Project Announcement: Termination of the Audit of Army Watercraft Systems Program (Project No. D2019-D000RJ-0024.000)

We announced the subject audit on October 16, 2018, (attached). The objective was to determine whether the U.S. Army is maintaining the operational readiness of the U.S. Army watercraft fleet. We are terminating this audit because performing the project would represent inefficient use of resources with minimal return on investment. Specifically, the resources are needed to complete a new higher priority project. We appreciate the courtesies extended to the staff during the planning phase of the audit.

We plan to begin the subject audit in December 2018.

We will consider suggestions from management on additional or revised objectives.
