Partitioning national Defence into portfolios, where key capabilities and activities are appropriately aggregated together, has been suggested as an effective way to manage national Defence. This paper examines in detail the application of a heuristic approach to achieve this, assessing the efficacy of various ways of partitioning national Defence using the established heuristics of systems architecting. The insights gained may then be applied to configure or refine the structure and to establish linking of the portfolios.
