Equipment Procurement for the National Guard and Reserve Forces
Abstract
The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs (Materiel and Facilities) requested an audit to determine whether the funds that Congress appropriated to the Reserve Components from FY 1996 through FY 2000 were being used as intended. This report addresses that request. Equipment procurements for the Reserve Components are funded either in the procurement appropriations of the Military Departments or in a separate National Guard and Reserve Equipment Appropriation. The Procurement Programs-Reserve Components exhibit is submitted with the biennial budget submission and is part of the Procurement Program's congressional budget justification package. The Procurement Programs-Reserve Components exhibit reflects the Active Component's estimate for those funds that will be used to procure and modify equipment for the Reserve Components. The Procurement Programs-Reserve Components exhibit also includes the projected quantities of new procurement items for the Reserve Component out of the Active Components Procurement Appropriations. Appropriated amounts for equipment procurement for the Reserve Components from FY 1996 through FY 2000 totaled $7.6 billion for 125 systems. We reviewed $4 billion representing 31 systems.
