Issue Area: Facilities and Material sanagesent (700). Contact: Logistics and Communications Div. Budget Function: National Defense: Department of Defense - military (except procurement 6 ccntracts) (051). Orqan-.zation Concerned: Department of the Azay: Eighth United States Army, U.3. Forces, Korea. Conqressional Relevance: House Coamittee on Armed Services; Senate Committee oai Armed Service.s. Authority: 31 U.S.C. 638a. Army Regulaticn 58-1. Ari.y Bogulation 700-88. in September 1977, there were about 2,900 vehicles used by the U.S. Forces in Korea to suppoit administrative operations. Excluding shipping costs, the estimated teplacement cost of these vehicles was about $23 millicn. Ihe 8th Army had 1,875 vehicles as of September 1977 %hich were operated 21 miliion miles at a cost of $3.9 illion, excluding driver and depreciation costs. Findings/Conclusions: The 8th Axmy~s vehicle 2anagement was ineffective because it had not followed prescribed manaqement ccntrols over use or adequately reviewed vehicle operations t- assure that all vehicles were needed and effectively used. The follcuing managereat weaknesses were ideatified: too many vehicles which contrituted to underese, vehicles assiqned and used inefficiently, sisuse of vehicles, public transportaticn not used when Foi.sible, and inadequate review of vehicle needs. The 8th Army could smwe ccsts ty reducing the number of vehicles to the minimum essential for transacting official business, consclidating motor pools where economically feasible, and improving vehicle operations and maintenance procedures. The U.S. Forces in Korea had not corrected deficiencies in motor vehicle operations which had been previously identified. Reccmmendaticns: The Secretary of Defense should determine why corrective action was not taken on previously reported management deficiencies and require lclowup audits to ensure that corrective acticn is taken. 1he Secretary of -the Army should: reduce the number of administrative-use vehicles to the lowest possible number consistent with mission accomplishment, study the feasibility of consclidAting motor pools in Korea ana direct their consolidation where econcsmcally feasible, aDd modify Army regulation= to require a tritten justification when a vehicle to be replaced was driven less than the Army's minimum qoal.
