Apr 09. July 14 – 15, 2009. Le Meridien Piccadilly, London, UK. Vehicle Maintenance and Repair is fast becoming one of the most pressing issues for military forces engaged in high tempo operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Over seven and a half years of constant deployment and aggressive use of assets have left the mechanised formations of coalition militaries stretched to the limit, with vehicles driven beyond normal tolerances. Vehicles must be obtained in the right numbers, at the right time and in the right condition to ensure operational effectiveness and security. But how can you optimise fleet readiness whilst also adhering to ever stricter budgets?
