REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES




Recommended Dollar Reductions To DOD's

Fiscal Year 1984 Ammunition Procurement

And Production Base Programs


The President's fiscal year 1984 Defense budget request
mciuded $4.3 bilion for ammunition items and $277.3
million for enhancing ammunition production facilities.

At the request of the Subcommittees on Defense of the
  House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, GAO
  reviewed the military services' requests for funds to
  purchase conventional ammunition and to modernize
  ammunition production facilities.

  GAO found that most ammunition items and production
  base projects were adequately justified. However, GAO
  concluded that funds should not be provided for some
  items and projects and recommends that the Committees
  (1) reduce the ammunition appropriation requests by
  $433.6 million and (2) reduce the Army's ammunition
  production base request by $100.8 million.

  In addition, the Committees should closely monitor the
  ammunition programs for the 155-mm. area denial artillery
  munitions, the 155-mm. remote antiarmor mines system,
  and Air Force bomb fuzes until problems are resolved.
