GAO: DOD’s Readiness Rebuilding Efforts May Be at Risk without a Comprehensive Plan

September 1, 2016

Pursuit's Take

This report (1) describes the factors that affect reported readiness levels and DOD’s efforts to manage the impact of deployments on readiness, and (2) assesses DOD’s implementation and oversight of department-wide readiness rebuilding efforts. This report is a public version of a previously issued classified product and omits information DOD identified as SECRET, which must be protected from public disclosure.

GAO analyzed and reviewed data on reported readiness rates and departmental readiness rebuilding efforts. GAO interviewed DOD, Joint Staff, and combatant command officials regarding current demand and readiness rates and challenges with rebuilding military readiness. GAO also conducted separate reviews of the readiness of the military services.
