The Defense Department tracks the locations of its combat vehicles supplies and spare parts around the world. A new GAO report says DoD could do more to get an accurate picture of its prepositioning programs for these supplies.
- Cary Russell, Director of Defense Capabilities and Management Issues at GAO, said his team found there were significant shortages in some of the stocks maintained, but the Department is taking steps to address them.
- He said a joint oversight management approach is needed, and while DoD is making great strides towards this, GAO found a gap in the ability to have a common view of the status of all prepositioning equipment across the globe.
