BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Significant Savings Possible Through More

Efficient Depot Maintenance Of Army

Combat Vehicles



For years, the Congress has expressed concern
about the low productivity level and increasing
maintenance costs at Defense depots. GAO re-
viewed operations at three Army combat ve-
hicle depots in the continental United States--
Red River, Anniston, and Letterkenny-- and
one in Mainz, West Germany, and found that
productivity could be improved and mainte-
nance costs could be reduced if the Army

     --operated its three U.S. depots as ef-
     ficiently as the one in Mainz,

     --overhauled vehicles only when needed
     based on mileage and vehicle condition,
     and

     --eliminated work at the depot level
     that could be accomplished at a lower
     level.


The Army also needs to establish realistic war-
time requirements and match these with the,
facilities, equipment, repair parts, and staff'
needed.
