Report To The Secretary Of The Army






The Direct Commissary Support System

Should Be Expanded To Include More Army

Commissaries In Europe



The Defense Logistics Agency's Direct Com-
missary Support System has proven to be an
effective and efficient means of providing
nonperishable, brand-name, resale subsistence
items to Army and Air Force commissaries
overseas. The system has eliminated the need
for maintaining large depot inventories over-
seas and has resulted in cost savings and other
benefits over the previous in-theater depot
system.
Notwithstanding the benefits of direct support,
17 Army commissaries in Europe continue to
receive support from an in-theater depot.

GAO believes more Army commissaries in Eu-
rope should be converted to direct support.
