U.S. Department of Defense faces an inventory crisis, and to digest the extra equipment would not be easy.

this may become a cost that the cost of Pentagon planners failed to foresee at the moment of the Department of Defense efforts to cut spending, they must digest.

retired U.S. Navy Lieutenant Keith Lippert held in Alexandria, Virginia on May 23, defense logistics and materiel readiness summit, taking into account the current financial pressures, the Department of Defense The inventory problem is very troublesome, and will certainly exacerbate.

These factors have led to the U.S. military has a backlog of billions of dollars in excess spare parts. “(Zachary Fryer – Biggs)
