CORRUPTION AT THE GENERAL ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE (GAO)

Friday, May 20, 2011

MORE MATERIAL OMISSIONS BY THE GAO

The army paid the Center for Naval Analysis (CNA) over $900,000.00 to conduct a survey of over 2,600 soldiers fresh off combat. We highlighted portions of the CNA report below in blue. However, all GAO could dig up, and to make us look bad is the following in red:
December 2006: The Center for Naval Analysis released an Army-sponsored study that sought to obtain a broader understanding of soldiers’ views about their small arms in combat. One of the conclusions reached in the report was that soldiers had confidence in the reliability of their small arms, irrespective of whether the small arms lubricant was approved or not.

Background: Project Manger, Soldier Weapons (PMSW) asked the Center for Naval Analysis, (CNA) Corporation to conduct a formal independent review of Soldier perspectives on their small arms in combat situations. The report, Soldiers Perspectives on Small Arms in Combat, Dec 2006, compiled the results of over 2,600 surveys of Soldiers who had engaged in a firefight in Iraq or Afghanistan and then returned to America within the previous 12 months.
Bottom Line Up Front: Confidence in the reliability of Army weapons doubles and weapon stoppages decrease by 50% when using MILITEC-1 dry lubricant versus the Army issued CLP wet lubricant.
Point 1. “Using a dry lubricant on the M4 decreased the probability of experiencing a stoppage by half.” 1
Point 2. “Soldiers using a non-Army issued lubricant were almost two times more likely to report confidence in the reliability of their weapon. M9 users were over 21 times more likely to report confidence in weapon reliability if they reported using a non-Army issued lubricant.” 2
Point 3. “Frequency of disassembled cleanings had no effect on the occurrence of stoppages.” 3
Point 4. “Soldiers reporting a high frequency of lube application (one or more times per day) were more likely to experience stoppages.” 4
Findings and Discussion:
Point 1. “Using a dry lubricant on the M4 decreased the probability of experiencing a stoppage by half.” 5 The study found that 62% of all Soldiers still use the Army approved CLP. Of the 38% of Soldiers using other lubricants, 55% use MILITEC-1.
Point 2. “Soldiers using a non-Army issued lubricant were almost two times more likely to report confidence in the reliability of their weapon. M9 users were over 21 times more likely to report confidence in weapon reliability if they reported using a non-Army issued lubricants” 6 . With weapons jamming 19-30% of the time in engagement with the enemy,7 it is imperative to adopt the lessons learned by our front line troops.
Point 3. “Frequency of disassembled cleanings had no effect on the occurrence of stoppages.” 8 This is in direct contradiction of what RDECOM advocates. RDECOM position is to clean the weapon 4-8 times a day, because “the one time you didn’t clean it may be the time it jams.” 9
Point 4. “Soldiers reporting a high frequency of lube application (one or more times per day) were more likely to experience stoppages.” 10 This directly contradicts RDECOM’s position not just to apply CLP more than one time a day, but also to “over-lube” weapons. The findings in the 2003-2005 RDECOM Army Research Lab study, which incidentally served as the instrument to revoke MILITEC-1’s NSNs, were, “The facts are that the minimal lubrication had the highest amount of failure and jamming, while the heavy lubricated weapon had the least amount of failure.”11
Point 5. “Over 50% of soldiers utilizing the M4 and M16 reported that they never experienced a stoppage while in theater…” 12 That means 40+% did have stoppages in theater.
Point 6. “Soldiers who frequently performed quick wipe down cleanings experienced more stoppages.” 13 This is a direct contradiction to RDECOM’s position using CLP up to 8 times a day.
Point 7. “Soldiers issued weapon cleaning kits were less likely to experience stoppages and more likely to be confident in weapon reliability,” 14 but only 64% of Soldiers are issued weapon cleaning kits. 15
This study supports Militec, Inc’s position and is also consistent with other official reports involving interviews with combat troops concerning their equipment.
This study is further evidence that the DoD IG Report dated November 2, 2006 was influenced by the supporters of Military Specifications that do not want competition or change in their organization.

