For many, the idea of an audit is often met with apprehension and unease. But for Kpakpo Hounzouke-Akue, an auditor with U.S. Army Sustainment Command’s Internal Review and Audit Compliance Office at Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois, it is a routine scheduled event.
A light infantry battalion’s worth of Army Prepositioned Stocks 2 arrived in Komotini, Greece, for DEFENDER 25, and a team of Italian host nation employees, Soldiers and Army Civilians from Leghorn Army Depot in Livorno, Italy, was there to receive the APS-2 tactical vehicles and equipment.

Did you know that the Army gets audited? Well, they do, and it’s for the same reason any large organization might - to ensure accountability and transparency, to improve operations and to account for the use of taxpayer money. At the U.S. Army Sustainment Command, the Internal Review and Audit Compliance Office plays a critical role in ensuring financial and operational accountability.
The Cold War was an era of great uncertainty and technological marvel. It’s somewhat romanticized today as a period where novel ideas were formulated out of the minds that pushed us over the next echelon in technology. And why wouldn’t it? After all, the Cold War era of thinkers helped us push beyond the threshold of standing on Earth and finally make it onto the Moon. However, the ever-present threat of war meant that weapons systems also required innovation and attention.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has provided essential lessons in logistics and supply chain management, including agility, flexibility, and real-time visibility. As the Army reduces its forward troop presence globally and the primary and secondary threats remain high, modernizing Army Prepositioned Stock is crucial to keep pace with Army 2040 and maintain deterrence relevance amidst increasing global projection requirements.
The 405th Army Field Support Brigade’s Logistics Civil Augmentation Program is simultaneously supporting two exercises on the continent of Africa this month. LOGCAP is providing over two dozen base life support services to U.S. servicemembers and nearly 40 partner nations participating in Flintlock 25 in the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire and over a dozen base life support services to U.S. servicemembers and nearly 10 partner nations participating in African Lion 25 in Tunisia.
Three conflicts from 1846 to 1898 encapsulate the rapid innovations in the Army’s ability to project power. The Mexican-American War (1846-48) tested the Army’s ability to project power into foreign territory while ensuring that it was supplied, trained, and manned. The American Civil War (1861-65) tested the Union Army in projecting its force deep into enemy territory while engaging in conflicts on two fronts. The Spanish-American War (1898) was the next greatest test for the American Army, adding the dimension of oceans and fighting in battles half-way around the world. When we think of the Army’s ability to project its power today, however, it is the Spanish-American War that stands out.
