Summary:

Logistical support at the Kwajalein Missile Range in the Marshall Islands is provided through the services of a contractor, Global Associates, under the terms of a cost-plus-award-fee incentive contract awarded by the Army's Ballistic Missile Defense Systems Command in Huntsville, Alabama. The contractor provides a myriad of services to range users, tenant agencies, and about 3,300 resident employees and dependents. The current 3-year contract is expected to cost about $81 million.

Although management has improved in response to recommendations resulting from an earlier review of logistical support, contractor-operated logistical activities in supply, vehicle maintenance and use, and the Army's surveillance of contract operations and control over labor can still be improved. Despite a labor cost of over $46 million in 26 months, monitoring the contractor's use of employees was not being emphasized.
