         Subject: Depot Maintenance: Sustainment Strategy for Harrier Aircraft Could Be
         Enhanced with Additional Metrics

         This report formally transmits the attached briefing (see enc. I) in response to section
         343 (a) of The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Pub. L. No.
         111-84). The Act requires the Comptroller General to provide a report on the
         sustainment strategy for the AV-8B Harrier aircraft and provide the results to the
         congressional defense committees no later than 180 days after the enactment of the
         Act. On April 26, 2010, we provided the briefing to your offices to satisfy the
         mandate. Because the AV-8B Harrier aircraft sustainment strategy does not detail
         how the Navy will measure the execution of all the responsibilities of the
         organizations accountable for coordinating AV-8B maintenance events, the Single
         Process Owners; we are recommending that the Navy develop and implement metrics
         for evaluating the execution of all the stated Single Process Owners' responsibilities.
         A draft was sent to the Department of Defense and no comments were provided. The
         Related GAO Products section at the end of this report lists additional GAO
         publications on this issue.

         We are sending copies of this report to the appropriate congressional committees.
         We are also sending copies to the Secretary of Defense; the Deputy Secretary of
         Defense; the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics); the
         Secretary of the Navy and the Commandant of the Marine Corps. This report will
         also be available at no charge on our Web site at http://www.ao.gov. Should you or
         your staffs have any questions concerning this report, please contact me at (202) 512-
         8246 or edwardsi@gaogov. Contact points for our Offices of Congressional Relations
         and Public Affairs may be found on the last page of this report. Key contributors to
         this report were Carleen Bennett, Assistant Director; Yong Song; and Jessica Drucker.
