Summary:

GAO reviewed operation and maintenance accounts in the Army's fiscal year 1993 budget request. These accounts involved funding for real property maintenance, ground operating tempo, flying hours, operation and equipment storage sites, and individual training. GAO identified a potential reduction of about $523.1 million. In addition, GAO found that the Army has $570 million of unneeded inventory on order at the wholesale level. Because these inventories are bought with revolving funds and not operation and maintenance funds, GAO does not include the $570 million as a potential budget reduction. Nevertheless, the magnitude of the unneeded inventories is an indication that too much funding is made available to buy spare and repair parts.
