Abstract

This report addresses the major performance and accountability challenges facing the Department of Defense (DOD) as it seeks to support and defend the Constitution of the United States; provide for the common defense of the nation, its citizens, and its allies; and protect and advance U.S. interests around the world. It includes a summary of actions that DOD has taken and that are under way to address these challenges. It also outlines further actions that GAO believes are needed. This analysis should help the new Congress and administration carry out their responsibilities and improve government for the benefit of the American people.
