As requested, this report addresses (1) the historical funding trends for BOS as contrasted with funding for facilities sustainment, restoration and modernization (S/RM); (2) how effectively the Department of Defense (DOD) and the military services have been able to forecast BOS requirements and funding needs; and (3) how the Army's and Navy's reorganizations for managing installations have affected support services, and whether the Air Force and Marine Corps could benefit from similar reorganizations. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-556/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-556.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-556/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-556.pdf GAO-05-556 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-556 Other Written Product GAO-05-556; Defense Infrastructure: Issues Need to Be Addressed in Managing and Funding Base Operations and Facilities Support; Appropriated funds Defense appropriations Facility maintenance Facility management Interagency relations Military appropriations Military bases Military facilities Military forces Reprogramming of appropriated funds Budget obligations Defense capabilities Strategic planning United States Public Law 87 (108th Congress) Public Law 108-87
