摘要

This report is one in a series that discusses the process used to determine requirements to support the construction of new unaccompanied enlisted personnel housing (barracks). The Secretary of Defense has established a new standard design criterion for future barracks construction. The Military Departments have estimated a cost of $15.4. billion to replace existing barracks over a 30-year period to meet new standards. In FY 1997, Naval Station San Diego, California, reported a total requirement of 5,479 barracks spaces, including 3,118 barracks spaces under military control, 583 private housing assets, and a deficit of 1,778 barracks spaces. The overall audit objective was to determine the validity of requirements estimated for DoD unaccompanied personnel housing. This report provides the results of the audit of unaccompanied enlisted personnel housing requirements for Naval Station San Diego, California. Naval Facilities Engineering Command underestimated Naval Station San Diego's requirement for permanent party enlisted barracks by 153 barracks spaces. As a result, future construction costs for Naval Station San Diego have been understated by $23.7 million for their barracks replacement program.
