U.S. ATLANTIC COMMAND: Challenging Role in the Evolution of Joint Military Capabilities

Abstract

As the twenty-first century approaches, the United States faces the critical challenge of ensuring that its military forces can meet a full range of demands. Joint operations are key to meeting this challenge, and the U.S. Atlantic Command (USACOM) was designed to play a major role in advancing the evolution of joint military capabilities. In response to congressional interest in Department of Defense (DOD) efforts to improve joint operations, GAO determined (1) USACOM'S actions to establish itself as the joint force trainer, provider, and integrator of most continental U.S.-based forces; (2) views on the value of the Command's contributions to joint military capabilities; and (3) recent expansion of the Command's responsibilities and its possible effects on the Command.
