The Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle: Over Budget, Behind Schedule, and Unreliable

House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
Abstract
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform produced this report scrutinizing the mismanagement of major weapons acquisition programs by the Department of Defense, with a focus on the Marine Corps’ Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV). The EFV faced severe issues during the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) phase, resulting in a cost increase of nearly $1 billion and a delay of 8 years. Mistakes by Marine Corps officials and the prime contractor, General Dynamics, led to significant setbacks, causing the Defense Department to repeat the SDD phase.
