Controls Over Tools and Parts for Commercial-Type Vehicles at Fort Eustis, VA

Gao ID: PLRD-82-120 September 17, 1982

GAO evaluated the controls of commercial-type vehicles at the motor pool of the Army Transportation Command. The review was part of a recently completed survey of controls used at Government motor pools to prevent loss and theft of automotive tools and parts.

GAO found that the motor pool's control over spare parts and related equipment was inadequate. Specifically, the motor pool had neither accurate records of its spare tires, jacks, and lug wrenches nor adequate procedures to prevent or detect any loss of those items. GAO concluded that the Army has begun improving such controls, but problems still remain.
