military Health Support programmes Comprehensive planning to be conducted in 2015/16 Incremental implementation in 2016/17 onwards within available resources. Developed a performance indicator to monitor development of DRIP Will engage National Treasury on appropriate funding arrangements DOD Long-term Extended Defence Development Plan consists of the military strategy, force design, force structure, capability strategy and acquisition plan to achieve the Defence Strategic Trajectory. 10 Planning Milestone 1:

Defence Enterprise Risk Disconnect between the Defence Mandate and the Budget Vote: Inability to execute constitutional mandate. Inadequate DOD organisational Structure: Inadequate structure may compromise expected defence output. Impaired Force rejuvenation: Ineffective feeder system and ineffective exit mechanism Deteriorating DOD Facilities and Infrastructure : morale implications and may result litigation and non-compliance Non verifiable DOD performance Information: may lead to unreliable financial & non-financial information. Increase in Fraud and Corruption: Weaknesses in internal controls opportunity for fraud & corruption High prevalence of litigation: Inability of the DOD to abide by its prescribed policies and procedures Forfeited rights on DOD Property: Possible land claims may impact Defence readiness and deployment capabilities 11
