Army Carbine Program May Waste $1.8 Billion, Report Finds
By Tony Capaccio & Danielle Ivory - Mar 19, 2013 9:15 AM ET ..

The Army risks wasting as much as $1.8 billion developing a replacement for the M4 carbine that it may not need, according to the Pentagon’s inspector general.

The carbine replacement program is one the Army and Pentagon “may want to re-evaluate,” as the service is “seeking to acquire more rifles during a time when their total force structure will be reduced,” Lynne Halbrooks, principal deputy inspector general, said in a statement to be delivered today to a House committee.
