Abstract:
The objective of the audit was to determine whether controls were in place for acquiring mission-essential medical equipment and whether the recording and reporting of medical equipment was accurate and complete. We evaluated medical equipment accountability, inventory, maintenance, and procurement information at six military treatment facilities and five medical logistics activities in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Qatar. At those 11 locations, we analyzed and compared information to determine whether controls and records were in place to provide continuity and oversight of medical equipment and repair part accountability, maintenance, and procurement functions in theater. The theater lead agent for medical logistics supports military treatment facilities and medical logistics activities; however, the lead agent cannot effectively perform life-cycle management because it does not have visibility or oversight of all theater-wide medical equipment and repair part procurements.
