Summary:

In recent years, the Defense Department (DOD) has been working to reduce its infrastructure and support costs. The Defense Reform Initiative, announced in November 1997, is the military's latest effort to achieve this goal. DOD is relying on the initiative to make its organization and business practices more agile and responsive. DOD also hopes that the initiative will be a significant source of savings that can be used for weapon systems modernization. This report evaluates DOD's attempts to implement the initiative. GAO assesses (1) steps taken through the initiative's management structure to facilitate achieving the program's objectives and (2) DOD's progress in implementing specific reform initiatives.
