Description:... The Department of Defense (DOD) manages nearly $70 billion of conventional ammunition -- which includes many types of items other than nuclear and special weapons -- at eight Army depots. The military services use automated information systems to manage their inventory. They also compile annual reports that compare ammunition inventory levels against stated requirements. This report evaluated DOD's management of conventional ammunition. It addresses the extent to which (1) the services' information systems facilitate efficient management of the conventional ammunition inventory; and (2) the services collect and share inventory data to help them meet their stated requirements. Table and figures. This is a print on demand report.
