| Summary |
In fiscal year 2022, the command made about $79.6 million available for program activities and maintained over 800 service providers across 32 locations worldwide to care for special operations forces and their families. However, since January 2016, the command has not completed a program evaluation demonstrating program performance and effectiveness. GAO evaluated the extent to which the command has 1) identified program performance goals and measures and 2) collected and analyzed data to determine how well the program is achieving desired outcomes. GAO is making three recommendations, including that the command establish specific and measurable performance goals, establish performance measures that are linked to strategic goals and are clearly stated, and develop a detailed program evaluation plan to support annual program reports. |
