Consolidation of Naval Activities Providing Telephone Service-Atlantic Region

摘要

This report is the first in a series of reports resulting from our audit of the Consolidation of Naval Activities Providing Telephone Service. The Naval Activities Providing Telephone Service are now known as base communications offices. A subsequent report will discuss the audit results that apply to the Pacific Region. On April 25, 1991, the Naval Computer and Telecommunications Command, under the sponsorship of the Director, Space and Electronic Warfare, started actions to transfer the base communications offices from various naval commands to the Naval Computer and Telecommunications Command. The Navy objectives were to establish a dedicated Navy advocate for intrabase communications services and management and to develop a broad-based field organization to directly support Navy intrabase communications requirements. The initiative will support the Navy goal of establishing a single management center at the base level that will provide fully integrated information services in support of fleet and shore establishments. Objectives. The overall audit objective was to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the consolidation of base communications offices. Specifically, we evaluated the efficiency and effectiveness of the Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Atlantic (NCTAMS LANT) in consolidating the base communications offices in the Virginia Tidewater area. We also evaluated the NCTAMS LANT management control program as it related to the audit objective.
