Highlights

The cost of acquiring valid defense needs now and in the foreseeable future far exceeds available funds. To make sure that the limited funds are spent for requirements that are truly critical, the military services must have effectiveness procedures for determining this fact. One area in which computed requirements exceed available funds is the acquisition of spare aircraft engines which are routinely needed by the Air Force and the Navy to replace those engines that periodically undergo necessary maintenance or major overhaul.
