What prompted the stand-up of the Defense Business Transformation Agency (BTA)?
With the recognition by the Department’s leadership that the Business Mission Area (BMA) needed to enhance support to the warfighter and provide better financial accountability to the American people, the Defense Business Systems Management Committee (DBSMC) approved the establishment of a defense agency to lead and coordinate business transformation efforts across the Department of Defense (DoD). Deputy Secretary of Defense, Gordon England directed the establishment of the Defense Business Transformation Agency (BTA) in a memorandum effective October 7, 2005. The BTA announced its organizational structure February 3, 2006.
