A-76 Implementation and Implications for the U.S. Army

Abstract

Reduction of expenditures in base support coupled with effective business practices that attain quality facilities and services while supporting readiness are the goals of any installation commander, regardless of service. The A-76 process has been a strategy directed by the Executive Branch and Congress to support these goals. Although there have been substantial cost savings attributed to the A-76 process, its contribution to readiness, quality of life, and mission has not been established. key components of any reengineering action are to define goals, establish standards and metrics, and evaluate performance against those metrics. This paper explores the following: how A-76 has been implemented across Department of Defense (DOD) and within the Department of the Army (DA); metrics in place to evaluate performance of activities after implementation of A-76 results; the lessons learned; and implications for U.S. Army as it pursues A-76 goals. The methodology includes an examination of A-76 materials (Federal Mandate and DOD/DA guidance), presentation of A-76 results within DA, and review of independent studies of A-76 implementation.
