The Army is transforming while engaged in the Global War on Terrorism and developing other high-cost capabilities. This prompted congressional concern about the affordability of Army plans. Thus, under the Comptroller General's statutory authority, GAO examined the Army's restructuring. This report addresses (1) the extent of change in costs and areas of uncertainty that could affect those costs, (2) the Army's plan for funding modularity and factors that may affect affordability, and (3) whether the Army has an adequate approach to track modularity obligations. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-926/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-926.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-926/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-926.pdf GAO-05-926 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-926 Other Written Product GAO-05-926; Force Structure: Actions Needed to Improve Estimates and Oversight of Costs for Transforming Army to a Modular Force; Cost analysis Defense capabilities Federal agency reorganization Funds management Future budget projections Military cost control Military forces Military policies Policy evaluation Strategic planning Cost estimates Army Future Combat Systems Public Law 108-375
