Army Maintenance: General Support Maintenance Units Not Prepared to Perform Wartime Missions: Nsiad-89-183

GAO evaluated the Army's general support maintenance activities to determine how well the Army was preparing general support units for their wartime missions.
GAO found that: (1) most Army general support maintenance units did not know what combat units they would be supporting or what equipment they would be expected to repair in wartime; (2) the Army had maintenance units working on older or outmoded equipment that it expected to replace with modern equipment; (3) some general support maintenance units were spending more than half their time on lower-level maintenance tasks, in violation of Army regulations; and (4) the Army did not have adequate systems to assess individual or unit proficiency in general support maintenance.
