Army Depot Maintenance: Information on Workload, Workforce, and Challenges , August 10 , 2026
From the report: "The Army spent more than $7.1 billion operating its Anniston and Red River Depots from fiscal year (FY) 2021 through FY 2025. The Army spent most of this money maintaining and repairing ground vehicles. These depots, among other things, perform maintenance and repairs on ground vehicles, including vehicles such as tanks, and self-propelled artillery systems; trucks for hauling fuel and supplies; and light armored vehicles for transporting personnel and cargo. These vehicles all require sustainment throughout their life cycle.
House Report 119-231 (2025) accompanying a bill for the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 includes a provision for us to review the work performed at Army depots that primarily maintain and repair ground vehicles. This report provides information for Anniston and Red River Army Depots on how the ground vehicle-related workload and workforce has changed from FY 2021 through FY 2025, how the type of work has changed during this period, and challenges these depots face performing maintenance and repairs on ground vehicles."
