BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Defense Needs Better System For

Assuring Adequate Security

At Reasonable Cost On U.S. Bases



The Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for
Policy Review has authority and responsibility
to establish security policy for all military
assets, but except for a few sensitive assets,
Defense has not taken an active role in man-                    114532
aging security programs. The services and
local commands design their own security
programs to protect all other assets. In view
of the enormous cost of protection and the
many independent approaches being taken,
an established management system within
Defense or among the services is needed.

Although Defense planned to address specific
security problems identified by GAO, it did
not agree with GAO's proposals for strength-
ening its role in managing security programs.
Instead, Defense prefers to continue its incre-
mental approach of providing guidance and of
monitoring for a few highly sensitive assets.
