Defense Infrastructure: Inventory Control Point Consolidation Savings Would Be Substantial

Abstract

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 directed you to review the Defense Logistics Agency's (DLA) management of all Department of Defense (DOD) inventory control points (ICP) and to report the results to the congressional defense committees and the Comptroller General of the United States. Your report identified large savings as well as potential risks associated with consolidating ICPs under DLA. We reviewed the report and are providing our observations on the estimated consolidation savings. Your report, along with our observations, may be useful to the National Defense Panel (NDP) and others as they assess matters raised by the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) relating to DODs logistics infrastructure.
