Summary:

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined the implementation of resource allocation provisions of the Department of Defense (DOD) Reorganization Act.

GAO found that: (1) DOD has increased the combatant commander's influence in the resource allocation process; (2) the joint strategic planning system enables the Chairman to advise the Secretary of Defense on military deficiencies identified by combatant commanders; (3) DOD has not updated its directive and instruction on the planning, programming, and budgeting system; (4) DOD did not submit a separate budget for the combatant commanders' activities because it believed the commanders had adequate influence in the resource allocation process; (5) DOD also believed that it was not specifically required to submit a separate budget; (6) combatant commanders opposed the idea of a separate budget proposal for their activities; and (7) DOD has set aside $50 million for combatant commanders.
