Department of Defense Inspector General Semiannual Report for Transmission to Congress October 1, 2004 - March 31, 2005

Abstract

One of the principal duties of an inspector general is to encourage good leadership and to serve as a role model for other leaders. On December 13, 1777, the Continental Congress resolved to establish an Inspector General of the Army and directed that one of his duties is to ensure that the officers command their soldiers properly, and do them justice. One of the stated purposes of the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, is to provide leadership. The crucial role of leadership in maintaining military good order and discipline is highlighted in our recent report addressing sexual assaults at the Service Academies, our review of the accountability of Department of Defense (DoD) and Air Force officials in the structuring and negotiation of the proposed lease contract for the KC767A Tanker aircraft program, and in our investigations of the role of the Former Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force in the acquisition of tanker aircraft and other Air Force contracts.
