Summary:

GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) budget to determine how it is planned and how resources are expended.

GAO found that the growth of the defense budget continues at an unprecedented pace. The amount of money appropriated for fiscal year 1983 is 69 percent larger than the 1980 defense budget. GAO believes that the services are generally spending as they planned, but that the budget can be improved by building in more accountability. GAO also found that some problems identified last year remain unresolved.
