Audit

The purpose of this memorandum is to notify you that we are initiating the subject audit. The objective of this audit is to determine whether the DoD is effectively implementing modernized tactical data links, specifically Link-16 Advanced Capabilities and Link-22, for major defense acquisition programs in accordance with the DoD Tactical Data Link Modernization Strategy and Roadmap. We may revise the objective as the audit proceeds, and we will also consider suggestions from management for additional or revised objectives.

We plan to perform this audit in accordance with the Government Accountability Office's generally accepted government auditing standards.
We will perform the audit at the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, Office of the DoD Chief Information Officer, and select DoD program management offices. We may identify additional locations during the audit.
