Defense Budget: Potential Reductions to the Army and Navy Missile Programs

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed three military services' fiscal year (FY) 1991 budget requests, focusing on: (1) the Army's justification for its $2.7-billion request for 13 missile systems; (2) the Marine Corps' $10.1-million request to procure missiles; (3) the Navy's $42.1-million request to procure missiles; and (4) whether unused funds could be rescinded.
