Priority Open Recommendations: Department of Defense
What GAO Found In May 2025, GAO identified 79 priority recommendations for the Department of Defense. Since then, the Department has implemented 17 of those recommendations. In June 2026, GAO identified an additional seven priority recommendations and removed the priority designation from 16 recommendations, bringing the total to 53 priority recommendations. GAO is highlighting the following three areas that warrant timely and focused attention: Sustaining U.S. military readiness, Ensuring weapon system acquisition and modernization, and Improving financial and fraud risk management. Addressing GAO's recommendations in these areas would support combat readiness by maintaining the Department.
