Army Medium Trucks: Information on Delivery Delays and Corrosion Problems

摘要

As you requested, we reviewed the Army's Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) program. On November 19,1998, we reported on the vehicle's production problems and recommended safeguards needed to preclude such problems in future contracts. We also reported on the Army's plan to develop a second source producer without conducting a cost and benefit analysis or examining alternatives. This report responds to your request for historical FMTV program information. Specifically, it addresses (1) the causes and effects of the contractor's delays in delivering acceptable trucks and (2) the Army's actions to mitigate corrosion problems on FMTV trucks.
