Problem Identification Oct, 03: Mr Tison (Deputy G-8): We need to ensure we fix the equipment as a result of GWOT, otherwise we will have to divert funding in future years to do this, when it should be done now. 1030 hrs, 10 Mar 04: BG Durbin, Deputy PAED Bring down the slide that shows how much more our systems have aged because of Iraq. I need it by 1400. SECDEF, 26 Mar 04: Typically, the cost of operations is funded with supplemental appropriations. I therefore would like to ensure that, in developing the next supplemental request, we are properly covering the cost of using equipment at higher than expected rates. effort is needed to understand more clearly how operations are contributing to greater wear and tear on equipment, and what the implications are for future supplemental appropriation requests. The study will determine the additional depot maintenance needed to repair and replace systems, tally the equipment lost in combat operations, and identify which items might have to be replaced sooner than anticipated.

Reflects vehicle and aircraft deployments in OIF as of September 2004. Overall, roughly 40% of Army Equipment has been deployed to OIF/OEF by the end of FY 05 In FY 03, little funding provided to support RESET In FY 04, $3B provided for RESET, but requirement was $4.4B with very little procurement In FY 05, ~ 10B provided in procurement, with $3.2 going towards RECAP and replacement of losses We expect increased requirements for a minimum of two years after hostilities end, and the backlog is growing 4

RESET Definitions RESET is a series of actions to restore units to a desired level of combat capability commensurate with mission requirements and availability of resources. It consists of: (1) Repairing IAW Technical Manuals (TM), to include Delayed Desert Damage (3D) and Aviation Special Technical Inspection and Repair (STIR), at both the National and Field levels (2) Recapitalization where sensible/affordable, implementing lessons learned (3) replacement of battle losses and washed out equipment (4) Reorganizing resetting units to a modular design in support of ACP. Added in FY 05 repairs damage, implements lessons learned through critical upgrades, replaces lost and washed out equipment which is not replaceable 5

Aging Analysis Concept # 2 RAND Study Build a failure rate to age relationship model for a few key parts Rand analysis compared mean time between failure to age of Abrams tank, broken out by work breakdown structure. low cost items showed aging to the largest extent low cost items have a great impact because though they are not cost drivers, they cause NMC rates to increase. Army Analysis Concept: - Compare failure data in OIF on cohorts of same aged systems to determine if aging can be observed in deployed fleets 14

Analysis of RECAP Increases Data was broken down by WBS, & binned into 8 age groups for each WBS Resulting data set was regressed to determine relationship between age and failure rate per 1000 miles Extrapolated curve Extrapolated curve Aging = Aging in AOR f ( time, mileage, terrain, environment) COST COST Mileage GWOT = Terrain Factor Environment Factor Factor OPTEMPO Time + Factor After a year in GWOT, a 13 year old HMMWV shows the characteristics of an 18 year old HMMWV.

Questions 19

BACKUP 20

National and Field Level RESET National level Reset is defined as work performed to correct equipment faults that are above the Field level of maintenance (that is, above ORG and DS), as laid out in Technical Manual Maintenance Allocation Charts. National level Reset is orchestrated by AMC, performed to a National standard that AMC is responsible for defining, and could be done in the Army Materiel Command, by contractor, by installation DOL maintenance activities, or any combination of the three. It is conducted in depots, arsenals and forward on or near installations where the equipment is stationed. The AMC life cycle management centers (LCMCs) develop strategies for National Level maintenance ICW their PEO/PM partners and IMA (for work done by DOLs). National level Reset is also conducted on pieces of equipment which exceed Field level Reset capability because of the quantity of work to be performed. Certain types of equipment, due to its inherent complexity, will automatically be done at the National level of maintenance. Aviation STIR and the Generator Reset program are examples. AMC has published a list of equipment which is treated in this manner. Field level Reset is defined as work performed to correct equipment faults within the Field level of maintenance (that is, work that is done by soldier mechanics at what we know today as ORG and DS level maintenance), as laid out in Technical Manual Maintenance Allocation Charts for their echelon of maintenance. Field level Reset work is executed by the MACOMs, and is done with soldier labor, augmented by contractor labor as required. This work is performed on the installation where the equipment is stationed. The scope of work at this level involves bringing a piece of equipment back to TM 10/20 standards, eliminating the effects of 3D, and performing services required. 21

Mileage effects on aging 22

Why RECAP? Recapitalization (RECAP) is the rebuild and/or systemic upgrade of currently fielded systems to ensure operational readiness and a zero time/zero mile system. Objectives include extending service life reducing O&S costs improving system reliability enhancing capability RECAP can be further subdivided into rebuild programs, which do not enhance capability, and upgrade programs, where capability is enhanced. RECAP occurs at the National level of Maintenance Current Operations are impacting on readiness: Combat operations Harsh environment Increased OPTEMPO (above expected peacetime level) 23

Alternative Modeling Methodology: Commercial truck costing Model Type Manufacturer MSRP Age equiv of 1 more year of Miles Long Haul Freightliner $ 115,880 1.12 Local Haul Freightliner $ 108,705 0.48 severe duty Freightliner $ 105,308 0.27 Average: 0.63 Either of these factors would greatly increase the aging factor Aging in AOR COST COST 1 GWOT = 4 Terrain Factor Environment Factor OPTEMPO +.75 Source: N.A.D.A. (National Automobile Dealers Association) Official Commercial Truck Guide - January - Febuary 2004 24

Alternative Modeling Methodology: Tractor Age vs Condition Premium > Good or Good > Fair = 1.20 years Premium > Good or Good > Fair = 1.33 years Commercial tractor methodology does not have a factor we could use based on increased mileage, only on condition. Tractor Model would increase aging of Abrams by 3.4-3.66 yrs Kelly bluebook Truck model would increase Aging by 3.77 yrs. - But no variance for lesser or greater used vehicles. All fleets would age by this amount. Source: Used Tractor Price Guide http://www.machinerylink.com/resources/uevg/sbm/default.asp 25
