Summary:

Funding for EDI has supported a variety of military activities in Europe, including troop rotations, intelligence activities, and construction of projects such as airfields, ranges, and other military facilities. This report examines: (1) how, if at all, EDI has changed U.S. military posture in Europe; (2) DOD's efforts to define and report on its funding for EDI; and (3) the extent to which DOD uses performance information to evaluate EDI activities and justify dedicated resources. GAO is recommending that the Secretary of Defense ensure that the commander of the U.S. European Command, in collaboration with the heads of the military services, establishes performance goals and measures for EDI and its five lines of effort.

Contents:
