Following the invasion of Iraq in March 2003--known as Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF)--concerns were raised about how the Department of Defense (DOD) secured Iraqi conventional munitions storage sites during and after major combat operations. This testimony addresses (1) the security provided by U.S. forces over Iraqi conventional munitions storage sites and (2) DOD actions to mitigate risks associated with an adversary's conventional munitions storage sites for future operations on the basis of OIF lessons learned. To address these objectives, GAO reviewed OIF war plans, joint doctrine and policy, intelligence reports, and interviewed senior-level DOD officials. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-639T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-639T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-639T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-639T.pdf GAO-07-639T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-639T Testimony GAO-07-639T; Operation Iraqi Freedom: DOD Should Apply Lessons Learned Concerning the Need for Security over Conventional Munitions Storage Sites to Future Operations Planning; Facility security Lessons learned Military forces Military policies Munitions Policy evaluation Risk assessment Strategic forces Strategic planning Terrorism Warfare Weapons DOD Operation Iraqi Freedom
