The method of transportation for DoD cargo shipments should be the mode that satisfactorily meets DoD requirements at the overall lowest cost to the Government. Transportation officers were responsible for determining the mode of shipping cargo, whether surface or air, based on supply priorities and required delivery dates, as established by requisitioners. One audit objective was to determine whether the Military Departments and the Defense Logistics Agency have implemented effective air challenge programs to restrict the unnecessary use of air transportation for DoD shipments. Other objectives were to evaluate the feasibility of directly charging requisitioners for the cost of air transportation; to follow up on a recommendation in Inspector General, Department of Defense, Report No. 88-041, 'Express Cargo Movement Within the Department of Defense', October 20, 1987, concerning standard weight threshold challenge criteria for air eligible cargo; and to determine if shipments made under Government bill of ladings aboard commercial aircraft had effective air challenge procedures. We also evaluated applicable internal controls.
