Subject
Summary:

When the military no longer needs aircraft parts, it turns them over to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), which manages the Defense Department's (DOD) disposal process. DLA has the option of selling the parts to the public or destroying them and selling them as scrap. If for some reason the military later decides that it needs parts still in the disposal process, it can request their return. This report discusses whether (1) DOD destroyed usable aircraft parts during the disposal process that did not have military technology and flight safety implications and (2) the military has recalled aircraft parts from the disposal process to preclude unnecessary purchases or repairs.
