Soldiers own the ability to construct bridges, overcome obstacles and assist when disaster strikes. Engineering equipment has important functions such as reaching into disaster areas and assisting in search and rescue. Keeping the engineering equipment properly to protect the country and the safety of people are important issues at present. The excavators and loaders have been becoming an important force for the relief of Army Corps due to their high maneuverability, excavation and carrying capacity. Along with the streamlining of the national army organizations and the shrinking of the national defense budget, the national army carries increasingly frequent missions of disaster relief, while maintaining operational effectiveness, maintenance efficiency and reducing maintenance costs at same time. Therefore, how to use both outsourcing and self-maintenance to maintain the effective operation of engineering equipment has become an issue that is worthy getting to the meat of this problem. In this study, we use the Army Corps of Engineers as the research object, using system dynamics to explore the key variables which affecting the availability of engineering equipment, constructing a system dynamic model, and using this model to maintain policy analysis and simulation. By adjusting the outsourcing ratio, outsourcing maintenance time, the proportion of maintenance hours and other variables, observe the impact on the availability maintenance costs and maintenance benefit. For further discussion, the propose of improvements, and provide reference for policy makers to formulate policies.
