Summary:

This is one in a series of GAO reports on the military's management of secondary inventory--spare and repair parts and other items that support the Defense Department's (DOD) operating forces on land, at sea, and in the air. During the past several years, GAO has repeatedly cited the management of defense inventory as a high-risk area. This report focuses on excess inventory that the Navy had on order. GAO discusses whether the Navy (1) had valid requirements to support inventory purchases, (2) had purchased items that exceeded needs and the causes of this condition, and (3) was canceling purchases that exceeded needs.
