Because of the potential for equipment reset costs to affect the Department of Defense's (DOD) future budget requirements and related readiness concerns, GAO initiated this review under the Comptroller General's authority. GAO's objectives were to determine the extent to which the Army and Marine Corps (1) track and report equipment reset expenditures in a way that confirms that funds appropriated for reset are expended for that purpose and (2) can be assured that their reset strategies will sustain equipment availability while meeting ongoing operational requirements. GAO reviewed equipment reset policies and analyzed related budget data. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-814/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-814.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-814/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-814.pdf GAO-07-814 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-814 Other Written Product GAO-07-814; Defense Logistics: Army and Marine Corps Cannot Be Assured That Equipment Reset Strategies Will Sustain Equipment Availability While Meeting Ongoing Operational Requirements; Appropriated funds Army procurement Combat readiness Defense budgets Defense procurement Equipment maintenance Financial management Logistics Military budgets Military forces Military materiel Military procurement Program evaluation Reporting requirements Strategic planning Program goals or objectives Program implementation Afghanistan Iraq Public Law 109-289 Public Law 109-364
