Requires the Secretary to ensure that: (1) DOD develops and implements a program to manage performance in establishing joint military requirements; and (2) each military department establishes a process for identifying, assessing, and approving requirements for the acquisition of services. Directs the Chairman of the Joint Requirements Oversight Council to designate a commander of a unified combatant command to provide a joint evaluation task force to assist in the acquisition of a materiel solution for a joint military requirement. Requires: (1) a review of the DOD acquisition guidance; and (2) revision of the Federal Acquisition Regulation to include appropriate references to services contracting. Directs the Secretary to use DOD employment authorities to develop and manage a highly skilled professional workforce which ensures that DOD receives the best value for its expenditures. Encourages the Secretary to carry out a demonstration project on proposals to improve personnel management policies and procedures applicable to the DOD acquisition workforce.
