Depot Investment Reform Act

This bill changes how the Pentagon figures the required minimum “capital investment” for certain military repair and maintenance depots. Instead of looking only at the previous three years, it would look at three years that span past, present, and near future: last year, this year, and the estimated amount for next year .

This matters because it updates the time window used to decide how much money must be put into equipment and facilities at these depots, which keep military gear ready for use .

• Who is affected: Certain Department of Defense depots
• What changes: The calculation uses last year, the current year, and next year’s estimate, instead of the previous three years
• When: The text provided does not specify an effective date
