The purpose of this memorandum is to notify you that we are initiating the subject evaluation. The objective of this evaluation is to determine the extent to which the U.S. Northern Command and the Army are effectively sustaining the Stryker Brigade Combat Team (BCT) deployed to the Southern Border. We may revise the objective as the evaluation proceeds, and we will also consider suggestions from management for additional or revised objectives. We plan to perform this evaluation in accordance with the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency “Quality Standards for Inspection and Evaluation.”
We will perform the evaluation at the deployed locations of the Stryker Brigade Combat Team and Joint Task Force–Southern Border. We may identify additional locations during the evaluation.
