Challenges in Defense Environmental Program Management Gao ID: T-NSIAD-95-121 March 24, 1995

Managing the Defense Department's (DOD) environmental activities is a huge job. Since 1976, DOD has spent about $20 billion on environmental programs--$15 billion of this in fiscal years 1991-94. In its fiscal year 1995 budget request, DOD estimates that another $25 billion will be needed to fund its environmental activities through fiscal year 1999. This testimony discusses (1) the overall status of DOD's environmental program and (2) steps that need to be taken to bolster the success of the program.
