After reviewing the separate and often uncoordinated service efforts in intelligence and communications, McNamara in 1961 consolidated these functions in the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Defense Communications Agency ( the latter originally established by Secretary Gates in 1960 ), having both report to the secretary of defense through the JCS.

OSD sent the DPMs to the services and the JCS for comment ; in making decisions, McNamara included in the DPM a statement of alternative approaches, force levels, and other factors.

The DPM was hated by the JCS and uniformed military in that it cut their ability to communicate directly to the White House.

Although he was a prime architect of the Vietnam War and repeatedly overruled the JCS on strategic matters, McNamara gradually became skeptical about whether the war could be won by deploying more troops to South Vietnam and intensifying the bombing of North Vietnam, a claim he would publish in a book years later.

He accorded the service secretaries and the JCS a more influential role in the development of budgets and force levels.

The need for joint interoperability led to the Defense Reorganization Act of 1986, under which the Joint Chiefs of Staff ( JCS ) tasked NSA, the Defense Information Systems Agency ( DISA ), and the Joint Tactical Command, Control and Communications Agency ( JTC3A ) to develop a Key Management Goal Architecture ( KMGA ).
