Audit of Navy and Marine Corps Actions to Address Corrosion on F/A-18C-G Aircraft

Rec. 3: The DoD OIG recommended that the Commander, Naval Air Forces, assess the actions implemented to address corrosion and determine whether these actions resulted in fewer instances of corrosion that should have been identified at the organizational level during the service life extension process, reduced costs associated with corrosion prevention or correction, or improved readiness measured in either operational availability or mission capability. If the actions have not reduced the number of instances of corrosion that should have been identified at the organizational level, reduced costs, or improved readiness, then the Commander should identify alternate initiatives to address organizational-level corrosion inspection and maintenance.
