Army Plans To Realine

The Armament Community


Formation of the U.S. Army Armament De-
velopment Center and the Armament Lo-
gistics Command will consolidate the U.S.
Army Materiel Development and Readiness
Command armament field elements into two
organ izations--one with responsibility for
materiel developmnet, the other for logistics.

The realinement is part of a general reorga-
nizational change within the Army to improve
the Army's materiel acquisition process by
establishing mission-oriented development
and logistics centers.

The Army currently estimates the realinement
will cost about $75 million, and after com-
pletion of the realinement, the annual opera-
ting costs will decrease by about $42 million.
GAO believes the Army cost estimate is rea-
sonable, but the estimated annual operating-
cost reductions are overstated.
