Special Report: Weaknesses in the Retrograde Process for Equipment From Afghanistan

Abstract

The purpose of this special report is to assist U.S. military, civilian, and contractor personnel responsible for the retrograde of equipment from Afghanistan by highlighting weaknesses in the retrograde process identified in previous DoD OIG reports. As the retrograde from Afghanistan accelerates over the next few months, in accordance with the February 2020 agreement with the Taliban, the Army will process billions of dollars of equipment through retrograde hubs. The Army must properly handle equipment that is turned in by redeploying units to decrease the risk of equipment loss and compromise, and to facilitate equipment reuse.
