Department of Defense Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, Modernization, and Demolition

The Department of Defense (DoD) Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization Program keeps DoD's facilities in good working order. It also repairs aging or damaged facilities and alters existing facilities to meet new needs.

Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Adequate

This rating describes a program that needs to set more ambitious goals, achieve better results, improve accountability or strengthen its management practices.
  • DoD has developed a long-term strategic plan to manage its facilities. The plan will help improve its business practices, by incorporating performance measurements and life-cycle cost analyses in business decision-making.
  • The program is decentralized, which has allowed military services to deviate from the strategic management plan. Higher priority defense requirements have caused program managers to use funds intended for maintenance of facilities for other programs.
  • A key performance measure, readiness of existing facilities to meet mission requirements, uses subjective assessments and can yield inconsistent results.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Improving program management; including placing renewed emphasis on facility maintenance, and on using performance measurements to improve accountability.
  • Using a new facilities condition metric that provides an objective indication of facility readiness. This metric should be in use across the entire Department by 2008.
  • Eliminating excess facilities through the Base Closure and Realignment process.
