Audit
The objective of this audit was to assess the effectiveness of the DoD's management of relocatable facilities in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), including justifying and approving the use of, maintaining a tracking system for, and developing exit plans to discontinue the use of relocatable facilities. We limited our review to the relocatable facilities USINDOPACOM maintains in Hawaii.
DoD officials did not effectively manage the 178 relocatable facilities in USINDOPACOM that we reviewed. Specifically, DoD officials did not adequately document the justification and approval for 135 of the relocatable facilities; request and obtain extensions for continued use for 42 relocatable facilities for which DoD officials provided initial approval; establish plans to discontinue the use of 43 relocatable facilities; document fire inspections for 46 relocatable facilities; or report the required facility information to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment (OASD[EI&E]).
