Peace Operations: Cost of DOD Operations in Somalia

Abstract

In response to widespread starvation in Somalia, the United States provided support for relief efforts as part of three U.N.-sponsored operations, After discussions with several congressional committees, GAO reviewed the costs associated with these operations to determine (1) what incremental costs' the Department of Defense (DOD) incurred during its operations in Somalia; (2) the impact these operations have had on DODs normal spending plans; and (3) what, if any, reimbursement the United States could expect for expenses incurred during the Somalia operations and how DOD and the State Department will share such reimbursement.