GAO IGNORING REPORTS FROM TROOPS ABOUT LIVES BEING SAVED

38 warfighters emails sent to GAO on the 13th of October 2008. I will continue to post emails that GAO discounts for political reasons.  If thousands of emails all saying the same thing are not relevent, then what is relevent to GAO? Please recal, GAO could not find the rules governing NSN approval during the 90's, so GAO disregards the thousands of specific emails, and mentions lubricant additive (s) over 50 times in their audit since GAO was unable to answer Rep Hoyer's specific and easy to understand request that governs millions of products currently in use. Militec provided GAO with the rules in the early 90's. The rules for NSN approval in the 90's that GAO could not find were orders being submitted from a variety of federal agencies and over time. This way, DLA could estimate the demand.
 
I hope the GAO IG can shed some light on Mr. Westheimer's mentioning of lubricant additives over 50 times has to do with the rules governing the appproval and cancellations of NSN's dating back to the early nineties. If GAO can't find out how NSN's were issued by DLA to millions of products during the nineties, how can these same folks be trusted on other audits?
 
I will be posting questions for the GAO IG to ask Allen Westheimer (the aircraft wiring expert) and William Solis (who reported me to the police over an email post on this Blog) that should help the IG if the IG is honest. Since the IG would not tell me if an investigation is warranted is troubling and is consistent with government employees acting like they are little kings protecting their kingdom.

       My name is Adam xx and Im currently assigned to 1-161st FA BN for my second tour to Iraq.  I was in OIF 3 with 137th INF BN.  Both are part of the Kansas Army National Guard.  During my first tour in Iraq I never had a weapons malfunction from which I strongly believe was from excellent weapons maintenance.  I could not have had that quality for any weapon had it not been for your product.  Weapons are our lives over there and for that I ask your help.  If I could afford it I would personally buy every soldier here a bottle of Militec oil.  If you can in anyway shape or form help me and my fellow comrades so that they too can experience the same as myself on their first deployment, it would be greatly appreciated. 

There is approximately 130 of us deploying in my assigned company.  I personally prefer the 1oz, bottles as it can be kept virtually anywhere on you and taken on patrols.  Thank you for any help or even response you can give me, and thank you for your ongoing support of the US Military!

My name is 1LT James xx. My National Guard unit recently came back from Iraq and we ditched our CLP for Miltech. I am really not sure how we were able to get it. My supply guys must have worked some magic since the government won't buy it. It really kept the sand out and our weapons working. I believe it can help save lives in the military. Now I need some more for myself and fellow soldiers at home. Can you send me 10 of the 1oz. bottles? Those are about perfect for our cleaning kits. I am instructing other soldiers from the unit to do the same. I understand you are trying to get a government contract for your product. I really hope you can. Your product really works. Can you really send it for free? You guys are awesome! God Bless!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for creating such a quality dry lubricant.  As soldiers, our lives depend on products such as yours. We know that your product is top of the line.  Would it be possible for you to send a some of your product to our Company, it would be greatly appreciated. I am a Gunner in an M1A2 SEP tank and a gunner on an 1114, and we have 2 infantry platoons attached to us.  We would need a big supply if you are able to send it. Every soldier carries at least 2 weapons and the NCO's usually have 3 to include their 9mm's.   So here is a break down of what we have.
105 soldiers
With at least 200 weapons of various calibers.
We are finding out rust is a major problem besides the sand this time of the year.
Any Help you can give to this Company is greatly appreciated.

Brad,
  I would like to thank you for your wonderful product.  I have returned from my OIF-IV deployment in Ar Ramadi, Iraq.  I can say A Company 3/103 Ar used this product exclusively on all of our weapons such as:  M16A4, M16M4, M249, M240B, 9MM, M2 .50 CAL, M240 (tank) MK-19, Mossberg 500.  We were caught in many firefights with the insurgents and Militech never left us down irregardless of the weather conditions.  I would like to use this product now since I am at home with my new unit.  I know we won’t fire as much as we did there but I want to institute your product on my stateside weapons.  My unit is HHC 4/103 INF and we have 200 soldiers here.  I would greatly apprecitate it if I could have some to show the soldiers who did not deploy what a wonderful product this is.  A case of each would be sufficient for the unit if you can do this.  A supply of that number would last us for years here in the states.

