OPERATION DESERT STORM: DOD's Funding Actions Relating to Leftover Inventories
Abstract
The services cannot tell exactly how much inventory came back from Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm because they used some of it in their normal operations and did not keep track of how much they used, and they do not believe they can estimate the amount. According to the services officials, following Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, the services reassessed their peacetime inventory requirements and demand levels before identifying any excess inventories. While this process was ongoing, material was being redistributed within the services to satisfy requirements and, in some instances, the inventory was also being consumed. If this inventory exceeded requirements and had not been consumed, then the services handled it as excess.
