The Department of Defense generates funds from the sale of equipment for which there is no requirement for replacement in the Department's inventory. Receipts from sales are termed "free assets." This report identifies weaknesses in reporting and managing free assets and makes recommendations for improving the Department's visibility and control over the generation of free assets and their application in reprograming.
