         Subject: Defense Logistics: DOD Input Needed on Implementing Depot Maintenance
         Study Recommendations

         This report responds to section 322 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense
         Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009.1 Section 322 required the Secretary of Defense
         to contract for a study on the capability and efficiency of the depots of the
         Department of Defense (DOD) to provide the logistics capabilities and capacity
         necessary for national defense. DOD placed a task order under an existing contract
         with LMI, Inc. (LMI) to complete the study, which was to address a range of issues
         specified in section 322. As required by section 322, the task order specified that the
         contractor submit an interim report on its study to the Senate and House Committees
         on Armed Services not later than 1 year after the commencement of the study and a
         final report not later than 22 months after the date on which the Secretary of Defense
         enters into the contract. LMI submitted its interim report, containing background
         information and summary data on the DOD depot maintenance enterprise, to the
         Committees on Armed Services in December 2009. The final report, containing
         conclusions and recommendations, was provided to the Committees on Armed
         Services in February 2011.

         Section 322 also directed GAO to provide an assessment of the feasibility of the
         recommendations and whether the findings were supported by the data and
         information examined and to submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services
         of the Senate and House of Representatives within 90 days of the date on which the
         contractor submitted its final report. In response, our objectives were to determine
