Defense Management: DOD Needs to Review Its Defense Agencies and Field Activities for Efficiency and Effectiveness , September 3 , 2026
From the report: "Defense agencies and field activities are organizations within DOD that are established to provide critical supplies and services on a department-wide basis. However, DOD hasn’t regularly reviewed and reported on the efficiency and effectiveness of these organizations, as required by law.
We found that DOD has only reviewed 4 of the 27 organizations since 2018 and didn’t report the results to Congress. DOD also hasn't defined efficiency and effectiveness in formal guidance for these reviews. Additionally, we found overlap in some organizations' training programs."
