The report contains information on the impact of, and circumstances surrounding, repair parts shortages at the Corpus Christi Army Depot, and describes actions that the Army is taking to overcome the shortages. The Corpus Christi, Texas, depot overhauls most Army helicopters, engines, and components, such as transmissions, rotor hubs, and blades. Repair parts shortages have been increasing at the depot causing significant maintenance cost increases and reductions of available aircraft. Contributing to the parts shortages were lengthy procurement processing delays and increasing numbers of defective parts received from contractors.
