Ship Utilization in Support of the Global War on Terror

Abstract

The overall objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of policies and procedures used to ensure that activated Government-owned and Government-chartered vessels are used to the maximum extent prior to procuring commercial transportation to Southwest Asia (SWA). We performed this audit as required by Public Law 110-181, ?The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008,,? section 842, ?Investigation of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in Wartime Contracts and Contracting Processes in Iraq and Afghanistan.? Section 842 requires thorough investigation and auditing to identify potential waste, fraud, and abuse in the performance of DoD contracts, subcontracts, and task and delivery orders for the logistical support of coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Further, Section 842 also requires thorough investigation and auditing of Federal agency contracts, subcontracts, and task and delivery orders for the performance of security and reconstruction functions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
