To enhance DOD's ability to improve the supply distribution system, GAO recommends that the Secretary of Defense: (1) clarify the responsibilities, accountability, and authority between the DPO and Defense Logistics Executive; (2) issue a directive to institute these clarifications; (3) direct that improvements be made in DOD's logistics transformation strategy; and (4) address underfunding of new communications and tracking systems. DOD disagreed with the first two recommendations and agreed with the latter two.
