In that report, we made recommendations to the Secretary of Defense to provide greater visibility of the projected spending and future investments for DOD's efforts to create the New Triad and acquire future capabilities. On April 28, 2005, we provided DOD with a draft of that report for review and comment. DOD did not provide comments in time to incorporate them in that report, which went to printing on June 24, 2005. DOD provided its comments to us on June 30, 2005. To present DOD's comments and provide our perspective on them, this report briefly summarizes our June 2005 report's objectives, results, and recommendations, along with DOD's comments and our evaluation of the comments. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-962R/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-962R.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-962R/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-962R.pdf GAO-05-962R https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-962R Correspondence GAO-05-962R; Military Transformation: Actions Needed by DOD to More Clearly Identify New Triad Spending and Develop a Long-term Investment Approach; Defense capabilities Defense procurement Future budget projections Defense cost control Strategic planning Program evaluation Policy evaluation Strategic forces DOD Future Years Defense Program
