UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOU VG 0 ICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 2 48 LOGISTICS AND COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION B-133025 OO 8 191j The Honorable The Secretary of Defense LM096046 Dear Mr. Secretary: As a part of our continuing assessment of the effectiveness of military tr aspjortationssems., we reviewed the military arex-p cargo management functions of the Military Traffic Man-agement and Terminal Service (MTMTS) and the Shipper Service Control Offices (SSCOs) of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Military air export cargo is cargo originating inside the continental United States (CONUS) and terminating outside CONUS. During fiscal year 1973, the Military Airlift Command (MAC) airlifted over 177,000 short tons of such cargo. Each military department is unnecessarily duplicating MTMTS functions in varying degrees because it is reluctant to relinquish control over the movement of its cargo. We esti- mate that over $1.5 million annually can be saved by eliminat- ing duplicated efforts and by restricting management authority to a single agency. MTMTS DESIGNATED AS SINGLE MANAGER FOR MILITARY TRAFFIC In 1964 the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at the direction of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Installations and Logistics), appointed a study group to de- termine the most effective and economical means of organizing and operating the Department of Defense (DOD) air and ocean terminal system in CONUS. The study resulted in MTMTS' being designated in 1965 as the jointly staffed single-manager oper- ating agency for military cargo moving within CONUS. DOD assigned MTMTS those functions necessary to (1) elim- inate duplicated efforts, (2) improve effectiveness and economy of operations, and (3) meet emergency and wartime re- quirements. Air export cargo management functions assigned to MTMTS included: 7-O40r760qO6
