Fraud, Waste, and Abuse in the Army's Logistical Field

Abstract

A lack of leadership involvement in the militarys logistical arena has caused numerous unnecessary problems. The lack of leader involvement prevents the enforcement of procedures and regulations that deter the misappropriation of military equipment, supplies, and parts.Unfortunately unit morale and readiness decrease, and unknown amounts of money and man hours are wasted. Affects do not stop at the unit or military as a whole for that matter. Taxpayers and displaced civilians on the battle field are just a couple of examples of those who pay the price in the long run. Proper supervision and training has fallen partially due to todays high operational tempo.
