 <title>Defense Management: Comprehensive Strategy and Annual Reporting Are Needed to Measure Progress and Costs of DOD&apos;s Global Posture Restructuring</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>The Department of Defense&apos;s (DOD) Integrated Global Posture and
Basing Strategy calls for a comprehensive restructuring of U.S.  
forces overseas. DOD&apos;s planned changes will require billions of  
dollars to implement at a time when DOD is supporting operations 
in Iraq and realigning domestic bases. As requested, GAO examined
(1) the extent to which DOD has articulated a global posture	 
strategy that has the characteristics necessary to guide its	 
efforts and to achieve desired results and (2) the challenges	 
that could affect DOD&apos;s implementation of its strategy and the	 
mechanisms DOD has in place to inform Congress of its overall	 
progress in achieving global posture goals.</abstract>
