Dear Shareholder,

January 14, 2004

As you may know, the mutual fund industry recently has been the subject of much media attention. There has been press coverage of Prudential, and recently, administrative complaints were filed against Prudential Securities* and several of its former brokers and branch managers in Massachusetts. As president of your Trust, I’d like to provide you with an update on the issues as they pertain to JennisonDryden mutual funds.

Regulators and government authorities have requested information regarding trading practices from many mutual fund companies across the nation. Our fund family has been cooperating with inquiries it has received, and at the same time, Prudential Financial, Inc. has been conducting its own internal review. This review encompasses the policies, systems, and procedures of our fund family, Prudential Financial’s investment units and its proprietary distribution channels, including the former Prudential Securities. The review also includes mutual fund trading activity by investment professionals who manage our funds.

Market timing

Prudential Investments LLC, the Trust’s investment manager, has actively discouraged disruptive market timing, and for years our mutual fund prospectuses have identified and addressed this issue. Prudential Investments has established operating policies and procedures that are designed to detect and deter frequent trading activities that would be disruptive to the management of our mutual fund portfolios, and has rejected numerous orders placed by market timers in the past.

* Prudential Investments LLC, the manager of JennisonDryden mutual funds, and Prudential Investment Management Services LLC, the distributor of the funds, are part of the Investment Management segment of Prudential Financial, Inc. and are separate legal entities from the entity formerly known as Prudential Securities Incorporated, a retail brokerage firm. In February 2003, Prudential Financial and Wachovia Corporation announced they were combining their retail brokerage forces. The transaction was completed in July 2003. Wachovia Corporation has a 62% interest in the new firm, which is now known as Wachovia Securities LLC, and Prudential Financial owns the remaining 38%.

Late trading

The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that orders to purchase or redeem mutual fund shares be received either by the fund or by an intermediary (such as a broker, financial adviser, or 401(k) record keeper) before the time at which the fund calculates its net asset value (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) if they are to receive that day’s price. The policies of our mutual funds do not make and have not made allowances for the practice known as “late trading”.

For more than 40 years we have offered investors quality investment products, financial guidance, and responsive customer service. Today we remain committed to this heritage and to the highest ethical principles in our investment practices.

Sincerely,

Judy A. Rice, President

Investment Adviser’s Report

Prudential Investment Management, Inc.

Money Market Series

Facing the challenge of low interest rates

During the 12-month period that began December 1, 2002, investors searching for high-quality money market securities with attractive yields had to contend with interest rates that hovered at their lowest levels in decades. Therefore our investment strategy aimed to enhance the Series’ yield and to provide its shareholders with easy access to their money. The Series’ NAV remained at $1.00 per share throughout its fiscal year.

We typically invested in two maturity categories. Our short-term investments, securities maturing in three months or less, were federal agency notes and repurchase agreements with various U.S. financial institutions. Our longer-term investments were federal agency notes maturing in nine months to one year.

From time to time, we emphasized one maturity category more than the other, reflecting changing market conditions or the liquidity needs of the Series’ shareholders. For example, the threat of war with Iraq, among other things, undermined economic vitality in the United States during the early months of our reporting period. As 2003 continued, there was growing speculation in the financial markets that the Federal Reserve (the Fed) would reduce short-term interest rates to encourage sustainable economic growth. This outlook for a more accommodative monetary policy meant that money market yields could decline even further.

We believed we found particularly good value in federal agency notes scheduled to mature in one year that could be retired early (or called) by their respective issuers in three or six months. These callable notes featured relatively attractive yields to compensate investors for this early maturity option. During the reporting period, some federal agency notes held by the Series were called while others were not. Those issues that were called still benefited the Series by providing incremental yield during the time that they were held in the portfolio.

Overnight bank lending rate reduced to 1%

The change in monetary policy finally occurred in late June 2003. The rate banks charge each other for overnight loans was reduced a quarter of a percentage point to 1%. (Some investors had expected the benchmark rate to be cut by half a percentage point.) Disappointment over this modest change in monetary policy and signs of faster-than-expected economic growth put upward pressure on money market yields in the summer. Yields rose amid concern that the Fed might begin to consider increasing short-term rates.

Dryden Government Securities Trust 3

During the summer of 2003, we took advantage of what we believed to be an attractive investment opportunity. The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), a U.S. government-sponsored enterprise, buys mortgages and packages them into mortgage-backed securities that are sold to investors. Freddie Mac had to restate its earnings higher because of accounting irregularities. As a result of this news, yield spreads on Freddie Mac notes became tighter relative to corporate debt securities with comparable maturities. This partly reflected uncertainty about how Freddie Mac and the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) would be regulated in the future to prevent such problems from reoccurring. We capitalized on this window of opportunity by purchasing Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae notes, which provided incremental yield that benefited the Series.

