Ground Vehicle Fleet Health

Abstract

Operations in Iraq have resulted in increased, but still modest OPTEMPO on the Army's combat and tactical vehicles. Maintenance expenditures have also increased. We were asked to determine if available data showed clear evidence of any trends in fleet health. We looked at data from a variety of sources the Operating and Support Management Information System (OSMIS), the Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA) Sample Data Collection (SDC) and the Army's reported mission capable rates to determine if there was evidence of deterioration in the Army's combat or tactical vehicle fleets. There is great variability in location-to-location and year-to-year experience, effectively obscuring any global trends. No evidence of deterioration was found, but the prospect could not be excluded.
