Highlights

GAO was asked to reexamine the justification for the proposed realignment of the Army's aircraft maintenance mission from New Cumberland Army Depot to the Corpus Christi Army Depot in the light of the following developments: (1) the Army's personnel and dollar authorizations are no longer decreasing or projected to decrease, but are projected to increase; (2) the Army prefers to have two helicopter maintenance facilities despite economic considerations; (3) the CH-47 helicopter will still be used, and other helicopter procurements will increase substantially; and (4) the Army's 1977 economic cost study is no longer valid because the Navy no longer plans to leave Corpus Christi.
