It identifies oversight conducted by the OIG during the past 6 months, which demonstrates the importance of our efforts to detect and deter fraud, waste, and abuse in DoD programs and operations; to seek to improve the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of DoD programs; and to help ensure ethical conduct throughout the DoD. During the past 6 months, the OIG issued a total of 55 reports, including several significant audits and evaluations. Of particular note, the OIG issued a “Compendium of Open Office of Inspector General Recommendations to the Department of Defense,” Acting Inspector General which summarized all recommendations issued to DoD Components that remained Glenn A. Fine open as of March 31, 2017. Of the 1,298 open recommendations, 58 have associated potential monetary benefits, which if implemented, potentially could have saved the DoD billions of dollars. This compendium received significant attention throughout the DoD, and spurred corrective action on many of the open recommendations, which was its intended purpose. This reporting period, our Audit component issued 40 reports that identified $202 million in questioned costs and $3.3 million funds put to better use. Our Policy and Oversight component issued eight evaluation reports addressing its oversight of audit, investigative, and technical issues in the DoD, including a follow up evaluation of military housing inspections in Korea and Japan. Our Special Plans and Operations component issued four reports. Our Intelligence and Special Program Assessments component released three reports, all three of which were classified. Our Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS) opened 468 cases, closed 465 cases, and has 1,623 ongoing investigations. These criminal cases primarily addressed allegations of procurement fraud, public corruption, product substitution, health care fraud, illegal transfer of technology, and cyber crimes. DCIS cases resulted in total receivables and recoveries of $1.1 billion. Additionally, DCIS investigations resulted in $763.7 million in civil judgments and settlements; $77.5 million in criminal fines, penalties, and restitution ordered; and $293.1 million in administrative recoveries. In our Administrative Investigations (AI) component, the DoD Hotline received 7,106 contacts, opened 4,182 cases, and closed 4,056 cases. During the reporting period, AI received 399 senior official complaints and 904 whistleblower reprisal and restriction complaints, and closed 387 senior official and 864 whistleblower reprisal and restriction complaints. We also continue our important responsibilities as the Lead Inspector General for two overseas contingency operations—Operation Inherent Resolve and Operation Freedom’s Sentinel. We work closely with our OIG partners from the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development, as well as with the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, to provide coordinated oversight and reporting over these contingency operations. This continuous joint oversight among Federal Inspectors General is unique in the Federal Inspector General community, and is representative of an important “whole of government” approach to oversight of overseas contingency operations. This report also includes oversight work performed by other members of the Defense Accountability Community. We thank them for their ongoing contributions toward our shared responsibilities to providing effective oversight of DoD operations. The significant work included in this Semiannual Report demonstrates our commitment to conducting independent and objective oversight throughout the DoD. Glenn A.

Seapower protects the American way of life. -A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower Every danger of a military character to which the United States is exposed can be met best outside her own territory-at sea. -Rear Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan n 2007 the U.S. Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy issued A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower, representing the first time the three services I jointly crafted a maritime strategy. The document stresses the naval services' mutual commitment to protecting the homeland and winning and preventing wars. Proliferation of weapons and information technology to transnational threats and rogue states poses an increasing range of threats to U.S. security interests. In addition to threats from kinetic weapons, hybrid warfare threats (e.g., financial, cyber) pose new challenges for the sea services, demanding a coordinated strategy and response. To better understand how responsibility for security in the maritime domain is shared among the sea services, this chapter describes organization, mis­ sion, and capabilities of each. 157 158 Naval Officer's Guide The Department of the Navy The Department of the Navy (DON) is to "be organized, trained, and equipped primarily for prompt and sustained combat incident to operations at sea'' (Navy Regulations art. 0202).

All IGs also generally met goals related to the received over 12,000 contacts from quality of investigations. However, about 85 percent of DODIG reprisal and potential whistleblowers related to senior official misconduct investigations exceeded statutory and internal fraud, waste, abuse, employee timeliness goals. Further, military service IGs did not meet most goals for misconduct, or other violations. The handling cases within prescribed timeframes. For example, the service IGs National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 included a provision averaged between 17 and 84 days to notify DODIG of their receipt of for GAO to review the integrity of whistleblower reprisal allegations, exceeding the 10-day goal.
