Abstract
This thesis examines the feasibility of gathering
depreciation related information from existing sources
for United States Army organization equipment. Ten sources
are identified, and the amount and type of information each
can supply is evaluated. Methods for estimating missing
information are demonstrated and evaluated. The resources
required to gather this information are estimated for the
most promising sources. The primary conclusion reached
is that all necessary information cannot be gathered.
However, gathering existing information is feasible and
useful. Fourteen recommendations are made concerning
actions needed to prevent destruction of existing information,
correct property accounting systems so that future
information is recorded, and ensure that information
sources can efficiently provide depreciation related
information for equipment when depreciation systems are
implemented.
