DoD's Cargo Security Program

Abstract

Our survey of DOD's cargo security program showed that the services have established what appear to be reasonable procedures to control pilferage. These procedures providefor extra safeguards over sensitive and highly pilferable items and for systematic inspection of vehicles leaving storage areas. However, because of weaknesses in accounting controls at all levels of the supply pipeline, we could not determine the extent of cargo loss. Therefore we cannot now evaluate the overall effectiveness of DODs cargo security program.
