Worldwide Military Command and Control System Consolidation in the Pacific Theater

Abstract

This final report discusses DoD Hotline allegations that the consolidation plan for the Worldwide Military Command and Control System (WWMCCS) host computer sites in the Pacific Theater is not cost-effective. A draft of this report was provided to USPACOM for comment on January 28,1993. Comments on the draft report were provided on April 7, 1993. Based on documentation provided by USPACOM in response to the draft report, a recommendation to reduce one-time consolidation costs by $21,000 was dropped from this final report. For the two remaining recommendations, USPACOM nonconcurred with Recommendation 1. and the associated potential monetary benefits and concurred with Recommendation 2. but failed to provide an implementation date for the corrective action. Details on the unresolved issues are discussed in Part II of the report. The Pacific Command, through its subordinate commands, operated four Worldwide Military Command and Control System (WWMCCS) host computer sites and planned to establish a fifth site in FY 1993. In February 1992, the U.S. Pacific Command proposed consolidating the five host computer sites into two sites: one at the U.S. Army Pacific, Fort Shafter; and one at the U.S. Pacific Air Forces, Hickam Air Force Base. The audit objective was to evaluate the validity of a Hotline allegation that the U.S. Pacific Command's WWMCCS consolidation plan was not cost-effective.
