Marine Corps Quantitative Munitions Requirements Process.

Abstract

The overall audit objective was to evaluate DoD models in generating quantitative munitions requirements. Specifically, we are continuing to evaluate DoD theater models in generating Service threat distributions, and we are evaluating Service models and assumptions in generating quantitative requirements. This report addresses the models and assumptions that the Marine Corps used to generate munitions requirements in support of the capabilities-based munitions requirements process. Previous reports addressed the capabilities-based munitions requirements theater models and associated analytical procedures used to generate threat distributions; the management of the capabilities-based munitions requirements process; and the Army and Navy process, models, and assumptions in generating quantitative requirements. Follow-on reports will address the Air Force and U.S. Special Operations Command models and assumptions in generating quantitative requirements. We also reviewed the adequacy of the management control program as it applied to the other stated audit objective.
