INSPECTOR GENERAL DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 4800 MARK CENTER DRIVE ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA 22350-1500 I am pleased to present the Department of Defense Inspector General Semiannual Report to Congress for the reporting period October 1, 2012, through March 31, 2013, issued in accordance with the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended. This year marks the 30th anniversary of DoD IG. Over the course of 30 years, many groundbreak- ing audits, inspections, and investigations have paved the way for reducing fraud, waste, and abuse across the Department. When you consider the projects we have completed over the past 30 years, the positive impact we have made on the Department is truly remarkable. In this report, we highlight a few of those significant projects completed during the reporting pe- riod to include: • Identifying government property valued at roughly $892.3 million that was not being valued or tracked in the Army accountability systems or on financial statements. • Investigating a prime DoD contractor for falsely claiming to be a service-disabled veteran owned small business. • Evaluating the Air Force Accident Investigation Board Report on the F-22A mishap of November 16, 2010, and identifying five deficiencies. • Assessing U.S. and coalition efforts to improve health care conditions and develop sustainable Afghan National Security Forces medical logistics at the Dawood National Military Hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan. Principal Deputy Inspector General In addition, we highlight the DoD Whistleblower Protection Program including our role in issuing Lynne M. Halbrooks. policy and procedures, and the appointment of a DoD whistleblower protection ombudsman. During this reporting period, we issued 64 reports and identified $1.3 billion in potential monetary benefits. DCIS investigations were the basis for 56 arrests, 102 criminal charges, 98 criminal convic- tions, 98 suspensions, and 95 debarments, as well as $1.6 billion returned to the government. The DoD Hotline fielded 16,615 contacts from the public and members of the DoD community. I would like to thank our counterparts who contributed to this report, including the Army Audit Agency, Naval Audit Service, Air Force Audit Agency, U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Air Force Office of Special Investigations, and the Defense Contract Audit Agency. In closing, I want to express my appreciation for the accomplishments of all DoD IG employees and the entire defense oversight community. As we continue to address efficiencies in the Department, I would once again like to thank the Department and Congress for their commitment to supporting the work of our office. Lynne M.
