Summary
This report is a compilation of recommendations made in recent years by many boards, commissions and study groups that have proposed efficiencies in how the U.S. Department of Defense spends money. If implemented fully, the recommendations would save nearly $1 trillion over a decade, though it is virtually impossible they will all be adopted. The proposals face varying degrees of political opposition -- some intense -- and some recommendations are contradictory. The authors are not endorsing any of the specific options but, by compiling the proposals, have created a resource that frames the many calls for efficiencies, providing context that the broader debate on defense spending is currently missing
