DEFENSE INVENTORY: More Accurate Reporting Categories Are Needed

Abstract

This report addresses DOD'S secondary item inventory, which includes spare and repair parts, fuel, construction materials, clothing and textiles, and medical and dental supplies. DOD annually summarizes its secondary item inventory in its Supply System Inventory Report. The report is based on financial inventory and other inventory reports prepared by the military services and the Defense Logistics Agency (DIA). The report is used as a management tool to monitor changes in the level of inventory that is available for use.
