Need For Improvement In The Management Of Equipment For The Military Assistance Program

Abstract

The Department of Defense's management of equipment accumulated in inventory for sale or grant to other countries under the military assistance program has been reviewed by the General Accounting Office. Our examination revealed a need for the Department to improve procedures at operating levels to account for, screen, and utilize equipment accumulated in the military assistance program inventory. We found that millions of dollars worth of equipment had not been considered by the Department in filling program requirements. At the same time, additional equipment was to be procured or obtained from Army stock to meet requirements which should and could have been met with the equipment on hand.