 Brad, Thanks a million for what you are doing for the soldiers! I've never seen someone post instructions to call them at home, so they could send an expensive product to someone for free. It's people like you that make this country great! Thanks again! I am a Plt Ldr in a 180 person company of National Guard soldiers, about half of which are voluntarily redeploying. These soldiers are also the folks who make America great. Our supply Sgt told me he would try to order Militec, but he wasn't sure if our state would have funding for us as it's the end of the year,etc,etc... I use Militec on my personal weapons and my city issued sidearm at my civilian job, and I am very impressed with it's performance. I applaud you for making a product that a) works as well as it claims to, and b) has the potential to save lives of American soldiers and police officers. Whatever you would be willing to send would be greatly appreciated and put to good use in the upcoming time we will be deployed. We would also be able to condition the weapons while we are in training, so they will work when lives are depending on their function and reliability. Again, thanks for being such a big supporter of the troops and for being a true American patriot.

The page says free, is that true if it is could I get 40 bottles for my platoon.  If not E-mail me back and I will purchase what I can afford.  I truly believe that your oil making our weapons work properly has saved the lives of me and my fellow paratroopers.

Sir,

    A little over a year ago I emailed requesting a free sample of your product, pending my deployment to Iraq, been there, done that, and really don't want to go back if I can help it. Just wanted to say thanks for the oil, it was a lifesaver.

    I was wounded by an IED and lost my oil (ha, ha) but I am alive and well. Just wanted to say thanks, and we appreciate your commitment and generosity to our soldiers playing in the giant sand box on the other side of the pond!

    If I can every repay your kindness and generosity please do not hesitate to call upon me, for I am forever in your debt.

Sincerely,
Robert xx

Thank you for your contribution. I am being deployed to Al-Anbar, Iraq within two weeks. I currently at Ft McCoy, WI for mobilization. A soldier here introduced me to your product, and I love it. I'd trust my life to it's use. I fire an M249. A weapon known for it's jamming problems, yet since applying Militec-1, I've jammed only once, but that was firing blanks, which can be problematic at times. I've never jammed using your product with live ammunition! That's unprecedented for an M249! Especially since it jammed all the time at the time when I was first issued the weapon. Again I that you for the product, your support of the troops  and your generous spirit.

Ø    Sir,
> First i want to say than you for your support during my last deployment, your product ensured that me and my soldiers weapons never had any malfunctions. I appreciate the help as with many contractors that give us the needed supplies the government will not supply. Again i am asking for your product, if you could send as much of you 1 oz bottles as you can as well as grease for my bolt guns that would be wonderful. Last deployment i used your product in your m249s as well as my m4's and m240b. I used millcomm grease in my bolt guns but if your grease is 1/10th as good as your lube then its what im going to be using. If you could send the product to my family to forward to me that would be great due to the fact we do not know what our address will be and due ot constant movements.

Hello,

I am getting ready for my second deployment to Iraq.  I religiously used your product during my last deployment; it kept my equipment in top condition in the harsh environment.  I do believe militec-1 saved my life more than once.  

The unit I will deploy with has never heard of militec-1 and does not understand its abilities.  If you could send some bottles I am sure my supply sergeant will order large quantities through the supply system.

I will be traveling and not have a stable address so if you could mail the bottles to my home I will be able to get them from my wife and into the hands of the soldiers.

I am looking for:
1 case of 16 oz bottles
1 case of 4 oz bottles

Please send to

1LT Jason xx
xxH AVE
CAPE CORAL, FL xx

765-xxx  this is my cell if you need it.  I usually do not have it on until late, so please leave a message.

I greatly appreciate your active support of the troops by offering free bottles.  I do not see that kind of support often.  Most of all I greatly appreciate your product, Militec-1 is incredible for weapons maintenance.


Thank You,


JASON xx

My name is Spc xx.  I am in the U.S. Army and will be deployed to Iraq for a year to 18 months.  I previously used a sample that was sent to another soldier on my .50 cal and the performance of the weapon was 100 times better then the other stuff that they give us to use.  I would like to recieve a sample as well so I may use them on all the weapons that the Army has issued to me (which there is many).  Thank You For your time and for your free offer it is the difference between Life and Death.

