Policy and Oversight - Inspections and Evaluations
Afghanistan
 Kabul, Afghanistan – A DoD IG Inspections and Evaluations (I&E) team develops an assessment model to measure the progress of the Afghanistan Ministry of Defense (MOD) and the National Army (ANA) toward building a “stable, viable, and self-sustaining institution.”
A seven-member team from the OIG Headquarters spent 31 days during June and July 2005 in Afghanistan in response to a “request for assistance” from the U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad. The I&E team created an interactive, virtual Management Decision Model (MDM) that describes over 660 elements that should be considered when evaluating the organizational capability and readiness capacity of the MOD and ANA.
During the exit briefing, General Karl Eikenberry, the Commanding General of the Combined Forces Command-Afghanistan (CFC-A) expressed his gratitude to the IG team, adding, “This is exactly what we needed.” Colonel Mark Van Der Lande, U.K. Army and Deputy Commander for the Office of Military Cooperation-Afghanistan, described the MDM as “brilliant and very sophisticated.”
The respective CFC-A and MOD staffs plan to use the model to conduct periodic “health checks” to determine when the MoD and ANA achieve full administrative and operational capability. When that occurs—our troops can come home.

 Baghdad, Iraq - DoD OIG Inspections and Evaluations partners with Department of State IG to conduct an interagency assessment of the Iraq Police Training program. A six-member team drawn from the inspections offices of both Inspectors General spent approximately five weeks in February and March 2005 intensively reviewing training programs in Jordan and Iraq. The interagency team concluded that although Iraqi police are not able to provide security throughout the country, Coalition training programs have achieved qualified success.
Before departing Iraq in March, the team debriefed General George Casey (CG, Multinational Forces – Iraq), LTG David Petraeus (CG, Multinational Security Transition Command – Iraq), and Ambassador James Jeffrey (Deputy Chief of Mission, Baghdad) of their preliminary observations. During the debrief, General Casey remarked “…this is the most intelligent conversation I have had on the subject in quite a while.” A draft report, forwarded in May to those organizations responsible for Iraqi police training programs, solicited management comments. The Inspectors General noted that action had already been initiated responding to many of the recommendations made in the report.
The interagency report, entitled, “Interagency DoD-DOS IG Assessment of Iraqi Police Training,” which makes 30 primary recommendations for improving the police training effort, is available on the Internet at the Department of State Inspector General and Department of Defense Inspector General web sites at http://oig.state.gov and http://www.dodig.mil.

CENTCOM AOR—DoD OIG Inspections and Evaluations responds to Congressional request regarding media reports and comments about perceived lack of support for Reserve Component units deployed internationally in the Global War on Terrorism.
A nine-member team from the OIG Headquarters and the National Guard Bureau Inspector General’s office recently completed an evaluation of the support provided to mobilized Army National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve units in selected areas of logistics. The evaluation focused on adequacy of support and perceptions of AC to RC disparity, specifically in the areas of potable water, Organizational Clothing and Equipment (DCUs and desert boots), food/food service, in-theater medical/dental care, and access to communications with family members.
Although the Army encountered significant logistical challenges to initiate and conduct sustained land combat operations in OEF and OIF, the team concluded that support was adequate in the areas evaluated. There was no evidence of systemic disparity between support provided to reserve component soldiers and to active component soldiers, beyond the disparities “by design” associated with the tiered readiness system.
The team made fourteen recommendations in the areas of:
• Publication and policy changes.
• Leadership.
• Metrics.
• Quality Assurance.
