Recommendations
Recommendations for Executive Action
| Agency Affected | Recommendation | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Department of Defense | Consistent with the recommendation in GAO's report on the Army's Hunter pilot that the Secretary of Defense develop a comprehensive strategy for testing each of the approaches, the Secretary of Defense, in developing this strategy, should consider testing the Navy pilot and its unique features in conjunction with one or more of the other pilots. Doing so would test the Navy pilot in an environment that is more consistent with the changes being considered and likely to be implemented. |
In its response to this report, DOD stated that it concurred with the report and its recommendations. Specifically, DOD stated that, as part of its plan to develop a comprehensive strategy for evaluating each of the pilots, it would determine--in concert with the services--how best to incorporate the features of the Navy pilot into the other pilots. The Department has decided that the best approach is not to include the features of the Navy pilot into other pilots. Instead, the U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), which is responsible for overseeing the evaluation process and developing recommendations for a new Department-wide personal property program, will review the results of the Navy's June 1999 report on the SAM pilot (a test period including data from January 1998 and March 1999) as part of the USTRANSCOM review of the pilot programs and the current program. This approach is included in the May 5, 2000 evaluation plan.
