This report is the second in a series resulting from our Audit of Communications Capability Within the DoD to Support Two Major Regional Conflicts Nearly Simultaneously. This report discusses management of the fielding and funding of Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA) terminals. The total cost of the combined effort to field and fund DAMA terminals is $717.7 million. The first report, Report No. 97-187, Communications Capability Within DoD to Support Two Major Regional Conflicts Nearly Simultaneously, July 14, 1997, discusses military satellite communications and the requirements determination process for deliberate planning related to the national military strategy. The overall audit objective was to evaluate DoD communications capabilities to support two major regional conflicts. Specifically, we evaluated the Services' compliance with the Joint Staff mandate for use of DAMA terminals. We discuss the adequacy of the management controls of the related organizations in Inspector General, DoD, Report No. 97-187.
