Summary:

The Defense Department's (DOD) 600 million cubic feet of warehouse space make DOD the world's largest inventory manager. Although DOD has substantially cut the number of its storage depots and the inventory stored there--ranging from medical supplies to clothing to spare parts--it could reduce inventory levels still further, particularly among deteriorated or obsolete items. DOD should focus on getting rid of unneeded items that take up a lot of space and involve more than 20 years' supply on hand. This report determines (1) the size of DOD's secondary inventory, (2) the amount of space occupied by secondary inventory that DOD does not need to satisfy current war reserve and operating requirements, (3) the cost of storing this inventory, and (4) the time it will take to use it.
