Gao ID: IAP-95-3 March 1, 1995

GAO provided information on its Military Operations and Capabilities issue area plan, focusing on: (1) the Department of Defense's (DOD) military planning activities; (2) DOD budgeting for its operation and maintenance account; (3) the capability, performance, readiness, and viability of military forces and weapon systems; and (4) the effectiveness of DOD efforts to maintain a quality force.
