Background -- MCCP-N is changing its equipment mix to address U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command requirements -- Marine Corps' cost estimates for funding MCPP-N's equipment sustainment may not be fully reliable -- Marine Corps reliance on the Norwegian system poses management challenges and data reliability risks, and quality assurance procedures do not include a review of the system -- Conclusions. |
| Summary |
"Marine Corps Prepositioning Program - Norway (MCPP-N) was established in 1981 as part of a DOD agreement to support the defense of Norway and global U.S. Marine Corps expeditionary operations. In 2012 the Marine Corps began transforming MCPP-N from an engineering and transportation capability to a Marine Air Ground Task Force capability, which includes combat vehicles and other tactical equipment, and it expects to complete the transformation in 2016. Senate Report 113-176 included a provision that GAO review MCPP-N. This report determines the extent to which (1) MCPP-N addresses U.S. European and U.S. Africa command requirements; (2) reliable cost estimates exist to fund MCPP-N's sustainment of equipment to support a Marine Air Ground Task Force capability; and (3) the Marine Corps has quality assurance procedures in place to monitor the management of MCPP-N. GAO reviewed agency guidance and plans, analyzed budget estimates, and interviewed Marine Corps, Department of State, and Norwegian Defence officials"--Preliminary page. |
