Military Budget Plan Lets Army Navy and Air Force Cut Purchases
Assistant Defense Secretary Thomas D. Morris told Congress a new thrift program will trim costs by about 1.3 billion dollars. It reduces item variety from 526 to 235 types for tools and aims to standardize 1.468 million items across services within two years, saving hundreds of millions annually, including 100000 dollars yearly from a redesigned missile clip and 210 million from reduced spare parts ordering. The plan emphasizes buying only what is needed and avoiding overdesign and gold plating.
