However, the Army's program has faced long-standing management challenges, including equipment excesses and shortfalls, invalid or poorly defined requirements, and maintenance problems. In Public Law 109-163, Congress required the Army to conduct an assessment of its prepositioning programs and required GAO to assess (1) whether the Army's report addressed the areas required by Congress, and (2) the major challenges the Army continues to face in its prepositioning program. GAO analyzed the Army's report and other information it obtained from the Joint Staff, the Army, and its subordinate commands to identify the issues affecting the Army's prepositioning program. GAO also visited prepositioned equipment sites in South Carolina, Europe, South Korea, and Kuwait. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-144/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-144.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-144/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-144.pdf GAO-07-144 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-144 Other Written Product GAO-07-144; Defense Logistics: Improved Oversight and Increased Coordination Needed to Ensure Viability of the Army's Prepositioning Strategy; Army facilities Combat readiness Defense capabilities Equipment maintenance Equipment management Facility management Intergovernmental relations Program evaluation Program management Reporting requirements Requirements definition Strategic planning Army supplies Public Law 109-163 Public Law 109-364 Public Law 109-369
