Secretary: We haie completed our followup review of the Army's Base Operating System (BASOPS). This system was initiated in 196-, to provide a standard automated managemcnt information system for Class One-Arny installations throughout the conti- nental United States, Alaska, and Panama. It is intended to h~fl~l(I ivU' fur.,:Ttica a- -rsonnel , supply, aud financial During lQ71 the House Appropriations Committee, GAO, the i'_ Army, and your Office recoiilized that significant deficiencies existed in this ;ystemn. At that Lime 2A locations had BASOPS installed. In November 1971 the Comiittee recommended denial of funds for further deployment of this system during the re- mainder of fiscal year 1972. The Committee said that the Army and the Office of the Secretary of Defense were not adequately performing their review functions since systems such as BASOPS were being deployed before all k1nown deficiencies were cor- rected. The Committee charged your Office with the regpon- sibility of assuring that these deficiencies were resolved be- fore BASOPS was further deployed. We made our reviews to determine whether the problems noted in our previous reports and meetings with Army and Defense personnel were corrected as the Committee desired. We in- quired into the status of BASOPS at three Texas installations: Fort Hood, Fort Wolters, and Fort Sam Houston. We believed these locations were representative of the majority of BASOPS installations. We found that BASOPS had improved, but its deployment was resumed before correction of the previously identified problems. Some of the problems which continue to impair base operations are discussed below. EST ~~LLRT- F