In the autumn of 2003, we adjusted our strategy by selling federal agency notes maturing in six months to a year and buying those maturing in two months or less. This prepared the Series to accommodate an anticipated outflow of assets in late 2003 associated with a joint venture between Prudential Securities Incorporated and Wachovia Securities LLC.

U.S. Treasury Money Market Series

Investing amid low interest rates

Money market funds that invest exclusively in U.S. Treasury securities offer a lower-risk alternative amid volatile financial markets. However, the average seven-day current yield on money market funds declined significantly during our 12-month reporting period that began December 1, 2002. This trend occurred as the Federal Reserve (the Fed) reduced short-term interest rates to their lowest level in decades with a goal of stimulating sustainable economic growth in the United States.

Confronted with the challenge posed by the low-interest-rate environment, we employed an investment strategy aimed at enhancing the Series’ yield while providing its shareholders with quick access to their money. The Series’ NAV remained at $1.00 per share throughout its fiscal year.

Adjusting our two-pronged investment strategy

We typically invested in two maturity categories of Treasurys—those that came due in one month or less and those that had one year left to maturity. From time to time, we adjusted our approach so that our purchases focused more on one of these maturity categories than the other. Our adjustment depended on the flow of assets in the Series and changing conditions in the money markets. For example, the liquidity needs of the Series’ shareholders typically increase early in the calendar year. In order to

provide the Series with the flexibility to accommodate this development, we

emphasized Treasurys maturing in one month or less. Moreover, one-month Treasurys offered relatively higher yields because of the burgeoning supply of these debt securities. The U.S. Department of the Treasury has greatly increased the amount of securities it issues (some maturities more than others) to finance the ballooning federal budget deficit.

As 2003 continued, there was growing speculation in the financial markets that the Fed would cut short-term interest rates because, among other things, the threat of war with Iraq had hurt economic conditions in the United States. Therefore we began to emphasize Treasurys maturing in one year to lock in their yields before the general level of money market yields declined even further.

Overnight bank lending rate reduced to 1%

The long-awaited change in monetary policy occurred in late June 2003. The rate banks charge each other for overnight loans was reduced a quarter of a percentage point to 1%. (Some investors had expected the benchmark rate to be cut by half a percentage point.) Disappointment over this modest change in monetary policy and signs that the economy might be expanding at a brisk pace put upward pressure on money market yields in the summer of 2003. Yields rose amid concern that the Fed might begin to consider increasing short-term rates. In August 2003, we took advantage of this temporary rise in yields by purchasing Treasurys maturing in one year.

During the autumn of 2003, we adjusted our investment strategy by selling Treasurys maturing in nine months to one year and buying those maturing in three months or less. This prepared the Series to accommodate an anticipated outflow of assets in late 2003 associated with a joint venture between Prudential Securities Incorporated and Wachovia Securities LLC.

Notes to Financial Statements

Dryden Government Securities Trust (the “Fund”), formerly known as Prudential Government Securities Trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund consists of two series: the Money Market Series and the U.S. Treasury Money Market Series (each a “Series”); the monies of each series are invested in separate, independently managed portfolios. The Money Market Series seeks high current income, preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of short-term money market instruments issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities that mature in 13 months or less. The U.S. Treasury Money Market Series seeks high current income consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity by investing exclusively in U.S. Treasury obligations that mature in 13 months or less.

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund and each Series in the preparation of its financial statements.

Securities Valuations: Portfolio securities of the Fund are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method of valuation involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If the amortized cost method is determined not to represent fair value, the fair value shall be determined by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements with U.S. financial institutions, it is the Fund’s policy that its custodian or designated subcustodians, as the case may be under triparty repurchase agreements, take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase agreement exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts on

purchases of portfolio securities as adjustments to interest income. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis which may require the use of certain estimates by management. The Fund’s expenses are allocated to the respective Series on the basis of relative net assets except for Series specific expenses which are allocated at a Series or class level.

Dividends and Distributions: The Series declare daily dividends from net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains. Payment of dividends is made monthly. Income distributions and realized capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Federal Income Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each Series of the Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. It is each Series’ policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Note 2. Agreements

The Fund has a management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”). Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). PIM furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. In connection therewith, PIM is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Fund. PI pays for the services of PIM, the compensation of officers of the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.

The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly based on the average daily net assets of each Series. With respect to the Money Market Series, the management fee is payable as follows: .40 of 1% of average daily net assets up to $1 billion, .375 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $1 billion and $1.5 billion and .35 of 1% in excess of $1.5 billion. With respect to the U.S. Treasury Money Market Series, the management fee is payable at an annual rate of .40 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Series.

