G. Dolvin Commanding General U.S. Army, Japan D C T3 S AeU San Francisco 96343 Dear General Dolvin: The Far East Branch has made a survey of cargo security and accountability procedures in Okinawa. The objectives of our survey were to: (1) identify the nature and scope of Department of Defense4( O 6)S (DOD) cargo security and documentation programs used to control cargo movement into the port and from the port to its various consignees, (2) identify criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the programs, and (3) identify the scope of the cargo losses in Okinawa, At the Naha 2ort and other Army activities in Okinawa we examined cargo security and accountability procedures and records, intervieweo responsible officials and made selective tests on cargo being received. This report presents the results of our survey. In general, we found that there were weaknesses in the paperwork system of cargo accountability, but the most glaring problem is the inadequate follow-through to reconcile discrepancies and affix responsibility. The major areas needing improvement are described below. BACKGROUND The Commander, Military Traffic Management and Terminal Service (MTMIS) is responsible for developing and administering an effective loss and damage prevention program. This responsibility includes compliance with tariffs and regulations concerning loss and damage prevention; training of personnel in prevention procedures and techniques; initiating measures to deter loss and damage; proper documentation and reporting of over, short, astray, damaged freight and other transportation discrepancies. The basic regulation which all organizations follow to effect movement of materiel within the Defense Transportation System is DOD Regulation 4500-32-R, Military Standard Transportation and Movement Procedures (MILSTAMP).
