Product Details

The Chief of Contracting for the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) responsible for all U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) contracting in 12 African nations has reviewed the results of several audits and inspections, including his own, on the state of DoD contracting in expeditionary environments. The reports are anything but encouraging. It is clear that the contracting operations at CJTF-HOA are on the verge of system and operational failure. He knows that several follow-up audits are planned throughout the year, so he does not have much time to show some results.
