Evaluation of Security and Accountability Controls for Defense Items Transferred to Ukraine Through Romania

(U) Rec. 1: The DoD OIG recommended that the Defense Security Cooperation Agency Director update Chapter 7 of the Security Assistance Management Manual to include a requirement that U.S. personnel conduct and record a detailed inventory of defense items purchased outside of the continental United States and provided to a foreign government under Foreign Military Financing at the point of title transfer, similar to the requirements for defense items provided under Chapter 15. At a minimum, the inventory should include written documentation of observed item counts, as well as signatures demonstrating the agreement of both the U.S. and the partner nation for the quantities of defense articles transferred.
