Since 2000, the Congress has appropriated about $50 billion annually for the Navy to operate and maintain its forces and support around 376,000 military personnel. In recognizing that the Navy faces affordability issues in sustaining readiness within its historical share of the defense budget, the Chief of Naval Operations announced a concept called the Fleet Response Plan to enhance its deployment readiness status. The Fleet Response Plan is designed to more rapidly prepare and sustain readiness in ships and squadrons. GAO evaluated the extent to which the Navy has (1) employed a sound management approach in implementing the Fleet Response Plan and (2) tested and evaluated the effectiveness of the plan and shared results to improve implementation. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-84/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-84.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-84/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-84.pdf GAO-06-84 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-84 Other Written Product GAO-06-84; Military Readiness: Navy's Fleet Response Plan Would Benefit from a Comprehensive Management Approach and Rigorous Testing; Combat readiness Defense capabilities Defense contingency planning Internal controls Lessons learned Military forces Performance measures Program evaluation Strategic planning DOD Fleet Response Plan Public Law 103-62
