The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.

As you requested, we reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) May 1997 Report of the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), which directed the services to reduce the number of active, reserve, and civilian personnel. Specifically, our report discusses (1) the basis for the personnel cuts, (2) the services' plans to implement personnel cuts and achieve savings, (3) the extent that the services believe the cuts will impact their ability to execute the national military strategy, and (4) DOD'S plans to monitor the services' progress in implementing the cuts. We did not review planned cuts to the defense agencies. We are reporting separately on other aspects of the QDR, including DOD'S process and methodology for assessing force structure and modernization requirements and the implications of the QDR decisions on DOD'S Future Years Defense Program (FYDP).