16 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

Each Series has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A and Class Z shares of each Series. Each Series compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Class A shares, pursuant to a plan of distribution (the “Class A Plan”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees for Class A shares are accrued daily and payable monthly. The distributor pays various broker-dealers for account servicing fees and for the expenses incurred by such broker-dealers. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of each Series.

Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Money Market Series and the U.S. Treasury Money Market Series compensate PIMS at an annual rate of .125 of 1% of each Series’ Class A average daily net assets.

PI, PIM and PIMS are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

Note 3. Other Transactions with Affiliates

Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PI and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the Fund’s transfer agent. During the year ended November 30, 2003, the Fund incurred fees of approximately $818,800 and $198,300, respectively, for the Money Market Series and U.S. Treasury Money Market Series. As of November 30, 2003, approximately $60,600 and $12,700 of such fees were due to PMFS, respectively, for the Money Market Series and U.S. Treasury Money Market Series. Transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses and sub-transfer agent fees paid to non-affiliates.

Note 4. Joint Repurchase Agreement Account

The Money Market Series, along with other affiliated registered investment companies, transfers uninvested cash balances into a single joint account, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury or federal agency obligations. As of November 30, 2003, the Money Market Series had a 23.3% undivided interest in the joint account. The undivided interest for the Money Market Series represents $66,524,000 in principal amount. As of such date, each repurchase agreement in the joint account and the collateral therefore were as follows:

Bank of America, 1.07%, in the principal amount of $95,303,000, repurchase price $95,311,498, due 12/01/03. The value of the collateral including accrued interest was $97,209,060.

SBC Warburg Asia Limited, 1.07%, in the principal amount of $95,303,000, repurchase price $95,311,498 due 12/01/03. The value of the collateral including accrued interest was $95,400,000.

Barclays Securities, Inc., 1.07%, in the principal amount of $95,304,000, repurchase price $95,312,498, due 12/01/03. The value of the collateral including accrued interest was $97,212,581.

Note 5. Distributions and Tax Information

Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. In order to present undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized capital gains (losses) and paid-in capital on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities that more closely represent their tax character, certain adjustments have been made to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gains on investments. For the year ended November 30, 2003, the adjustments were to decrease accumulated net realized gains and increase undistributed net investment income by $17,514 for the Money Market Series. For the year ended November 30, 2003, the adjustments were to decrease accumulated net realized gains and increase undistributed net investment income by $95,657 for the U.S. Treasury Money Market Series. Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not affected by this change.

For the years ended November 30, 2002 and November 30, 2003, the tax character of the dividends paid, as reflected in the Statement of Changes for the Money Market Series and the U.S. Treasury Money Market Series was ordinary income. The dividends were as follows:

	November 30, 2002		November 30, 2003
Money Market Series	$	7,462,523	$	2,800,281
U.S. Treasury Money Market Series	$	6,540,728	$	2,987,268

Both the Money Market Series and the U.S. Treasury Money Market Series had no distributable earnings as of November 30, 2003.

Note 6. Capital

The Fund offers Class A and Class Z shares. Neither Class A nor Class Z shares are subject to any sales or redemption charge. Class Z shares are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors. The Money Market Series may also offer Class S shares. There are no Class S shares currently issued and outstanding. Each Series has authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $.01 par value.

Transactions in shares of beneficial interest at $1 net asset value per share, for the Money Market Series were as follows:

Net increase (decrease) in shares outstanding	319,039		(1,218,220	)

Note 7. Reorganization

The U.S. Treasury Series historically has served as a sweep vehicle of an affiliated broker/dealer. During fiscal 2003 the U.S. Treasury Series was notified that it would no longer be utilized in such a manner. Consequently, U.S. Treasury Series assets will likely decline over time.

On November 18, 2003, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization which provided for the transfer of all assets and assumption of all liabilities of Class A and Z shares of the U.S. Treasury Money Market Series for Class A and Z shares of the Money Market Series, respectively.

At the close of business on November 19, 2003, the U.S. Treasury Series has been closed to new accounts pending the merger with the Money Market Series. Shareholders of the U.S. Treasury Series may redeem shares through the effective time of the merger.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of

Dryden Government Securities Trust

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Money Market Series and U.S. Treasury Money Market Series (constituting Dryden Government Securities Trust, formerly Prudential Government Securities Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at November 30, 2003, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at November 30, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 7, the Board of Trustees has approved a reorganization plan whereby the U.S. Treasury Money Market Series would be merged into the Money Market Series subject to the U.S. Treasury Money Market Series’ shareholders approval.
