Book excerpt: The concurrent implementation of several major Department of Defense (DOD) force structure and infrastructure initiatives has stressed the ability of traditional military construction to provide enough permanent living and working space for servicemembers and other DOD personnel. As a result, the services are using some movable-or relocatable-facilities as barracks, administrative offices, medical facilities, dining halls, and equipment maintenance facilities to meet short-term needs. In Senate Report 110-77, the Senate Committee on Armed Services directed GAO to review the subject. This report assesses the extent to which (1) the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) is providing oversight of the services' use of relocatable facilities to meet physical infrastructure needs, and (2) DOD has a strategy for managing such facilities. GAO assessed data reported to OSD on relocatable use and cost as well as visited seven defense installations selected from those identified as having a sizeable number of relocatable facilities. GAO is making recommendations to improve OSD's oversight and management of the services' use of

Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) reports data about the operational readiness of its forces. In 1999, Congress directed DOD to create a comprehensive readiness system with timely, objective, and accurate data. In response, DOD started to develop the Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS). After 7 years, DOD has incrementally fielded some capabilities, and, through fiscal year 2008, reported obligating about $96.5 million. GAO was asked to review the program including the extent that DOD has (1) effectively managed and overseen DRRS acquisition and deployment and (2) implemented features of DRRS consistent with legislative requirements and DOD guidance. GAO compared DRRS acquisition disciplines, such as requirements development, test management, and DRRS oversight activities, to DOD and related guidance, and reviewed the system's current and intended capabilities relative to legislative requirements and DOD guidance. We did not evaluate DOD's overall ability to assess force readiness or the extent that readiness data reflects capabilities, vulnerabilities, or performance issues. GAO is making recommendations to address the risks facing DOD in acquiring and developing DRRS and increase the chance of success. DOD agreed or partially agreed with three of our eight recommendations, and disagreed with the remaining five because it stated that it was already taking actions in these areas.

Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) consumes about 60 percent of all energy used at federal government facilities. To encourage an increased use of energy from renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, (1) the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the 2005 Act) directs DOD to consume at least 3 percent of its total electricity from renewable resources starting in fiscal year 2007; (2) Executive Order 13423 (the 2007 Executive Order) directs that an amount equal to half of the statutorily required renewable energy be generated by sources placed into service in 1999 or later; and (3) the 2007 Defense Authorization Act directed that at least 25 percent of electricity consumed by DOD come from renewable sources in fiscal year 2025. GAO was asked to examine (1) DOD's progress toward these three key goals for consuming renewable energy in fiscal years 2007 and 2008, (2) challenges to DOD meeting those goals, and (3) DOD's plans to meet the goals. GAO reviewed relevant laws and DOD and Department of Energy (DOE) policy, plans, and data; interviewed agency officials; and visited DOD facilities. GAO makes 5 recommendations to

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Why GAO Did This StudyDOD spends billions annually to maintain its weapon systems and, at times, uses long-term maintenance contracts with a potential period of performance of 5 years or more. These contracts can encourage contractors to invest in new facilities, equipment, and processes, but may hinder DOD's ability to incentivize contractors' performance and control costs, especially in the absence of a competitive environment or if DOD does not acquire access to technical data that can enable DOD to select an alternative maintenance provider.GAO was asked to evaluate (1) the extent to which DOD uses long-term maintenance contracts, (2) DOD's ability to select alternative maintenance providers, and (3) how these contracts have been structured to incentivize performance and manage cost. GAO reviewed a nongeneralizable sample of 10 long-term contracts to illustrate different maintenance approaches. GAO interviewed program officials and reviewed contract documentation. GAO also reviewed information on eight programs recently reviewed by DOD to determine how these programs addressed technical data needs.What GAO RecommendsGAO recommends that DOD collect information on the extent to which DOD uses long-term maintenance contracts and develop lessons learned regarding the use of incentives and cost-control tools. DOD concurred with each of the recommendations and"
