During the past decade, the number of men and women in uniform has declined by 28 percent and the defense budget had dipped from $391 billion to $252 billion in constant 1995 dollars. However, DOD has not fully analyzed assumptions underlying its new force structure and some assumptions are questionable; role and functions of the military services have yet to be sorted out; and a substantial mismatch between programs and funding continues. DOD wastes billions of dollars each year because of long-standing inefficiencies in its day-to-day operations and because it has been slow to take advantage of opportunities to reform systems and processes, make further reductions in infrastructure, and cut costs. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-NSIAD-95-149/html/GAOREPORTS-T-NSIAD-95-149.htm GAO/T-NSIAD-95-149 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-NSIAD-95-149 Testimony GAO/T-NSIAD-95-149; Defense Programs and Spending: Need for Reforms; Financial management Defense economic analysis Base closures Base realignments Reductions in force Defense budgets Military personnel Defense procurement Inventory control systems Defense cost control Defense Business Operations Fund DOD Bottom-Up Review DOD Future Years Defense Program Seawolf Attack Submarine DOD Corporate Information Management Initiative CIM
