Report on the Assessment of Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives Accountability and Control; Security Assistance; and Logistics Sustainment for the Iraq Security Forces
Abstract
In October 2007, the DoD IG assembled a Munitions Assessment Team (MAT) to evaluate the control and accountability of Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives in Iraq and Afghanistan. The results of that assessment were published in the classified report, DoD IG Report No. SPO-2008-001, Assessment of the Accountability of Arms and Ammunition Provided to the Security Forces of Iraq, July 3, 2008. At the request of the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the MAT team reassembled to determine the status of corrective actions that were to be implemented in response to that July 2008 report. The fieldwork for this assessment was conducted in Iraq during April and May 2008. The team evaluated the status of issues on accountability and control of Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives, the responsiveness of Foreign Military Sales support to the ISF, and the development of logistics sustainment capability for the ISF, which included issues related to building the Iraqi military health care system and its sustainment base. This report is divided into five parts: (1) Follow-up Assessment on the Accountability of Arms and Ammunition Provided to the Security Forces of Iraq; (2) additional Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives issues; (3) Foreign Military Sales; (4) Logistics Sustainability; and (5) Medical Sustainability. The results are discussed in each of those parts.
