S. Army Aviation Systems Command P. 0. Box 209 St. Louis, Missouri 63166 292 Dear Sir: We have reviewed selected aspects of the Army's aviation maintenance program. Our review was performed at the Army Aeronautical Depot Mainte- nance Center, Corpus Christi, Texas (ARADMAC), the Army Aviation Systems Command, St. Louis, Missouri (AVSCOM), and the Army aircraft contractor, Bell Helicopter Company, Fort Worth, Texas (Bell). The review, in our opinion, disclosed a need for a more responsive Army aviation maintenance program. A draft report covering our major findings and recommendations was sent to the Secretary of Defense on April 1, 1970. Copies were also sent to the Secretary of the Army for his information. In addition, we wish to call to your attention other findings dis- closed during our review which we believe indicate a need for improvement in management procedures and controls. With the exception of the data obtained at Bell concerning deficien- cies in inspection and preservation, details of these findings were pre- viously furnished in our statements of facts and summary of information. NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT IN ASSET REPORTING FOR AIRCRAFT MATERIEL MANAGEMENT The Army's supply control study (SCS), designed for the computation of aircraft component requirements, is dependent on underlying reporting systems to provide asset and other pertinent data in order for it to pro- duce valid requirements data. If such data, including full asset vis- ibility and world-wide status are not available, requirements computations of doubtful validity may result in both under and over-procurement of spare aircraft components. Our review disclosed that-two of the principal reporting systems, Aircraft Component Intensive Management System (ACIMS), and the Ownership and Accountability for Selected Secondary Items in Overseas Theater Depots (OASIS), have not provided complete and therefore accurate, asset data.
