Charges Assessed the Army by the Defense Logistics Agency for Deployable Medical Systems.

Abstract

We performed this audit in response to a request from the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Financial Operations). The Deputy Assistant Secretary requested that we evaluate the reasonableness of Defense Logistics Agency charges assessed the Army for the storage and assembly of deployable medical systems. The Defense Logistics Agency charges the Army, a Defense Business Operations Fund customer, for support it provides in procuring deployable medical systems. Army officials asked us to evaluate the controls used to identify and accumulate Defense Logistics Agency costs used to bill the Army for deployable medical systems. Deployable medical systems are standardized modular field hospitals that can be prepositioned in the event of a contingency, national emergency, or war operations. In FY 1994, the Defense Personnel Support Center billed the Army $25 million for acquiring and assembling deployable medical systems.
