GAO issued its first comprehensive report examining these problems in June 2003. Because of the broad congressional interest in U.S. military operations in Iraq and DOD's increasing use of contractors to support U.S. forces in Iraq, GAO initiated this follow-on review under the Comptroller General's statutory authority. Specifically, GAO's objective was to determine the extent to which DOD has improved its management and oversight of contractors supporting deployed forces since our 2003 report. GAO reviewed DOD policies and interviewed military and contractor officials both at deployed locations and in the United States. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-145/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-145.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-145/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-145.pdf GAO-07-145 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-145 Other Written Product GAO-07-145; Military Operations: High-Level DOD Action Needed to Address Long-standing Problems with Management and Oversight of Contractors Supporting Deployed Forces; Contract administration Contract oversight Contract performance Contracting officers Defense capabilities Department of Defense contractors Equipment contracts Logistics Military operations Military training Service contracts Policy evaluation Support services Army Logistics Civil Augmentation Program