> I am very proud to write this letter an to thank you for support of the troops.  I was in Afghanistan and i wrote to you concerning a sample of Militec-1.  You happily sent it and it saved our lives.  While i was watching other weapon systems such as a .50 cal,  2 MK-19's, and a M240-B go down from overheating and jamming up due to the LSA and GMD and Breakfree and CLP that the Army issued us, and this was while we were in the middle of a firefight. However, I had continued to fire over 500 rounds from my .50 cal because it was lubed up with Militec-1.  I never had a jam or miss fire and it never gummed up or slowed in firing.  It was amazing and to this day i will still tell everyone about Militec-1.  Another reason i am writing is that since i have been back home and went to work at my Sheriffs department as a deputy, i have been telling other deputies about Militec-1, its advantages and what it did for me in combat.  I have strongly recommended it for all my military and
> sheriff Dept friends.  However i have run out of the supply of the samples that were given to us while we were there in afghanistan, and i was hoping you could send anopther sample so i could share it with the fellow deputies here.  Thank you for your help and thanks again for developing a product that will help save the lives of the soldiers.  WOuld it be possible for you to send another sample to me at  "

 I’m requesting a case of the 1 oz bottles. I’ve used your product in Iraq with exceptional results. I’ve been reassigned to a new unit and they don’t have your product. I’ve been in the US Army for 13 years and now consider your product to be the standard, nothing else comes close! Thank you for your support, your product is a life saver !

> Dear Brad,

> I do sincerely apologize for the extended lack of contact with you. Let's just say that I have been wrapped up with the bullies on the playground. I am extremely plased to report that your shipment has helped us in extremely dire situations to send those bullies to the principal's office. It has also saved my life and the life of my men on multiple occasions. Believe me, if I could send you pictures of the terrain that we are operating in, you would understand. I do, unfortunately, have to ask you for another shipment. We have not received one since the beginning of April so it gos without saying that we are running low. I forbid my men from using any other product on their equipment (even if it is unit-issued) due merely to the fact that we have tested them and they failed, some at critical points in time. I will also be needing a pretty good amount on this shipment if possible. My company has now issued us nearly twice as many weapons, primarily heavy machine guns, as well
> as vehicles due to a change in mission. it would be greatly appreciated if you could send us four cases of the large bottles (trust me, it will be put to good use), and two cases of the personal-sized tubes. I am now in a position to support many more people than before. This is the reason for the increase in the volume that I am requesting. I can promise you this in return. If your product does for these men and women HALF of what it has done for me, they too will become lifetime loyalists as I have to your company. Thank you for your time, and please expect a package from us due to your already generous shipment.

Subject: What a product

Brad, I just came back from a 1.5 year tour of Baghdad as a Infantry Squad Leader and Platoon Sergeant. I am with the B Company, 3/297th Infantry of the Alaska National Guard. One of our soldiers, a police officer from Kodiak, Alaska, gave all of us a bottle of Militec while we were still in training in the desert of Texas. All of used it and by the time we got to Iraq, our whole company had requested lots of Militec lubricants. We conducted well over 1,000 combat patrol missions and manned defense perimeters towers. We survived numerous sand storms and wind storms. Your product was in all our weapons all the time. I’ve been in the military for 20 years now and I’ve never been more impressed by a lubricant. All most of us had to do was air blow our rifles and it was back to being clean. We couldn’t do without it.

I’m back in Alaska now and looking forward to trying your product in the subfreezing temperatures. We don’t use CLP in the extreme cold due to it freezing the bold to weapon. We have been looking for an alternative and I know our armorer is now ordering your product exclusively. Well, he better because we won’t use anything else.

I just started putting Militec on my personal weapons and then I’m going to put lots of rounds through them. I just want to impress my sons. I keep telling them that I’m very excited to clean my weapons now with this product and the amazing way it keeps equipment functional and clean. They think I’m a little combat stressed.

Thank you for supporting us and our troops. Thank you for a great life saving product.

SFC Will xx
