Abstract:

As part of the Audit of Requisitions in Support of Operation Desert Storm Project No. 1LE-5003, we reviewed Army inventory control points ICPs adjustments to logistical requirements after hostilities ended. One of the objectives of the overall audit was to evaluate the effect of Operation Desert ShieldStorm ODS requisitions on the DOD wholesale supply systems inventory requirements. The Army ICPs initiated large cutbacks in previously approved purchases after ODS. However, our review revealed that additional cutbacks could be made because logistical requirements for stocks were not adequately adjusted to exclude ODS demands and to allow wholesale inventories to deflate to levels appropriate to support peacetime operating forces.
