Reconciling budget limitations with the mission set and procurement / force structure / modernization desires.

I agree, but ACoS & JCoS continues to tell Capitol Hill that budget limitations are limiting modernization and troop curtailments may put security at risk.

Exactly. The disparity between budget reality and operational capacity presents the biggest challenge for SECDEF, current and future. It's no longer business as usual, and the Pentagon, and our politicians in Congress, will need to realize this sooner than later.

I agree and think it's going to take something very unfortunate to happen to drive this point home.
