Unethical Behavior: Defrauding the United States Army

Abstract

Ethics are a set of moral principals used by individuals to influence their behavior, and distinguish their obligations. Army leaders face three general ethical responsibilities: First, they must set the example, second, they must refrain from placing Soldiers in compromising situations, finally, they have an obligation to develop positive ethical behaviors in subordinates and continuously re-enforce the fundamentals of duty, loyalty, and selfless service. This paper focuses on fraudulent activities conducted by U.S. Army Soldiers and Department of the Army (DA) civilians in support of OEF and OIF. The Army is investigating over 15,000 other contracts granted over the last few years supporting Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan to decide which, if any are, contaminated by fraud.
