Backlog of Maintenance and Repair (BMAR): the Navy's Approach to Funding

摘要

Recent concern within Congress and the Department of Defense over the growing Backlog of Maintenance and Repair (BMAR) of military real property, has encouraged the search, within the armed services, for a more effective approach to reducing the BMAR level. Within the Navy, the problem was seen as a resource allocation problem, rather than a technical deficiency in maintenance procedures. The solution, therefore, has centered around the line officer, who controls the programming of funds rather than the facilities engineer. (Author)
