Coordination of Electromagnetic Frequency Spectrum and International Telecommunications Agreements.

Abstract

This report is the third in a series resulting from our audit of DoD communications capability in major regional conflict scenarios. The report discusses coordination of electromagnetic frequency spectrum support from host nations and the management of international telecommunications agreements. Report No. 97-187, "Communications Capability Within DoD to Support Two Major Regional Conflicts Nearly Simultaneously," July 14, 1997, discussed military satellite communications and the requirements determination process for deliberate planning of national military strategy. Report No. 98-009, "Demand Assigned Multiple Access Terminals," October 14, 1997, discussed management of the fielding and funding of demand assigned multiple access terminals. The overall audit objective was to evaluate DoD communications capabilities to support two major theater wars. Specifically, we evaluated the coordination of electromagnetic frequency spectrum requirements with host nations for deployed communications equipment and the management of international telecommunications agreements. The audit also reviewed the management control program as it applied to the overall audit objective.
