The objective of the audit was to determine the effectiveness of the process for procuring and leasing nontactical vehicles at Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan. We analyzed the process for procuring and for leasing nontactical vehicles, the justifications for them, and compliance with DoD guidance on their management. We reviewed records maintained by the Regional Contracting Center Bagram, the Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF)-82, and the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) for nontactical vehicles, consisting of cars and trucks. We analyzed the costs of operating these vehicles and justifications for their use by tenant units at Bagram Air Field. We performed our audit fieldwork from November 2007 until January 2008. DCMA had not purchased nontactical vehicles under the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) since May 2006. The nontactical vehicles that were purchased were used to support base operations. Justifications were provided for the purchased nontactical vehicles. The CJTF-82, Logistics Office (CJ4) provided information that there was growth in the number of leased nontactical vehicles on Bagram Air Field from March 2006 until January 2008. Specifically, CJ4 officials stated that the number of leased nontactical vehicles increased from 102 to 1, 548. During that time, CJTF-82 did not comply with provisions of the DoD Regulation 4500.36-R, Management, Acquisition, and Use of Motor Vehicles, dated March 16, 2007. Thus, Bagram Air Field became congested with traffic. Documentation for the justification of the leases of nontactical vehicles ranged from providing specific purposes to citing the words vehicle lease, or a justification was not provided. In addition, documentation for lease justifications did not consider the local DoD bus service. We estimated the additional annual cost of the growth of leased nontactical vehicles from March 2006 until January 2008 was approximately $16 million. On April 10, 2008, CJTF- 101 took command from CJTF-82.
