Chapter 6
161
The Chiefs sit and argue
And advise Mr Prez
When to make war and then
The Sec does what he says
162
From him orders go out
Along chains of command
Everyone does the things
The higher ups demand
163
The Prez has the Chair tell
The Sec what to do
The Sec sends the Chair upon
Other missions, too
164
Commanders are responsible
For ensuring completion
The Sec ensures each force is
Right for each mission
165
The Sec of Defense
Provides help assorted
To make sure that all of
The troops are supported
166
For money, each leader of
Command makes request
The Sec then compiles it
And tries to assist
166a
There's a special fund
Called CINC
With extra money for reasons
Not explained to me
166b
Another fund's available
For fighting all terror
Cause readiness doesn't have
Margin for error
167
This section talks about
Special operations
Their purpose and practice
And organization
167a
In this section, part a) says
See parts b) and c)
Part b) says see a) but
No part says see g)
168
We sometimes cooperate -
With ponderous bureaucracy -
Joint military missions
To encourage democracy
Chapter 7
171
Yet another chapter full
Of councils and boards
The whole sully details
I'll faithfully record
172
The last section talked about
A council for armed forces
While this one on ammunition
Laboriously discourses
173
Advisers are brought in
To give good advice
If they're government employees
They can't be paid twice
174
Advisers are brought in
To any department
For the purpose of research
Or even development
175
A reserve forces board
Can consult on reserves
(Later on it's given the
Attention it deserves)
176
An institute of pathology
Is now given creation
To do what they do and
Provide consultation
177
For quality and practicality in
Pathology neutrality
A Registry of Pathology
Gets legality, quite totally
178
A military medical
Research foundation
Named for Henry Jackson
Was created by Reagan
179
Another council named here
Handles the nukes
And decides to invest in
More nukes or more cukes
180
They sure seem to worry about
Issues of all sorts
This section talks about
How college manages sports
181
They have a commission
To perform oversights
Aren't oversights actions
That weren't done right?
182
Another center manages
Excellent disasters
To ensure the disasters are
Efficient and faster
184
For all parts of the world
Regardless of obscurity
A regional center
Studies its security
185
Financial and accounting
System integrity
Is now being monitored
By one FMME
186
Something else new: a
DBSM committee
Makes Defense Management
Systems look pretty
Chapter 8
191
The Sec of Defense as
A matter of efficiency
Can contract for all forces a
Supplier with proficiency
192
But he delegates supervision
Of supplies instead
To somebody else then
Goes back to bed
193
The JCS Chairman
Submits bi-annually
A report on supply states
Usually done manually
194
The number of personnel is
Considered just fine
If it's no more than it was
In nineteen eighty nine
195
Something about printing -
But I really should say
That previous sections don't
Apply to the NSA
196
A center's established
With Director and Deputy
Something about missiles
And some kind of facility
197
Apparently, defense infor-
Mation costs money
And Logistics must pay the
Sec fees, which seems funny
201
Appointments made
To the CIA
Include from the Director
A yea or a nay
203
This section is mysterious
And says in essence
An important job's Director
Of missile defense
Chapter 9
221
The Sec makes a budget
For four fiscal years
On how much to spend on
Whiskeys and beers
222
And also for missions
For this thing and that
Like the cost of torpedoing
Ahmadinejad's cat
223
While compiling the budget
One of the chores
Is requesting some monies
For funding Star Wars
223a
When requesting the money
For expensive missiles
The plans must be concrete
And not bells and whistles
224
Where this money goes is
Completely secure
It's written in this section
Which is totally obscure
226
A couple of Directors
Some scores and some blame
Throw in a few baseballs
And we've got us a game
228
The actual spending
Each month may be off
Differences of fifteen mil
Or less get a cough
229
They also will fund
By trial and error
Resources needed to
Try to fight terror
231
Included in the budget's
Thirty years worth of boats -
That kind of time frame
Seems pretty remote
232
Research and development
And stuff of that sort
Must all be submitted
In the budget report
233
If the money requested
Is much different than
The money spent, the Prez
Must make excuse, if he can
