In 2001, the program underwent a major reorganization. Following a decade long trend of missed schedule milestones, in September 2001, the Department of Defense (DOD) revised the schedule, which extended planned milestones and increased program cost estimates beyond the 1998 estimate of $15 billion to $24 billion. GAO was asked to (1) examine the effect that recent organization changes have had on program performance and (2) assess the progress DOD and the Army have made in meeting the revised 2001 cost and schedule and Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) deadlines. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-1031/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-1031.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-1031/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-1031.pdf GAO-03-1031 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-1031 Other Written Product GAO-03-1031; Chemical Weapons: Sustained Leadership, Along With Key Strategic Management Tools, Is Needed to Guide DOD's Destruction Program; Chemical and biological agents Chemical warfare International agreements Program evaluation Program management Schedule slippages Cost overruns Chemical Weapons Convention DOD Chemical Demilitarization Program Public Law 99-145 Public Law 105-277
