Import Processing of DOD Cargo Arriving in the Republic of Korea
Abstract
This is the second in a series of reports being issued by the Inspector General, DoD, to address the effectiveness of the DoD supply and distribution system. The Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Supply Chain Integration) expressed concern about whether the supply and distribution system was effective in delivering cargo to customers overseas. This report discusses import processing by U.S. Forces Korea of DoD cargo arriving in the Republic of Korea. Our overall objective was to assess the effectiveness of the DoD distribution and transportation system in supporting the DoD strategic goal of reducing logistics response time, as it relates to customers located outside the continental United States. The specific objective for this portion of the review was to assess the import processing of DoD cargo arriving into the theater at commercial ports of entry. We issued our first report, Inspector General, DoD, Report No. D-200 1-149, "Coordinating and Tracking of Commercial Containers in Korea," on June 22, 2001. The specific objective in that report was to assess the movement of commercial containers in the theater.
