Final Quick-Reaction Report on the Audit of DoD Base Realignment and Closures

Abstract

In January 1990, we began our audit of DoD Base Realignment and Closures. The audit objectives included determining whether the need for base realignment construction was adequately supported. Base realignment projects estimated to cost about $53 million at the Naval Station Pearl Harbor, HI are not needed. On November 26, 1990, the Deputy Secretary of Defense signed Program Budget Decision No. 011 to deactivate the Navy's two remaining battleships. Work continues, however, on contracts recently awarded for new facilities at the Naval Station Pearl Harbor to homeport the battleship USS Missouri, and additional contracts are pending award. Immediate management action is needed to cancel construction projects that are no longer supported by realignment actions, and to ensure that the DoD Base Closure Account is charged only for expenditures actually related to base realignment.
