Department of the Navy FY 1999 Amended Budget Estimates. Justification of Estimates; Navy Working Capital Fund.
Abstract
The FY 1999 budget builds upon the Ordnance activity group restructuring budgeted in FY 1998. The responsibility for East Coast base operations has been transferred to the Atlantic Fleet with the provision of appropriate services to be performed by Public Works Centers. Approximately $105 million in operating costs and approximately 1,100 military and civilian personnel were transferred. Additionally, the Naval Warfare Assessment Division has been transferred from Ordnance to the Research and Development activity group of the NWCF. This transfer will consolidate similar functions within the NWCF, leading to further restructuring and efficiencies in the future. Due to the continued efforts of the Department to reduce infrastructure, this budget also incorporates a test pilot project which merges the Intermediate Maintenance Facility (IMF) and Naval Shipyard, Pearl Harbor into one unified, mission funded activity under Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet. This consolidation will expedite efforts to regionalize maintenance infrastructure, ensure that sailors at the IMF are adequately trained for battle force maintenance, establish uniform management procedures and institute a single financial system compatible with the current financial structure supporting fleet maintenance and fleet operations.
