      note = {"The committee preparing this report, the Committee on  Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Workforce  Needs for the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S.  Defense Industrial Base, initially convened a workshop on  August 1 and 2, 2011, in Rosslyn, Virginia, for the purpose  of gathering a broad range of views from the public sector  and the private sector, including major defense  contractors, and from nongovernmental organizations (NGOs),  all of which are stakeholders in the future STEM workforce.  A report issued in early 2012 summarized the views  expressed by individual workshop participants.  An interim  report was issued in June 2012 for the purpose of assisting  ASD(R&E) with its fiscaly year (FY) 2014 planning process  and with lahying the ground-work for future years." -- from  page v.},

      abstract = {"The ability of the nation's military to prevail during  future conflicts, and to fulfill its humanitarian and other  missions, depends on continued advances in the nation's  technology base. A workforce with robust Science,  Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) capabilities  is critical to sustaining U.S. preeminence. Today, however,  the STEM activities of the Department of Defense (DOD) are  a small and diminishing part of the nation's overall  science and engineering enterprise. Assuring the U.S.  Department of Defense a Strong Science, Technology,  Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Workforce presents five  principal recommendations for attracting, retaining, and  managing highly qualified STEM talent within the department  based on an examination of the current STEM workforce of  DOD and the defense industrial base. As outlined in the  report, DOD should focus its investments to ensure that  STEM competencies in all potentially critical, emerging  topical areas are maintained at least at a basic level  within the department and its industrial and university  bases."--Publisher's description.},
