Improved Procedures for Formulation and Execution of Operations and Maintenance Budgets for Logistic Resources.

Abstract

This study reports on research to develop better methods for ensuring the O&M appropriations financed logistic resources are used consistent with Secretary of Defense decisions and policies. Systems currently used at the OSD level to allocate and account for O&M-financed logistic resources do not permit OSD to ensure that these resources are utilized consistent with these decisions and policies. This study presents a thorough review of existing relevant policies and procedures and highlights opportunities for improvements to satisfy task objectives. Finally, the study presents conclusions and a set of short-run and long-run recommendations. The short-run recommendations suggest changes that could be made for immediately improved capabilities that could be implemented starting with the May 1980 POM. For the long run, it is recommended that the Logistic Resource Annex to the FYDP be used for administering new visibility and logistic fund control procedures and that management reserves be established in the O&M appropriations.
