Consolidating Military Base Support Services Could Save Billions

Abstract

Base support services--administering civilian personnel, disposing of trash and sewage, maintaining property, etc.--are those activities necessary for the daily functioning of a military base, but not directly contributing to the mission accomplishment of combat units on the base, Because of their high costs, it is important that the military services share resources among themselves, or otherwise obtain services at the least cost. This report evaluates the programs the Department of Defense is using to reduce base support costs and identifies opportunities for improving them. It also offers alternatives to reach this goal.
