520    "Every president needs a decisionmaking system that 
       harnesses the full capabilities and accumulated wisdom of 
       the U.S. government and the nation's many stakeholders. 
       Yet national security professionals--the officials who 
       must advise the president on the most-difficult decisions 
       -- cite a range of structural problems that hinder 
       effective policymaking. While a more focused and timely 
       decisionmaking process will not necessarily improve 
       outcomes for the United States, poor choices could be 
       calamitous. This Perspective analyzes a range of 
       management challenges in the national security system and 
       presents eight recommendations for strengthening U.S. 
       decisionmaking and oversight of policy implementation. 
       Among the conclusions: The National Security Council staff
       size should be reduced to better focus on high-priority 
       areas. Civil-military operations should be planned by a 
       new joint office at the State Department with a military 
       general officer as deputy. Red-team and lessons-learned 
       efforts would help ensure that the system is adaptive and 
       responsive. Better integration of intelligence insights 
       and secondments of senior officials across agencies can 
       improve the quality and coherence of decisionmaking. And 
       the use of special envoys, or "czars," should be limited"-
