Depot Maintenance

Issues in Management and Restructuring to Support a Downsized Military Gao ID: T-NSIAD-93-13 May 6, 1993

Substantial excess capacity exists within the military's depot maintenance system. In GAO's view, the Pentagon's estimate of 25 to 50 percent is conservative. This testimony answers the following questions: (1) What is the basis for current Defense Department allocations of depot work between the public and private sectors? (2) Is the private sector's role changing in the performance of depot maintenance activities? (3) What is the status of the public-private competition initiative? (4) What needs to be done to ensure that future defense maintenance requirements can be managed more cost-effectively?
