        The Honorable Clifford L. Alexander, Jr.
        The Secretary of the Army

        Dear Mr. Secretary:

             Subject: Regulatio s On War Reserve Material 'ot
                      uj ollowedJ LCD-80-40)

             We recently completed a study of the use of secondary war
        reserve material to satisfy peacetime operating requirements.
46c_-   We made our study at the Army Troop Support and Aviation
'-C) 9i/ Materiel Readiness Command (TSARCOM). We identified three
        areas where regulations were not followed.

             --War reserve assets were used to fill low-priority,
               peacetime requisitions.

             --War reserve assets used to satisfy peacetime operating
               requirements were not replaced in a timely manner.

             --War reserve funds were used to supplement peacetime
               operating funds.

        WAR RESERVE ASSETS USED TO FILL LOW-
        PRIORITY, PEACETIME REQUISITIONS

             Contrary to regulations, over 25 percent of the peacetime
        requisitions filled with war reserve material were low priority.

             Various Defense, Army, and command regulations authorize
        using war reserve assets to satisfy urgent peacetime operating
        requirements, provided such use is minimized and stringently
        controlled. Army Regulation 710-1 and Army Materiel Development
        and Readiness Command (DARCOM) Regulation 710-3 provide that
        war reserve assets can only be used to fill high-pri ori4t, req-
        uisitions containing issue priority designators I thnrougn 8.

             When we began our study TSARCOM did not have summary
        data showing the extent that war reserve stocks were used to
