The Army Did Not Have Assurance That Heavy Lift Contractors in Kuwait Complied With Contract Requirements DODIG-2017-035
We determined whether the DoD provided effective oversight of the Army Heavy Lift contracts in Kuwait. The Heavy Lift program provides commercial transportation services for moving Army equipment, cargo, and personnel throughout Kuwait. The Heavy Lift program is used in support of Operation Inherent Resolve.
The Army uses four contractors to fulfill its heavy lift transportation requirements, with each contractor performing under a separate contract. Because the Heavy Lift program is in its seventh iteration, these contracts are referred to as the Heavy Lift VII (HL7) contracts.
