The U.S. military relies on the defense industrial base (DIB) to meet requirements to fulfill the National Military Strategy. The potential destruction, incapacitation, or exploitation of critical DIB assets by attack, crime, technological failure, natural disaster, or man-made catastrophe could jeopardize the success of U.S. military operations. GAO was asked to review the Department of Defense's (DOD) Defense Critical Infrastructure Program and has already reported that DOD has not developed a comprehensive management plan for its implementation. This, the second GAO report, has (1) determined the status of DOD's efforts to develop and implement a risk management approach to ensure the availability of DIB assets, and (2) identified challenges DOD faces in its approach to risk management. GAO analyzed plans, guidance, and other documents on identifying, prioritizing, and assessing critical domestic and foreign DIB assets and held discussions with DOD and contractor officials. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1077/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1077.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1077/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1077.pdf GAO-07-1077 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1077 Other Written Product GAO-07-1077; Defense Infrastructure: Management Actions Needed to Ensure Effectiveness of DOD's Risk Management Approach for the Defense Industrial Base; Critical infrastructure protection Defense industry Defense procurement Department of Defense contractors Military procurement Risk assessment Risk management Strategic planning Program implementation Defense Critical Infrastructure Program Title 5 Section 552 5 U.S.C. 552 Public Law 107-296
