Recommendations for Executive Action
Agency Affected Sort descending | Recommendation | Status |
---|---|---|
Department of the Army | To provide decisionmakers within the Army with a detailed understanding of the impact the availability of Category 2 systems will have on other decisions, the Secretary of the Army should direct the preparation of an annual acquisition status report that identifies: (1) when each Category 2 system is expected to be fielded; and (2) alternative fielding strategies focused on the successful establishment of the first digitized corps by the end of 2004. |
The DOD official responsible for follow-up on GAO's reported recommendation stated that this recommendation has been implemented, and the office of the DOD Inspector General closed its case files on this assignment in March 2001.
