            February 25, 1993


            The Honorable Vic Fazio
            House of Representatives

            The Department of Defense (DOD) is evaluating depot
            maintenance operations to determine how best to lower the
            overall cost of these functions while retaining essential
            operating capability. As you requested, we developed
            information on work load, productivity, quality, capacity
            and financial indicators at the Air Force's five Air
            Logistics Centers (ALC).

            BACKGROUND

            Depot maintenance is the repair of materiel requiring a
            major overhaul or the complete rebuilding of parts,
            assemblies, and end items. It includes manufacturing,
            modification, modernization, repair, testing and
            reclamation. The maintenance depots provide stocks of
            serviceable equipment by using a combination of special
            skills, equipment, and repair facilities that are not
            available at lower levels.

            The Air Force has five major depot repair centers, each of
            which is an integral part of one of the five Air Logistics
            Centers. These include Ogden ALC, Hill Air Force Base,
            Utah; Oklahoma City ALC, Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma;
            Sacramento ALC, McClellan Air Force Base, California; San
            Antonio ALC, Kelly Air Force Base, Texas; and Warner Robins
            ALC, Robins Ail Force Base, Georgia.I The ALC depots
            repair aircraft, missiles, engines, and communications-
            electronics equipment. The work varies in technical
            complexity, scope of work packages, and the types and skills
            of work required. Table 1 provides a brief overview of the
            five Air Logistics Centers and the type of repair work they


            'The Air Force has two other depot maintenance activities,
            the Aerospace Guidance and Metrology Center, Newark Air
            Force Base, Ohio and the Aerospace Maintenance and
            'Regeneration Center, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona.
