Observation 1. Assistance to the Ministry of Defenseand Ministry of Interior in Accounting for and ManagingWeapons and Ammunition 11We counted a total of 915 weapons at 3 Iraqi warehouse storage locations. We identified899 serial numbers accurately recorded in Excel inventory spreadsheets for an accuracyrate of 98.25 percent, and 16 serial numbers inaccurately recorded for a discrepancy rateof 1.75 percent, when those counts were compared to the Ministry of Defense (MoD) andMinistry of Interior (MoI) Excel spreadsheet databases.There was no warehouse management system at Baghdad Police College (BPC) and TajiNational Army Depot (NAD) to readily link the location of a particular lot or serialnumber sequence of weapons to a specific bin or location within a particular warehouse.Although the Iraqis could identify the specific warehouse in which certain items werelocated, finding the item in the warehouse usually involved a manual search.The weapons serial number discrepancies occurred because the Iraqis had not yetimplemented a quality control system to verify and maintain data integrity of recordedserial numbers of weapons at the time of initial entry into existing warehouse databasesand thereafter.The inability to easily determine precise locations of materiel in a particular warehouseoccurred because there was no system to link the various Excel spreadsheets orhandwritten paper documents (displaying items by type of supply) into a masterwarehouse management system that could provide warehouse, storage and bin locations,and a capability to update inventory balances.As indicated by the discrepancy rates identified in our inventory counts of weapons serialnumbers, there was the potential for weapons serial numbers to be inaccurately recordedand for weapons to become misplaced, lost, or stolen.Further, without an operable warehouse management system, there will be a likelydegradation of asset visibility resulting in supply chain inefficiencies and a weakenedinventory management control process, with the potential for misplacement, loss, or theftof supply commodities.Applicable CriteriaMulti-National Security Transition Command-Iraq (MNSTC-I) advisors and trainerswere involved in mentoring the processes for weapons and ammunition accountabilityand general warehouse management at BPC, Taji NAD, and Kirkush Military Training11 We discussed the accountability of arms and ammunition in Observations A. through K. contained withinDoD IG Report No. SPO-2008-001, “Assessment of the Accountability of Arms and Ammunition Providedto the Security Forces of Iraq,” July 3, 2008.31
