The objective of this audit was to determine whether the DoD conducted end-use monitoring (EUM) of defense articles transferred to U.S. Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) partner nations in accordance with Federal laws, DoD regulations, and transfer agreements.
We focused our review on the DoD’s oversight of routine EUM and enhanced end‑use monitoring (EEUM)-designated defense articles in the partner nations of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, and Uruguay from FY 2018 through FY 2022 to cover the period before and after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
