on February 23, 1977, the Secretary of the Navy
approved the establishment of the Naval Aviaticn Logistics
Center at the Naval Air Staticn in Patuzect River, Maryiand.
This facility would consolidate depct management and logistics
support functions located in San Diego, California; Norfolk,
Virginia; Washington, D.C.; and Patuxent River, Maryland.
Findings/Conclusions: The Navy estimated that the planned
establishment of the Logistics Center would result in one-time
costs of about $3.3 million and attributed no savinas to the
planned realinement. GAO estimated the one-time cost of the
realinement at about $6.8 aillion, including military and
civijlian relocatiun, recruitment of new staff, severance pay,
equipmeDt purchase, facility construction and repair, and
renovation cf temporary facilities. The Navy planned
,'onstruction on two buildings at Patuxent River and repair work
on a third building which was later reclassified as minor
construction. The use of minor military ccnstruction funds to
finance building modifications would be inapprc-riate and
contrary to the intent of the military Construction
Authorization Act. Recommendations: The Secretary of Defense
should direct the Secretary of the Navy to submit a single
project to the appropriate congressional committees for reviei
and approval of all construction work for the establishment ox
the Naval Aviation Logistics Center. (RES)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaawjy0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
