DEFENSE INVENTORY: The Army Needs a Plan to Overcome Critical Spare Parts Shortages

Abstract

The Army's logistics strategic plan provides strategic goals, objectives, and milestones for force transformation efforts, but does not specifically address the mitigation of critical spare parts shortages. The Army's Transformation Campaign Plan, published in April 2001, serves as a mechanism to move the Army from its present posture to a more strategically deployable and responsive force. The plan prescribes specific goals and milestones to support the transformation process. However, it lacks objectives and performance measures it could use to show progress in mitigating critical spare parts shortages.
