1997 DoD Budget. Potential Reductions to Operational and Maintenance Program.
Abstract
This report by the General Accounting Office (GAO) evaluates the military services' and Department of Defense's (DOD) fiscal year 1997 operation and maintenance (O&M) budget requests, which total $79 billion. GAO'S objective was to determine whether the O&M accounts should be funded in the amounts requested. GAO reviewed selected O&M activities managed by the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and DOD at the headquarters level. We also reviewed O&M activities managed by U.S. Army, Europe (USAEUR); U.S. Forces Command (FORSCOM) Combat Command; and the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets. The command and activities were selected for review because (1) O&M funding levels are increasing, (2) ongoing and issued reports by us and DOD audit agencies disclosed programmatic issues with O&M implications, or (3) congressional committees' expressed interest Table 1 identified potential budget reductions of about $3.4 billion to the fiscal year 1997 O&M budget requests.
