Zusammenfassung:	This research memorandum documents a study of several related issues in the Navy's military construction and base operating support programs. Construction-related topics include: (1) changes in the stock of capital facilities over time; (2) the role of, and need for, replacement/modernization construction; (3) economic evaluation of proposed capital investments; and (4) training in economic analysis for Navy facility planners and engineers. As for base operating support, the feasibility of full-scale development of quantitative measures of performance as a basis for improving the allocation of resources to these activities was examined; results indicated that such development was not feasible. The alternative of macro-level statistical modeling appears to offer considerably greater promise.
