Afghanistan may have lost track of more than 200,000 weapons
By Thomas Gibbons-Neff July 28, 2014

Since 2004, the United States has supplied the fledgling Afghan Nation Security Forces with everything from uniforms to transport aircraft, but a new inspector general report finds that officials might have lost track of more than 43 percent of the 474,823 small arms supplied to the ANSF.

The Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction compared two information systems that track weapons transfers from the United Sates to Afghanistan and found major discrepancies between the two, according to a report released Monday.

The first system, the Security Cooperation Information Portal (SCIP), is used by the Department of Defense to track the shipment of weapons from the United States to the ANSF. The second system, Operation Verification of Reliable Logistics Oversight Database (OVERLORD), tracks the receipt of the weapons in Afghanistan.

Both SCIP and OVERLORD require manual data entry and are not linked together, so when SIGAR reviewed both systems, it found that some weapon serial numbers were not only duplicated, but were incomplete or did not match each another. Both OVERLORD and SCIP contained more than 50,000 serial numbers with no shipping or receiving dates.

As well as inspecting the records of SCIP and OVERLORD, SIGAR audited the book-keeping of a number of Afghan supply depots.

At the Afghan army’s Central Supply Depot, the inspector general found that 551 of 4,388 weapons listed in an inventory record, or “property book,” did not match a physical count of the inventory. Among the weapons documented but not present: 24 M2 .50 caliber heavy machine guns and 24 bolt action M48 sniper rifles.

The inventory provided only the total count for certain weapon types and not individual serial numbers. A U.S. military armory, by contrast, not only requires serial numbers for every weapon on site but the serial numbers for every accessory that might be attached to that weapon, including scopes and night-vision devices.

One audit by SIGAR, at the 1st Afghan National Civil Order Police Garrison, yielded only a partial handwritten list of serial numbers for a number of Kalashnikovs.

Aside from record mismanagement and the the apparent loss of countless small arms, the SIGAR report also found that the ANSF has more weapons than are actually called for by the Afghan government’s official list of requirements for the security forces.

That list, known as the Tashkil, originally called for both NATO-standard weapons, like the M-16, and NATO non-standard weapons, like the AK-47. After 2010, however, the Afghan Defense Ministry decided that using only NATO standard weapons would be more beneficial due to supply and maintenance concerns.

This shift in requirements has left the ANSF with a surplus of more than 83,000 AK-47s, 9,000 RPK light machine guns and 5,000 GP-25 under barrel grenade launchers.

In response the SIGAR report, a top Pentagon official did not dispute the findings but said that an effort to reconcile the two weapons-tracking systems was ongoing. The United States, said Michael Dumont, a deputy assistant secretary of defense, does not have the authority to recover or destroy any excess Afghan weapons but can help the Afghans determine “disposition options.”

“DoD will remain engaged in addressing these critical weapons accountability issues as we continue to train, advise and assist the ASNF in the years to come,” Dumont said.

Come on first you accept your guilt .

And afghans are just standing in their own feets after decades of militancy and invasion . Its very easy to find a bad apple but they will mature . And what it has to do with Pakistan weapons ending up in Afghanistan while military carrying out ops and how the hell US GPS ended up in kashmir ?

Oh yes am waiting for another example of yoirs to avoid the question:D

How Missing American Guns Might Be Fueling Terrorists In Afghanistan

Over the past decade, the U.S. has poured unimaginable amounts of money into training and equipping Afghanistan’s army. Now, the Department of Defense office in charge of auditing the process is saying many of the 747,000 weapons given to the ANSF have gone missing and could end up fueling escalating attacks by Taliban insurgents if they fall into the wrong hands.

On Monday, the Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), charged with ensuring efficiency and preventing fraud, reported that it discovered a significant lack of accountability on both the part of the U.S. and Afghanistan’s military, the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF), in tracking the hundreds of thousands of weapons the U.S has sold to Afghanistan since 2004. According to the report, the Pentagon set up two inventory systems to track the weapons in 2010, but incompatibilities between the programs led to “missing serial numbers, inaccurate shipping and receiving dates, and duplicate records,” that produced a logistical nightmare and caused some weapons to go missing even before they were shipped abroad.

The situation only gets worse inside Afghanistan. The report states that ANSF officials rarely take inventory of all the weapons they receive, and often by the time they do, many have already gone missing. As if poor record-keeping wasn’t enough, the real danger comes from the army’s inability to properly dispose of weapons, thousands of which have been piling up in excess as the ANSF attempts to scale down its huge supplies. Afghanistan’s military received 83,000 more AK-47s than needed in 2013 alone. Overwhelming numbers of extra weapons aren’t just a waste of money; they also threaten to trade hands and bolster the anti-government insurgents the U.S. and ANSF have been battling for years.

“U.S. and Coalition–provided weapons are at risk of theft, loss, or misuse,” the report said. “We’re very concerned,” John Sopko, the Inspector General, said in the report. “Weapons paid for by U.S. taxpayers could wind up in the hands of insurgents and be used to kill Americans and Afghan troops and civilians.” 465,000 of the weapons sold to the ANSF are small arms such as rifles, grenade launchers, and machine guns. These are the weapons of choice for terrorists because they are highly portable and can be used in guerrilla combat.

