Military Depots: Addressing Deteriorating Facilities and Equipment - Director Summary

Diana Maurer discusses our May 2022 report on the condition of military depots' infrastructure. Depots employ over 80,000 civilians and maintain, overhaul, and repair DOD's weapon systems and equipment. Their facilities remain in fair to poor condition with most capital equipment past its service life. GAO recommends that the military services report in their annual budget requests the minimum investment level needed to prevent further deterioration.
