Subject
Summary:

Since the late 1940s, several studies have characterized the organizational structure of defense traffic management as costly and inefficient. Multiple agencies have been involved in defense traffic management, each with separate service and modal responsibilities. GAO reported in 1996 that the fragmentation and duplication inherent in this structure led to higher transportation costs for defense customers. (See GAO/NSIAD-96-60.) This report discusses the (1) Defense Department's (DOD) progress in reengineering defense transportation financial management processes, (2) challenges associated with implementing these reengineered processes agencywide, and (3) extent to which DOD is assessing the infrastructure required to support the reengineered processes.
