Depot Maintenance: DOD has Improved the Completeness of its Biennial Core Report

Abstract

Defense Department personnel and contractors work in depots to keep weapons and equipment ready for use. These depots must have the ability to meet surges in demand in emergencies. They also must be able to maintain a core of capabilities without overreliance on contractors. DOD reports to Congress every 2 years on the status of depot capabilities, including projected shortfalls. In past reviews, we found inaccuracies and other weaknesses in the reports and made recommendations for improving them. We found considerable improvements in the 2018 report, which included a more complete accounting of capability gaps and the plans to fill them.
