Book excerpt: This report discusses financial management and logistics management issues relating to the effectiveness and efficiency of the Department of Defense's (DOD) operations. Specifically, it will focus on the operations of DOD'S working capital funds, which collect and disburse over $65 billion annually, and on DOD'S management of the $13 billion depot maintenance program. It is important to note that these areas fall within defense financial management and infrastructure activities, 2 of the 24 areas we identified as high-risk areas within the federal government. These issues have significant impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of how DOD spends its operations and maintenance funds. DOD has consistently experienced losses in the operations of various working capital funds, including the depot maintenance activity group, and has had to request additional funding to support their operations. This issue has been an area of concern to this subcommittee and other congressional committees.
