Miscalculations Inflate Military Aid Costs in Far East
GAO report cites miscalculations by both human and electronic systems as a major factor in multimillion-dollar excess costs of military aid. Nearly half a billion dollars of spare parts in Asia and Japan revealed $58 million in unrecorded stock, with $7.4 million ordered unnecessarily due to faulty electronics. Shortages occurred elsewhere as excesses grew, notably rifles and vehicles in Korea held for lack of unreported parts, while Thailand overestimated needs for three and twelve months, leading to mismatched shipments.
