Aviation Requirements: DOD Should Reassess the Marine Corps' Helicopter Modernization Decision

Abstract

We have completed our review of the Department of Defense's (DOD) efforts to reduce the types and numbers of helicopters in its inventories. Our objective was to determine whether the services are taking advantage of opportunities to increase commonality of helicopters within DOD. Generally, we found the services are taking action to reduce numbers and types of helicopters. The purpose of this letter is to convey our concern about the Marine Corps' plans to modernize its fleet of UH-1 (Huey) helicopters.
