The Impacts of OEF and OIF on Property Accountability within the United States Army

Abstract

The consequences of property accountability issues facing the United States Army are a growing concern. The United States' involvement in two conflicts simultaneously over the last decade combined with other factors has contributed to the Army losing accountability for some of its equipment. This SRP examines how the Army got into this situation and sets forth some recommendations for rectifying it. The paper explores the multiple levels of the Army's command and control structure and the practices it uses to account for U.S. Government property. Specifically, it examines the accountability efforts that were practiced during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).
