Report No. NSIAD-93-296
Subject
Summary:

Most items in the military services' $1.1 billion fiscal year 1994 request for ammunition and the Army's $207 million request for production base support are justified. In GAO's view, however, nearly $198 million of this request is not justified and should not be funded. Further, nearly $64 million from the services' fiscal year 1993 appropriations and about $55 million from the services' fiscal year 1992 appropriations are no longer needed for the ammunition for which the funds were appropriated. These amounts could be rescinded or used to cut the fiscal year 1994 budget. In addition, the Air Force might not need the $26.5 million that it requested for fiscal year 1994 for 30-mm training cartridges.
