Spare Parts Shortage Leaves U.S. Military Planes Not Ready
The Pentagon says more than 5,000 Air Force Navy and Marine aircraft are not operationally ready due to spare parts shortages and overdue maintenance. About 40 Navy ships are overdue for overhaul.

The Army reports 2,430 of 8,350 helicopters and 220 of 823 planes not ready, with requests for increased maintenance funding.
