The Secretary of the Army                             11077

Dear Mr Secretary:

     Subject: Review of Management of Military
               Reserve Forces Facilities (LCD-80-19)

     During our review of Reserve Forces facilities, we
identified two situations involving leases for Army Reserve
centers which we believe warrant your early attention. The
facilities are located at Lawrenceville, Virginia, and Ox-
ford, North Carolina. These facilities will be covered,
along with others, in a report we are preparing f6r the
Chairman, Subcommittee on Military Installations and Facil-
ities, House Committee on Armed Services. We are advising
you of these two situations now because information we
obtained indicates that the leases should be canceled and
the proposed construction projects deleted from the Reserve
facilities' backlog. Details of the projects follow.

LAWRENCEVILLE, VIRGINIA

     The Reserve unit, for which the facility is being
leased, was formed at Fort Pickett, Virginia--about 25 miles
from Lawrenceville--in July 1978 and moved to Lawrenceville
in September 1979. Army officials stated that the unit was
moved because Lawrenceville was a better recruiting area.
In view of the following, we question that move.

     --Department of Defense. (DOD) Regulation 1225.5 speci-
       fies thatrkacilities will be provided only for Reserve
       Forces with approved mobilization missions. The
       Lawrenceville unit does not have such a mission.)

     --Title 10, chapter 133, United States Code, and DOD
       Instruction 1200.10 require that prior to the expend-
       iture of ,funds for Reserve Forces facilities, a deter-
       mination 'e made that the number of Reserve units
       located, or to be located, in an area is not and will
