The Army also plans to spend $70 billion through fiscal year 2013 to expand the force by 74,200 military personnel. Congress mandated that GAO report annually through fiscal year 2012 on the Army's modular force. For this report, GAO assessed to what extent the Army has (1) implemented and established management controls for its modular force and force expansion initiatives, and (2) assessed its modular unit designs. GAO assessed Army plans and funding requests; visited brigades that were reorganizing; and examined key Army planning documents, performance metrics, and testing plans. Both brigade combat teams and support brigades were visited, including units from the active component Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-145/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-145.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-145/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-145.pdf GAO-08-145 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-145 Other Written Product GAO-08-145; Force Structure: Better Management Controls Are Needed to Oversee the Army's Modular Force and Expansion Initiatives and Improve Accountability for Results; Accountability Army modularity Cost analysis Force planning Force structure Funds management Internal controls Lessons learned Program evaluation Program management Reporting requirements Strategic planning Program goals or objectives Program implementation Transparency Public Law 109-364
