Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen H. Hicks approved the FY2024 Annual Performance Report for the DOD Strategic Management Plan for FYs 2022 - 2026.

As Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks noted in her letter inside the report, the FY2024 APR highlights the department's FY2024 Implementation Results, which show how the department has accelerated progress in achieving our strategic priorities and objectives. Over the last two years, DOD Components have focused in particular on aligning our strategic ends and our resources. The department has improved oversight and governance mechanisms, streamlined processes, and championed a culture of proactive performance tracking and monitoring to inform executive decision-making. The result is enhanced accountability and visibility, using authoritative data.

The department's Performance Improvement Officer (PIO) led the preparation of the FY2024 APR through coordinated and collaborative partnerships with the DOD components. The report consolidates performance results across all DOD components and communicates overall implementation progress against the SMP's strategic objectives and performance goals, as well as the Agency Priority Goals.

For the first time, the FY2024 APR also addresses the statutory requirements in Title 10, U.S.C., § 125a and includes progress updates on Performance Improvement Initiatives (PIIs). The objectives of PIIs are to: 1) accelerate the implementation of enduring advantages as articulated in the NDS and SMP, and 2) address management priorities, including enterprise-wide reform and transformation.

The SMP FY2024 APR is available on the PIO and Director of Administration and Management's website and also here.
