Project Announcement: Follow-up Evaluation of the DoD’s Tracking and Accountability of Presidential Drawdown Equipment Provided to Taiwan (Project No. D2025-DEV0PC-0128.000)

Evaluation

The purpose of this memorandum is to notify you that we are initiating the subject evaluation. The objective of this evaluation is to determine whether the DoD effectively and efficiently implemented accountability and quality controls for the movement and delivery of defense articles provided to Taiwan using the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA). 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 Travis Air Force Base, California; Joint Base Lewis–McChord, Washington; and seaports of embarkation and other military installations or equipment sites in the continental United States. We may identify additional organizations and locations during the evaluation.
