Financial analyses, audits, or official cost-savings estimates demonstrating that activities at the 1109th depot reduce War Department spending by 'millions of dollars a year' compared with alternatives.
DVIDS and U.S. Army reporting state that the 1109th AVCRAD’s depot-level overhauls and rebuilds spare the Department of Defense and U.S. taxpayers "millions of dollars every year," citing examples (e.g., two battle-damaged CH-47 Chinooks rebuilt rather than replaced). The available official military coverage and historical rebuild projects support the assertion that the depot’s work can save the War Department (Department of Defense) millions annually. Verdict: True — credible Department of Defense/U.S. Army sources explicitly state and document cost-saving depot maintenance that yields multi‑million dollar savings.
