![]() ![]() The Army’s depots reported meeting their maintenance goals for about 91% of weapon systems in FYs 20. This was partly due to frequent communication between program offices and depot stakeholders. The Air Force’s depots completed aircraft maintenance on time or early 78% to 90% of the time between FYs 2014-2019. The Air Force, Army and Marine Corps have generally met their depot maintenance goals in recent years. The photos below show a Navy F/A-18 and a submarine undergoing depot maintenance. We recommended that the Navy address workforce requirements to avoid the excessive use of overtime. ![]() ![]() The two main causes for the delays included unplanned work and issues with shipyard workforce performance and capacity, which resulted in the Navy relying on excessive use of overtime to attempt to address these issues. We recommended (among other things) that the Navy identify more accurate turn-around target times for aircraft maintenance.Īdditionally, the Navy’s 4 shipyards completed maintenance on time for aircraft carriers and submarines just 25% of the time from FYs 2015-2019. Navy aircraft have spent over 62,000 more days in maintenance than expected since FY 2014. The Navy is struggling to complete maintenance on time for its fixed-wing aircraft, aircraft carriers, and submarines.įor example, Navy depots were overall late completing select fixed-wing aircraft maintenance every year between FYs 2014-2019, completing maintenance on time about 50 percent of the time. So, how are DOD’s maintenance depots performing, when it comes to completing maintenance on time? But if these depots can’t complete maintenance on time, DOD’s weapon systems can’t be used for operations and training. DOD’s repair depots ensure that critical weapon systems like aircraft, submarines, and tanks are ready for military operations. ![]()
