Air Force Could Reduce War Reserve Requirements of Spares and Repair Parts for Combat-Ready Units

Gao ID: LCD-75-444 August 27, 1976

War reserves are materials required in addition to peacetime assets to support planned wartime activities. A study was conducted to determine how these investments in spare parts could be reduced in the most cost-effective manner.

The cost of acquiring these reserves has increased greatly, and the cost of acquiring stocks to meet the requirements computed by the Air Force far exceeds available funds. GAO proposed several alternatives for reducing investments in spare and repair parts and, at the same time, providing effective support.
