Pentagon’s DOGE Unit to Scrutinize 400,000 Contracts for Cuts

The Pentagon has initiated a review of approximately 400,000 contracts and grants in an effort to identify potential areas for cost savings. The task has been assigned to the Department's internal DOGE (Diligent Oversight and Governance Evaluation) unit, which will closely scrutinize the contracts to determine where efficiencies can be achieved. This move is part of the Pentagon's broader initiative to streamline its operations and address budgetary concerns. The review will cover a wide range of contracts, including those related to procurement, services, and other areas of the Department's activities. The DOGE team will analyze the contracts to identify any redundancies, inefficiencies, or opportunities for cost reduction. The findings of the review will then be used to inform decision-making and guide the implementation of measures to optimize the Pentagon's spending and enhance its overall financial management.
