Report to Congressional Committees Depot Maintenance U.s Government Accountability Office

The Department of Defense maintains many complex weapon systems- such as aircraft and ships- and equipment - such as generators and radars- that require regular and emergency maintenance to continue being available for DOD to meet national security goals. To sustain these systems and equipment, at the depot level, the department uses a combination of military depots, public sector facilities that are government owned and government operated and private sector operators.
