| Summary: | The Army is responsible for procuring and producing certain types of ammunition for all the military services. The Army procures most of this ammunition from five government- owned, contractor-operated plants, which, according to the Army, reduces its role in the production process to one of management. The Army also retains a significant capacity for ammunition production that can withstand fluctuations in demand. This report addresses the Army's relationships and challenges related to government-owned, contractor-operated ammunition plants, among other issues. GAO is making two recommendations to the Army, including that it revise the documents governing management of the procurement and production of ammunition at government-owned, contractor-operated plants to clarify roles and responsibilities. |
