DEFENSE MAINTENANCE: Sustaining Readiness Support Capabilities Requires a Comprehensive Plan

Abstract

As requested, my testimony today will (1) provide a perspective about how the Departments depot maintenance program has changed since 1987, (2) highlight some of the management weaknesses we have identified in prior and ongoing work on DODs logistics system in general and more specifically the depot maintenance programs, and (3) discuss some key issues we believe the Department should address to help its maintenance programs achieve desired readiness and sustainability capabilities in an economical manner. Appendix I lists our related reports in this area.
