 <title>Defense Inventory: Improvements Needed in DOD&apos;s Implementation of Its Long-Term Strategy for Total Asset Visibility of Its Inventory</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>For more than 30 years, the Department of Defense (DOD) has
worked to achieve full visibility over and accessibility to its  
spare parts inventory. This initiative, called total asset	 
visibility (TAV), aims to provide timely, accurate information on
the location, movement, status, and identity of units, personnel,
equipment, and supplies. In 1999, GAO examined DOD&apos;s TAV	 
implementation approach and recommended that DOD develop a	 
strategic plan to guide its efforts. DOD did not concur and	 
stated it would rely on the components to individually achieve	 
TAV. DOD&apos;s current target to achieve TAV is 2010. As requested,  
GAO examined DOD&apos;s progress towards, and impediments to,	 
achieving TAV over its spare parts inventory. GAO also assessed  
DOD&apos;s progress in ensuring that its inventory management systems 
comply with federal financial management standards.</abstract>
