Year 2000 Readiness Reporting.
Abstract
Introduction. This is one in a series of reports being issued by the Inspector General, DoD, in accordance with an informal partnership with the Chief Information Officer, DoD, to monitor DoD efforts to address the year 2000 computing challenge. For a listing of audit projects addressing the issue, see the year 2000 web pages on the IGnet at http :llwww.ignet.gov/. Objectives. The overall audit objective was to evaluate whether the U.S. European Command adequately planned for year 2000 risks and will be able to avoid undue disruption to its mission, Issues were raised that apply to all combatant commands Therefore, for this segment of the audit, we reviewed the readiness reporting requirements of combatant commands and assessed the effect of the combatant commands' year 2000 compliance status on military planning. Results. The Joint Staff and the combatant commands lacked sufficient information to determine the year 2000 readiness status of equipment for apportioned and assigned units. As a result, the National Command Authorities and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had incomplete information on the equipment status of combatant commands and may incorrectly assess the year 2000 deployability posture of apportioned and assigned units and organizations. See the Finding section of this report for details.
