DEFENSE BUDGET: Potential Reductions to DOD's Ammunition Budget

Abstract

As requested, we reviewed the military services justification for their fiscal year 1987 appropriation requests for ammunition items and the Army's request for the ammunition production base. In March 1986 we provided your staffs some observations and questions on various ammunition line items and production base support projects for which fiscal year 1987 funds were requested. In addition, in May 1986 we briefed your staffs on the results of our review. The May 1986 briefings met your staffs immediate needs for information for use during initial deliberations on the Defense Appropriation Bill. This report documents the information provided at the May 1986 briefing and provides final information on the results of our review.
