U.S. Central and U.S. Africa Commands’ Oversight of Counternarcotics Activities DODIG-2018-059

We determined whether U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) and U.S. Africa Command (USAFRICOM) effectively provided oversight of counternarcotics (CN) activities. A prior DoD OIG report, issued in September 2017, focused on the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for CN and Global Threats’ (ODASD CN&GT) oversight of CN activities.

Subsequently, we conducted this audit to review the oversight of CN activities at USCENTCOM and USAFRICOM to provide a broader understanding of how the DoD executes its CN program.
