Summary:

Although the Army has reduced its requirements for spare parts, its current operating and war reserve requirements are still significantly overstated. At the Aviation Systems Command and the Tank-Automotive Command, requirements for needed inventory were overstated by upwards of $1.6 billion, resulting in millions of dollars in unnecessary repairs as well as potentially unnecessary procurements. The systems and policies being used by the Tank-Automotive Command and the Aviation Systems Command for forecasting requirements are also being used by the other four national inventory control points, suggesting that overstated requirements may be a widespread and a very costly problem for the Army.
