Military Bases Cost to Maintain Inactive Ammunition Plants and Closed Bases Could be Reduced

Abstract

In accordance with the Defense Planning Guidance, the Army bases its ammunition requirements on projected training, testing, and war reserve requirements for two major regional contingencies. However, this requirement is subject to review as (1) DOD rethinks its requirements to respond to the two major concurrent regional conflicts, (2) war-fighting strategies and weapons technology reduce current ammunition requirements, and (3) DOD seeks to fund weapon modernization costs through infrastructure cost reductions.
