Due to high interest by Congress and the public regarding vehicle armor, GAO initiated this subsequent engagement to examine issues affecting the production and installation of armor for medium and heavy trucks. The objectives were to (1) determine the extent to which truck armor was produced and installed to meet identified requirements, (2) identify what factors affected the time to provide truck armor, and (3) identify what actions the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Army have taken to improve the timely availability of truck armor. To address these objectives, GAO collected and analyzed supply data for medium and heavy tactical trucks used by Army forces. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-160/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-160.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-160/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-160.pdf GAO-06-160 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-160 Other Written Product GAO-06-160; Defense Logistics: Several Factors Limited the Production and Installation of Army Truck Armor during Current Wartime Operations; Army procurement Army supplies Defense capabilities Logistics Military land vehicles Military materiel Military operations Schedule slippages Strategic planning Timeliness Army Heavy Equipment Transporter System Army Palletized Load System DOD Operation Iraqi Freedom Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle
