European Stars and Stripes
Abstract
The European Stars and Stripes (ES&S) organization publishes a daily newspaper, The Stars and Stripes, for DoD personnel stationed in Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and other DoD activities in the U.S. European Command. The newspapers are distributed primarily through contractor- and ES&S-operated bookstores that also sell books and magazines. Stars and Stripes is a DoD nonappropriated-fund activity, but receives appropriated-fund support. The U.S. Army, as the executive agent for ES&S, provides administrative and logistical support. This audit was requested by the Director, American Forces Information Service (AFIS), who asked us to review ES&S operations, and by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID), which asked for audit assistance in its investigation of fraud and other improprieties in the ES&S organization. The DoD Hotline also received several allegations that required evaluation.
