Cavazos Commanding General U.S. Army Forces Command 120630 Fort McPherson, Georgia 30330 Subject: Planning for Mobilization Facilities Needs Can be Improved Through Increased Staff Continuity and Authority. (GAO/PLRD-83-39) Dear General Cavazos: The General Accounting Office has surveyed the Department of the Army's process for determining facility needs associated with mobilization. The work was performed at Headquarters, Department of the Army, U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) Headquarters, Fort McPherson, Georgia, and Fort Stewart, Georgia. Additional work was performed at the Department of the Army, Office of the Chief of Engineers in Washington, D.C.; the South Atlantic Division of the Corps of Engineers in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Savannah District office of the Corps of Engineers in Savannah, Georgia. Since the Corps of Engineers, at the time of our work, antici- pated completion of master mobilization plans for each of the Army's mobilization stations by October 1983, we have concluded that further review of facility planning for mobilization is not warranted at this time. While we plan no detailed review and further reporting, we have two observations based on our survey work at Fort Stewart that we believe warrant your attention. These observations relate to (1) the lack of continuity of officials responsible for maintaining the facilities portion of Fort Stewart's mobilization plan and (2) the limited authority of officials at Fort Stewart to properly develop and coordinate the preparation of the mobilization plan. Lack of Continuity The Fort Stewart Mobilization Plan is composed of numerous functional sections of which Annex N addresses the programming of materials, facilities and engineer personnel necessary for the physical expansion of facilities to receive, house, and train an expanding force under mobilization conditions. The Directorate of Engineering and Housing at Fort Stewart is the installation's component responsible for maintaining Annex N. (945822)
