SIGAR Issues Warnings on Afghan National Army Fuel
Program
Arlington, Va. - The Office of Special Inspector General for
Afghanistan Reconstruction today issued two documents warning top
Department of Defense officials of issues related to the Afghan
National Army's petroleum, oil and lubricants (POL) program:
- An interim report announcing that the Combined Security
Transition Command-Afghanistan does not have accurate or
supportable information on how much in U.S. funds are needed for
ANA fuel, where and how the fuel is used, or how much fuel has been
lost or stolen. SIGAR believes these issues warrant immediate
attention, in part because funding levels for ANA fuel are set to
increase, and because beginning on Jan. 1, 2013, a substantial
portion of purchases for the program will be made through direct
payments of U.S. funds to the Afghan government. The report, which
makes several corrective recommendations, may be found here:

- ¦An alert letter announcing that SIGAR has been informed
by the Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan that all
records related to the ANA's POL program, from October 2006 to
February 2011, had been shredded in violation of DOD and Army
policies. The letter, which notes that the matter has been referred
to SIGAR's Investigations Directorate, may be found here:

A broader SIGAR audit of the ANA POL program is underway and
will be published later this year.
