Department of Defense Inspector General Semiannual Report for Transmission to Congress April 1, 2005 - September 30, 2005

Abstract

On September 10, 2005, I assumed the position of Acting Inspector General of the Department of Defense. On behalf of over 1400 employees of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) I am pleased to submit this Semiannual Report to Congress for the period April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005. This report summarizes the significant accomplishments of the OIG. During this reporting period the Department of Defense continued to be actively engaged in the Global War Against Terror. Assisting the Department by reviewing the management of programs and operations pertaining to the Global War on Terror has been a priority for the OIG. Recent reports issued by this office include: 1 A joint Department of State/Department of Defense Inspectors General Interagency Assessment of Iraqi Police Training; 2 A report on the Intelligence Community Inspectors General Forum Review of the National HUMINT Requirements Tasking Center conducted in conjunction with the Inspectors General of the Central Intelligence Agency, Department of State and the Defense Intelligence Agency; and 3 A report on the DoD Patient Movement System which has the mission to safely transport U.S. military casualties from a combat zone to fixed medical treatment facilities and field hospitals in or out of the combat theater. As this reporting period closed, the Nation was confronted by the natural disasters resulting from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Congress and agencies across the Federal government, including the Department of Defense, were quick to respond. Congress has appropriated over $60 billion in emergency funds to aid victims and repair damaged infrastructure. The Department of Defense has a significant role in the recovery efforts and Congress and the American people will look for assurance that funds to aid victims are used efficiently for their intended purpose. The OIG DoD is cooperating with other Inspectors General to ensure proper oversight of Hurricane relief funds is provided.
