Schuster Derek Stewart David R. Warren PHONE (202) 512-4300 MAILING ADDRESS U.S. General Accounting Office Defense Capabilities and Management Room 4039 441 G Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20548 DEFENSE CAPABILITIES AND MANAGEMENT Since the end of the cold war, the United States has emerged as the sole superpower, with military forces unchallenged in capability. Sustaining this force costs taxpayers about $300 billion annually, and charting a coursefor the future makeup and use of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps is a major issuefacing the Congress and the President. By conducting a wide range ofstudies on current and future defense issues, Defense Capabilities and Management (DCM) is leading GAO's efforts to assist the Department of Defense (DOD), the Congress, and the President as they undertake the challenges of defending the United States into the 21st century. DES o Our work provides timely analyses, recommendations, and policy options to congressional and executive branch officials on ways to improve the government's policies and programs in the following areas: defense planning and force structure, operations and readiness, diffuse threats, military and civilian personnel, logistics, defense infrastructure, and defense resources. The 230 analysts in Defense Capabilities and Management are responsible for planning and carrying out work at locations in the United States and around the world. For example, in the past year, DCM teams have been in the United Kingdom, Germany, Hungary, the Balkans, Korea, Guam, Hawaii, the Persian Gulf, and military installations across the continental United States. We work mainly on programs of the military services; DOD agencies; and federal agencies involved in counterterrorism response issues, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Our staff are located in Washington, D.C., and in several field offices across the country, with concentrations of staff in Los Angeles, Seattle, Atlanta, Norfolk, Dallas, and Dayton. We are particularly focused on helping the Congress determine an appropriate and ready force structure of people, weapons, and facilities for the post-Cold War period, understand the complexities of keeping forces ready while meeting commitments around the world, assess the effectiveness of federal agency programs to combat terrorism and respond to terrorist acts, evaluate DOD's efforts to recruit, retain, and create a quality of life that will maintain a highly skilled military and civilian workforce, A-- G A 0rl
