Each year, the U.S. Army spends about $3 billion on depot-level maintenance and repair work for weapons systems and other equipment. However, because its data gathering and reporting processes have been limited, the Army historically has been unable to fully identify how much depotlevel maintenance takes place outside its five public depots. As a result, it has not been able to determine with precision how well it was meeting statutory requirements to limit contracted depot-level maintenance work to 50 percent of the program budget. In the House report on the Fiscal Year 2001 Defense Authorization Act, Congress directed the Army to report on the proliferation of depot-level maintenance work at nondepot facilities and asked GAO to review that report. GAO examined the extent to which (1) the Army's report identifies the amount of depot-level maintenance work done outside public depots; (2) the Army can account for its depot-level maintenance workload, as required by statute; and (3) the corrective actions in the report are likely to address the proliferation issue and enhance the Army's reporting. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-220/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-220.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-220/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-220.pdf GAO-04-220 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-220 Other Written Product GAO-04-220; Depot Maintenance: Army Needs Plan to Implement Depot Maintenance Report's Recommendations; Army facilities Data integrity Equipment maintenance Maintenance costs Private sector Reporting requirements Strategic planning Work measurement Army procurement Noncompliance Policies and procedures Underreporting Title 10 Section 2460 Title 10 Section 2464 Title 10 Section 2466 Title 10 Section 2466(b) 10 U.S.C. 2460 10 U.S.C. 2464 10 U.S.C. 2466 10 U.S.C. 2466(b) Title 2610 Section 2466(b) 2610 U.S.C. 2466(b)
