Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Sept. 20, 1988
Report No. NSIAD-88-77
Subject
Summary:

In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Army's replacement of its construction vehicles in Europe, to determine why it disposed of certain vehicles.

GAO found that: (1) the Army disposed of old construction vehicles without determining whether it would be cost-effective to retain them; (2) the Army did not provide any evidence to support its contentions that the vehicles were outmoded, expensive to maintain, and impacted readiness; (3) repair estimates for seven vehicles at a disposal site ranged from $230 to $13,000, and about 240 of the 800 vehicles to be disposed of in Europe were useable and operable; and (4) the Army sold 47 vehicles to Portugal for $11,500, or about $240 per vehicle. GAO also found that: (1) the Army purchased 850 vehicles for Europe at a cost of $79 million out of $470 million for the overall vehicle program; and (2) users of the new vehicles expressed concern about their ability to perform as well as the older vehicles that the Army replaced.
