Summary:

GAO reviewed the Army's acquisition of a new ammunition supply vehicle--the Palletized Load System. Consisting of a truck trailer with a demountable cargo bed, the vehicle will be used to move ammunition to and from transfer points. The Army has reduced the vehicle's acquisition quantity to reflect the approved force structure reduction from 28 to 20 divisions. Yet the requirements are still predicated on outdated threat assumptions that envisioned warfare against the Soviet-Warsaw Pact in Central Europe. With regional conflicts now considered the more serious threat to the United States, requirements for the vehicle may decline further. While acquisition quantities for the vehicle have been adjusted to reflect approved force structure reductions, it includes 450 trucks, 30 trailers, and 2,480 demountable cargo beds costing $141 million for requirements that are inappropriate based on their planned use.
