Background -- Military services do not reliably assess barracks conditions, and some living conditions are substandard -- DOD does not sufficiently assess the effects of barracks conditions on quality of life and readiness -- DOD does not track or use complete or consistent information when making resource decisions related to barracks -- Military services have not reevaluated policies related to barracks housing programs -- OSD does not conduct sufficient oversight of barracks housing programs or facilitate collaboration -- Conclusions -- Recommendations for executive action -- Agency comments and our evaluation -- Appendices. |
| Summary |
DOD houses hundreds of thousands of service members in military barracks. Reports of poor conditions have raised questions about DOD's management of barracks. This report examines, among other things, the extent to which DOD has (1) reliably assessed barracks conditions, (2) made informed decisions on barracks funding, and (3) conducted oversight to improve barracks. GAO is making 31 recommendations for DOD, including the military departments, to, among other things, provide guidance on barracks condition assessments, obtain complete funding information, and increase oversight of barracks programs. |
