  • GAO-16-466R, Military Readiness
    441 G St. N.W. Washington, DC 20548 May 2, 2016 Congressional Committees Military Readiness: Progress and Challenges in Implementing the Navy's Optimized Fleet Response Plan To meet heavy operational demands over the past decade, the Navy has increased ship deployment lengths and has reduced or deferred ship maintenance. These decisions have reduced the predictability of ship deployments for sailors and for the ship repair industrial base. They have also resulted in declining ship conditions across the fleet, and have increased the amount of time that ships require to complete maintenance in the shipyards. Increased maintenance periods, in turn, compress the time during which ships are available for training and operations, referred to as employability. To address these issues, the Navy began implementing a revised operational schedule in November 2014, referred to as the Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP). The OFRP seeks to maximize employability while preserving maintenance and training with continuity in ship leadership and carrier strike group assignments, and restoring operational and personnel tempos to acceptable levels. House Report 114-102, accompanying a bill for the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016, included a provision that GAO review matters related to the Navy Optimized Fleet Response Plan.1 This report describes: (1) the extent of maintenance overruns and their impact on the Navy; (2) the Navy’s goals and progress in implementing the OFRP; and (3) challenges faced by public and private shipyards supporting the implementation of the OFRP. House Report 114-102 also included a provision that GAO review matters related to the Navy’s security procedures at shipyards.2 This report also describes Navy and industry officials’ perspectives on the impact that Navy installation and personnel security protocols, procedures, and policies have on the ability of contractor personnel to support Navy sustainment.
