The Department of Defense Should Adopt New Clothing Allowances

Abstract

The Senate Appropriations Committee requested GAO to examine an alternative to the present method of paying clothing allowances to military personnel. GAO concluded that the alternative could save the Government $10 million the first year and still reimburse personnel for the full replacement cost of uniforms as they wear out. GAO recommends that the alternative be adopted and that special uniform allowances for Navy chief petty officers be revised.
