As military vehicles near the end of their operational life, a board of survey is convened in accordance with the relevant Defence Force regulations to determine whether the vehicles are serviceable, repairable, obsolete, or surplus to military requirements.
At present there are a small number of 4x2 troop carrying vehicles that are expected to come to the end of their operational life in the fourth quarter of 2013. At that stage, a decision will be made by a board of survey regarding the future of these vehicles. In advance of the recommendations of a board of survey, it is not possible to confirm if the 4x2 troop carrying vehicles will be disposed of. There are currently no explosive ordnance disposal vehicles either being disposed of or under review by a board of survey.
