Summary
About 40,000 civilians at Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force depots maintain weapon systems and equipment. During FY 2020, COVID-19 exacerbated challenges the depots already faced, such as having too few people or materials to finish work. The depots responded to COVID-19 by protecting personnel, shifting schedules, or pausing operations. DOD also acted to keep the funds used to operate depots solvent, despite reduced depot revenue. Our 9 recommendations include that DOD provide guidance to depot personnel before a crisis, update depot contingency plans based on COVID-19 lessons learned, and publish its Working Capital Fund cash management policy.
