The Department Of Defenses Management Of Costs Under The Logistics Civil Augmentation Program Logcap Contract In Iraq PDF Download

Our audit objective was to determine whether the Army adequately planned for the transition from the Logistic Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) III contract to the LOGCAP IV contract. See Appendix A for a discussion of the scope and methodology and prior audit coverage related to the audit objectives. We performed this audit pursuant to 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," January 28, 2008. 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 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. DOD plans to transfer logistics support for contingency operations in Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan from the LOGCAP III contractor to the LOGCAP IV contractors. This audit focused on the task orders for the transferring of work in Kuwait; however, the Army Sustainment Command (ASC) will use the Kuwait transition work as the benchmark for transitioning work in Iraq and Afghanistan.
