Media: Pentagon buries report of wasting $125b

An internal study found that the US Department of Defense wasted as much as $125 billion on bureaucracy, which is intentionally hidden away by top Pentagon officials, US media reported on Tuesday.

The Washington Post said in an exclusive report that the study found a way to cut back-office business operation cost by $125 billion over five years.

The study, named Transforming DoD's Core Business Process for Revolutionary Change, was conducted by the Defense Business Board, a federal advisory panel, and consultants from McKinsey. It was released in early 2015.
