Summary:

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Army's process for determining depot maintenance requirements, specifically at the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive Command (TACOM) and the U.S. Army Aviation Systems Command (AVSCOM).

GAO found that: (1) TACOM and AVSCOM lacked effective controls to ensure that repair programs established at Army depots were based on current requirements data; (2) TACOM and AVSCOM established some depot repair programs using outdated data; (3) in some cases, TACOM and AVSCOM repaired more items than were needed to satisfy current requirements; and (4) the Army Audit Agency reported that some maintenance programs had been established unnecessarily and that assets that exceeded requirements had been generated.
