 <title>Defense Infrastructure: Factors Affecting U.S. Infrastructure Costs Overseas and the Development of Comprehensive Master Plans</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>Since the end of the Cold War, U.S. military overseas presence
has changed dramatically. The Department of Defense (DOD) has	 
been reexamining overseas basing requirements, and it expects to 
make a number of changes to provide greater flexibility for U.S. 
forces in Western Europe and Northeast Asia. Concerns over the	 
potential use of funds for what may soon be obsolete basing	 
projects prompted congressional action directing DOD to prepare  
and submit with next year&apos;s budget request comprehensive master  
plans for changing infrastructure requirements under each	 
overseas command. GAO was also directed to report on the	 
development and implementation of these plans. GAO completed an  
advance review to identify opportunities to make the plans more  
informative for Congress and DOD in their oversight		 
responsibilities. This report addresses: (1) the development of  
overseas regional commands&apos; comprehensive master plans, and (2)  
the factors affecting U.S. infrastructure costs overseas and the 
development and implementation of comprehensive master plans.</abstract>
