The Department of Defense is working to ensure that the requirements determination process results in accurate numbers and types of munitions necessary to defeat threats as specified in the Defense Planning Guidance. While the Department has made progress and has identified specific areas still requiring attention, there is no clear plan with time frames for resolving key issues. Some of these issues have only been partially completed and others are in the early stages of evolution. Specifically, target templates have not been completed and munitions effectiveness data has not been updated, nor have decisions been made regarding more detailed warfighting scenarios and the ranking of scenarios. Consequently, the reliability of the services' munitions requirements remain uncertain and could adversely affect munitions planning, programming, budgeting, and industrial production base decisions. Until these issues are resolved and a revised Capabilities-Based Management Requirements instruction is issued, the accuracy of the munitions requirements will remain uncertain. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-18/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-18.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-18/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-18.pdf GAO-01-18 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-18 Other Written Product GAO-01-18; Defense Logistics: Unfinished Actions Limit Reliability of the Munition Requirements Determination Process; Defense budgets Defense contingency planning Defense procurement Logistics Munitions Procurement planning Reporting requirements
