    They ran a sample on the vehicles and out of the vehicles that were sampled the following was found

    Five of six selected Army ground combat vehicles did not meet mission capable goals in any fiscal year (FY) during the time frame of GAO’s review. In the same time frame, selected Army ground support vehicles achieved mission capable goals about 20 percent of the time. The Marine Corps does not have a mission capable goal for its ground vehicles, though two of seven selected vehicles achieved positive changes in mission capable rates when comparing fiscal years 2015 and 2024.

      Okay so my app bugged out while sending my response, so this is a loose reiteration. Apologies if its redundant.

      Five of six selected Army ground combat vehicles

      This isnt 6 individual vehicles. Its 6 fleets of different vehicle models. 5 of the 6 fleets of army combat vehicles have not held a 90% mission capable rating for a full fiscal year.

      That is very different than saying 20% of ground vehicles are mission capable.

      Edit: It refers to “types” in the cover letter, not fleets

      To address our objectives, we selected 18 types of Army and Marine Corps ground vehicles.