Although Afghanistan is nowhere near returning to the state collapse of the 1990s that gave rise to the Taliban regime, which the U.S. overthrew in 2001, Kabul’s control over outlying districts has definitely started to fray over the past year. While insurgents haven’t been able to capture any major towns or cities yet, they have mounted increasingly large attacks and cost the ANSF a record number of casualties in 2013. Still, President Karzai has refused to sign the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) that would permit a limited number of international and U.S. troops to remain in Afghanistan after December 2014. Though both men vying to replace Karzai have pledged to sign the BSA, in the event that the current political turmoil in Afghanistan prevents that, it will leave the international community with little choice but to let Afghanistan fend for itself.

While the U.S. supplies huge amounts of military aid across the globe, it has been less keen on developing nonproliferation programs with other U.N. member states to stop the illicit trade in small arms. In 2001, the U.S. and a small group of states including China, Cuba, India, Iran, Israel, Pakistan and Russia voted to block the creation of a more comprehensive system for monitoring weapons proliferation. They argued that existing standards set up under international law were doing enough to check the illegal flow of weapons. But a look at the growing power of insurgencies over the past several years suggests otherwise. Infamous terrorist groups like ISIS have stunned the world by overpowering well equipped armies, often using illegally smuggled or captured weapons.

Ultimately, ensuring accountability over future arms sales may do more to counter terrorism around the globe than dumping huge shipments of weapons on foreign armies incapable of tracking them.

Missing in action: US lost military supplies worth $420 million in Afghanistan

An internal Pentagon audit revealed that the US army in Afghanistan has failed to account for a vast amount of military equipment, including vehicles, advanced weapons systems and even encryption technology.
TagsArms, Military, NATO, Politics, Terrorism, Afghanistan, USA, Robert Bridge, War, Army
The investigation discovered that last year 156,000 pieces of military equipment worth almost half-a-billion dollars has been lost, but did not conclude whether the missing supplies could have fallen into enemy hands.

The report criticized Army officials at the main American bases - Bagram Airfield, the largest US base in the country, and at Kandahar - for poor accounting and oversight, concluding that "no one was held financially responsible for the property losses or accountable for missed reporting deadlines.”

Major General Darrell Williams, head of the Army's 1st Sustainment Command, said in an attached letter to the report that his unit "continues to actively work with strategic commands to improve property management" and understood the need to recruit "responsible officers to manage the massive property requirements in theater," he wrote.

However, considering that the US Army fielded an estimated $27 billion worth of military equipment in Afghanistan over a 13-year period, the lost supplies represents around 1.5 percent of the total. Due to the military’s failure to report the inventory losses on time, there is a higher likelihood that the missing government property “will not be recovered,” the report said.

The report mentioned several reasons as to why the Army failed to report the missing inventory “in a timely manner,” including that “The Army Sustainment Command does not have accurate accountability and visibility of property in Afghanistan; there is an increased risk that missing property will not be recovered; and no one was held financially responsible for the property losses or accountable for missed reporting deadlines.”
Hundreds of millions of dollars of missing military inventory, however, may seem like a drop in the bucket for the US Army, which has already spent $7 billion on the Afghan withdrawal. The Pentagon said an additional $7 billion may be required before the wind down is complete by year’s end.

The report also revealed that between 2006 and 2010, the Pentagon lost a total of 133,557 pieces of equipment valued at $238.4 million, Bloomberg reported.

Despite the withdrawal, the United States still maintains dozens of military bases and outposts scattered around the Central Asian country (a drop from 850 in 2012). About 10,000 US soldiers are expected to remain in the country after the December deadline.

Karen Kwiatkowski, a retired US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel who is now a critic of US foreign policy, said that aside from the possibility that some of the missing equipment will be found, or was broken and discarded, some of it probably was sold.

I’m sure that when they finish this investigation…they will find that certain people have sold equipment,” Kwiatkowski told RT. “I’m sure that they’ll find some criminal activity has happened.”

The former US officer also mentioned the possibility that the missing inventory was stolen by US allies.

“Possibly, some of it has been stolen from us,” she said. “Not so much sold by Americans, but stolen from us by our allies, by the Afghan Army and by the people we’re working with.”

Whatever did happen to the missing equipment, Kwiatkowski seemed certain of one thing: “In reality, there’s probably a lot more missing than what’s been reported by this inspector general’s report.”
 
Come on first you accept your guilt .

And afghans are just standing in their own feets after decades of militancy and invasion . Its very easy to find a bad apple but they will mature . And what it has to do with Pakistan weapons ending up in Afghanistan while military carrying out ops and how the hell US GPS ended up in kashmir ?

June 20 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. and Afghan forces have lost track of hundreds of night-vision goggles used to hunt the Taliban, raising the odds of the high-technology eyewear falling into enemy hands, according to the Pentagon’s inspector general.

A lack of adequate supervision of the goggles, which were purchased for the Afghan Army and police, means U.S. and Afghan soldiers “may be at greater security risk during night missions in Afghanistan,” according to a report from the inspector general dated June 18.

“Improving accountability will decrease vulnerabilities to theft or loss of night-vision devices,” Jacqueline Wicecarver, assistant inspector general for acquisition and contract management, said in a memorandum accompanying the report.

Defense and NATO officials, Afghan security forces and defense contractors “did not maintain complete accountability” for 7,157 night-vision goggles and spare parts purchased for Afghan forces, the report found. Those goggles are now “more vulnerable to theft or loss,” the GAO said.

The report cited hundreds of missing serial numbers, 518 “discrepancies” and 75 goggles that were “unaccounted for during our physical inventory.”

Defense officials said they would “continue to improve accountability procedures,” according to the report.
