A very big issue is redirected funds.

My agency has had millions redirected from it by higher headquarters. Then when given spending deadlines, “hey, you have until the end of the day today to find a way to spend $300,000.” and it leads to poor spending due to recommendations not going thru study.

Unfortunately big Army loses visibility on the money once it gets over here. They can’t see how it’s actually being directed.

Should be criminal.

QFT. Use it or lose it. My father used to work for the National Guard in the Pentagon (he was active duty National Guard) and he would tell stories about Guard units having to find something to spend money on in a couple of days or have their budgets cut in half for the next year.

Then, just a month or so later, they'd get told that their vehicle maintenance budget was mostly being reallocated to something else and... well... good luck keeping the trucks rolling!
