Defense Transportation: Ineffective Oversight Contributes to Freight Losses

Abstract

In response to your request, we reviewed Department of Defense (DOD) efforts to prevent losses of government property in transit. We found that the systems for identifying, reporting, and recovering lost freight and for monitoring carriers performance need improvement to adequately protect in-transit defense property. We recommended that DOD take a number of actions to improve the quality of the transportation system. Unless a high priority is given to improving transportation practices, defense property will remain vulnerable to loss.
