Strategies for Cost Cutting: Case Study of an Army and Air Force Petroleum Lab

Abstract

In view of the tightening of our military budget and increasing size of our deficit this SRP examines the feasibility of cost-cutting within our own services with emphasis upon the possibility of combining similar efforts among sister services in order to see whatever efficiencies can be gained through joint acquisition. This study examines two Petroleum Labs (Army-505th Quartermaster Fuels Laboratory and Air Force-Detachment 44 Aerospace Fuel Laboratory) located in Okinawa Japan.
