Foreign Assistance Act, Section 505 (f). Requirements for technologytransfers in sensitive situations.Government of Iraq Section 505 Assurance Letter, August 14, 2004.GoI agreement to provide the same level of security and accountability as the U.S. and topermit the U.S. Government to observe and review items sold under the securityassistance program.DoD 5105.38-M. DoD 5105.38-M, “Security Assistance Management Manual,”provides guidance for the administration and implementation of the security assistanceand related activities in compliance with the Foreign Assistance Act, the Arms ExportControl Act, and related statutes and directives.Night Vision Device Inventory Sample ResultsWe conducted a joint spot inventory of NVDs in Warehouse 1C14 at the Taji NationalDepot.We obtained a list of NVD serial numbers from MNSTC-I in handwritten and Excelspreadsheet format. No comparable Iraqi inventory data was provided. From thoseprintouts, we were able to spot locate individual NVDs by serial number for threeseparate shipment orders: 18330, 18374, and 18740. The data provided did not contain afield indicating the storage location of a particular NVD by pallet, building, or otherlocation, nor did it provide an FMS case identifier or similar data. In addition, there wasno data element which tied a serial number to a specific FMS case delivery. Therefore,we could not determine with certainty whether this was an FMS shipment, an ISFFshipment, or whether the NVDs had been transferred by another U.S. supply mechanism.We then opened boxes contained in two separate storage containers and tried to reconcilethe listed items with handwritten inventory lists, with no success. Further, we copiedserial numbers from a group of 690 NVDs and upon returning to our location could notmatch those numbers to the inventory lists we were provided.MNSTC-I Night Vision Device Assessment TeamIn response to our briefing to the Commanding General, MNF-I on July 21, 2008,MNSTC-I ordered an AR 15-6 investigation into the accountability and control of NVDsprovided to the ISF.The assessment included:• Cataloging procedures existing at the time of NVD transfer, including those fortransfer and accountability, and documentation of same.• Determining whether proper identification and lost or unaccounted for reportingoccurred and the cause for such loss and/or unaccountability of NVDs.• Identifying lost NVDs from existing data and interviews.• Determining how NVDs were lost or how the accountability loss occurred.54
• Corrective actions implemented or required for future loss prevention andaccountability.The investigation revealed there had been a lack of documented NVD accountability,according to the MNSTC-I assessment team’s initial report. Documentation revealed thatof the 40,058 NVDs that had been identified as issued to the ISF, more than 26,000lacked supporting transfer documentation detailing transfer date, serial number, andreceiving Iraqi official, among other information.The MNSTC-I internal review was continuing at the conclusion of our fieldwork.Office of Inspector General, Department of Defense, AssessmentD2008-D00SPO-0271.000On August 19, 2008, the Office of Inspector General announced an “Assessment of theAccountability of Night Vision Devices Provided to the Security Forces of Iraq.” Thiswork began immediately. Specifically, the DoD IG assessment was to determine whetherthe accountability, control, and physical security over the distribution of NVDs providedto the ISF was adequate. The assessment included the areas of contracting andprocurement, transportation and storage, U.S. issuance procedures to the ISF, andoversight support subsequently provided by the ISF.Recommendations, Client Comments, and OurResponse4.a. We recommend that Commander, Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq reconcile night vision devices discrepancies at Taji National Depot betweeninventory data and stocks on-hand consistent with End-Use Monitoring requirements.Client CommentsMNSTC-I concurred. The Commander, MNSTC-I stated that action on thisrecommendation was complete.Our ResponseCommander, MNSTC-I comments were partially responsive. While MNSTC-Iconcurred with the recommendation, its comments failed to describe actions taken toaccomplish the recommendations and show the completion dates of those actions. Werequest that Commander, MNSTC-I provide this information in reply to the final report.4.b. We recommend that Commander, Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq mentor Iraq Security Forces personnel to develop a suitable system foraccountability of night vision devices in accordance with signed agreements and theForeign Assistance Act section 505.55
