2. VEHICLE AND AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT 2.1 The disposal of the large number of unserviceable vehicles is a major obstacle. The six year time-frame to dispose of these vehicles was mainly attributed to a tedious and lengthy administrative process. Vehicles could not be auctioned as required, and while the base followed procedures, constant changes to these procedures often resulted in delays. These vehicles have to be disposed of as soon as possible, given the security risk associated with possible theft of parts and possibilities of fire.
