Book excerpt: This report determined whether the Logistics Modernization Program system (LMP) was compliant with the U.S. Government Standard General Ledger (USSGL) at the transaction level. The overall objective was to determine whether internal controls over Army Working Capital Fund (AWCF) accounting transactions originating in the LMP were adequate. Specifically, the auditors determined whether LMP properly supported accounting transactions with verifiable audit trails and recorded transactions as required by the USSGL. Additionally, they planned to determine the reasons for any abnormal balances reported in the general ledger account codes. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find report.

Book excerpt: In February 1998, the Army Materiel Command began the Logistics Modernization Program (LMP) to replace its existing material management systems -- the Commodity Command Standard System and the Standard Depot System. These systems have been in operation for more than 30 years. LMP is intended to transform logistics operations in six core processes: order fulfillment, demand and supply planning, procurement, asset management, material management, and financial management. When fully implemented, LMP is expected to manage goods and services valued at about $40 billion, including 6 million Army inventory items. GAO has previously reported on problems the Army has encountered in its efforts to implement LMP. The specific problems related to data conversion errors that resulted in LMP containing inaccurate unit prices or units of issue for certain materials, billing and collection errors whereby some customers were not billed for costs that should have been included in their bills and other customers were overbilled, requirements management and testing process did not comply with best practices, and a lack of an independent verification and validation process. Our objectives were as follows: 1. Determine the extent to which the Army's report addressed the nine specific areas identified in the House committee report. 2. Ascertain the specific actions the Army has taken, has under way, or has planned to address GAO's prior recommendations pertaining to the Army's implementation of LMP. 3. Evaluate the management processes and controls that the Army established to assess the feasibility of future LMP deployments. The Army has begun to implement virtually all of GAO's prior recommendations related to LMP to address issues related to data conversion, billing and collection, requirements management and testing, and independent verification and validation. The effective implementation of these recommendations should help the Army to reduce its risk to acceptable levels.

Book excerpt: The Logistics Modernization Program (LMP) is an Army business system that is intended to replace the aging Army systems that manage inventory and depot repair operations. From 1999 through 2009, the Army expended more than $1 billion for LMP. LMP was originally scheduled to be completed by 2005, but after the first deployment in July 2003, the Army delayed fielding because of significant problems. The Army later decided to field the system in two additional deployments: the second in May 2009 and the third in October 2010. GAO was asked to evaluate the extent to which the Army will achieve the intended functionality (e.g., supply chain management and materiel maintenance) from LMP for the commands, depots, and arsenals participating in the third deployment. To do this, GAO reviewed Army plans and policies related to LMP and met with Army officials at three Army commands and several third deployment sites.

Book excerpt: The mission of the United States Army is to fight and win our nation's wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across the full range of military operations and spectrum of conflict in support of combatant commanders. Accomplishing this mission rests on the ability of the Army to equip and move its forces to the battle and sustain them while they are engaged. Logistics provides the backbone for Army combat operations. Without fuel, ammunition, rations, and other supplies, the Army would grind to a halt. The U.S. military must be prepared to fight anywhere on the globe and, in an era of coalition warfare, to logistically support its allies. While aircraft can move large amounts of supplies, the vast majority must be carried on ocean going vessels and unloaded at ports that may be at a great distance from the battlefield. As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have shown, the costs of convoying vast quantities of supplies is tallied not only in economic terms but also in terms of lives lost in the movement of the materiel. As the ability of potential enemies to interdict movement to the battlefield and interdict movements in the battlespace increases, the challenge of logistics grows even larger. No matter how the nature of battle develops, logistics will remain a key factor. Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations explores Army logistics in a global, complex environment that includes the increasing use of antiaccess and area-denial tactics and technologies by potential adversaries. This report describes new technologies and systems that would reduce the demand for logistics and meet the demand at the point of need, make maintenance more efficient, improve inter- and intratheater mobility, and improve near-real-time, in-transit visibility. Force Multiplying Technologies also explores options for the Army to operate with the other services and improve its support of Special Operations Forces. This report provides a logistics-centric research and development investment strategy and illustrative examples of how improved logistics could look in the future.

Book excerpt: The Logistics Modernization Program (LMP) is an Army business system that is intended to replace the aging Army systems that manage inventory and depot repair operations. Through 2009, the Army obligated more than $1 billion for LMP. LMP was originally scheduled to be completed by 2005, but after the first deployment in July 2003, the Army delayed fielding because of significant problems. The Army has since decided to field the system in two additional deployments: the second deployment occurred in May 2009, and the third deployment is scheduled to occur in October 2010. GAO was asked to evaluate the effectiveness of the Army's management processes in enabling the second deployment sites to realize the full benefits of LMP. In order to improve the third deployment of LMP, GAO is recommending that the Secretary of the Army direct the Commanding General, Army Materiel Command, to (1) improve testing activities to obtain reasonable assurance that the data used by LMP can support the LMP processes, (2) improve training for LMP users, and (3) establish performance metrics to enable the Army to assess whether the deployment sites are able to use LMP as intended. The Army concurred with our recommendations.
