To whom it may concern:

l will address each of the 11 recommendations that it is said the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence on Fort Benning will be, or has already implemented. I had received an email from the Deputy Chief of Staff, Sustainment

MCoE, Fort Benning, GA. Enclosed in the email was the following statement, "Mr. Fabozzi and Ms. Rosalez have

confirmed with me during a 9 March briefing to me that they had a plan for correcting the issues. Mr. Fabozzi has also

provided a memorandum for record stating that nine of the 11 recommendations that specifically addressed DOTS

procedures have been· put in place". It is these 11 recommendations that I will address because only about half have

been implemented.

Recommendation 2; There are Soldiers and DA Civilians preparing the DD FORM 2890 and 2890C without being

properly trained. I was tasked with preparing a class and to be prepared to train the Soldiers _and DA Civilians at the ASP

on how to prepare the DD FORM 2890 and how to properly fill out the DD FORM 626, Motor Vehicle Inspection

(Transporting Hazardous Materials), by the DOTS Branch Chief, Ms Rosalez. I informed Ms Rosalez that my ability to

certify employees would be ending on the 18th of April 2016 and that we needed to schedule the classroom to get as

many people properly certified as possible . Unfortunately, she only scheduled one class and only a handful of personnel

were present. There has been no further action taken to train any Soldiers or DA Civilians and now there are employees

and Soldiers preparing the DD FORM 2890s for vehicles with no proper classroom training. My ability to certify

personnel expired and I am no longer, legally allowed to train personnel.

Recommendation 5;. As of 23 may 2016, I have not been aware of any changes to our internal standard

operating procedures( SOP), nor have I witnessed any of our supervisors brief the Soldiers and DA Civilians on any

changes made to the SOP . Normally we would be required, as employees, to sign the SOP if any changes are made and

on a semi or annual basis . Neither has occurred.

Recommendation 7; This is just not happening except for maybe at our bunker within the ASP. There are

individuals that are actually signing the DD FORM 2890 without even ever looking at the cargo. I witnessed a soldier sign

off on three DD FORM 2890s without the trucks even being loaded. This was done in plain view of Ms Rosalez, and she

did nothing to stop it. When I informed her that it was illegal to do what he had done, she only acknowledged that it was

wrong but did nothing to stop it. The lead OASIS individual had made it clear to Ms Rosalez and Mr Seawright, and

myself that every truck that was dispatched to pick-up ammunition from the various training areas and ranges, needed

to be inspected prior to being transported back over the roads to the Fort Benning ASP. I was asked by a Colonel Taylor

to attend a meeting with Mr Fabozzi and Mr Tarrance. He told me that he would like me to be involved with helping to

come up with a solutions to remedy the problems at the ASP. Mr Tarrance asked me to develop a plan of action to try

and help solve some of these problems/violations and I agreed . I sent this plan to my immediate supervisor and also to

Mr Tarrance but I have not seen any of the measures be implemented . Keep in mind, I consulted the head QASIS at the

ASP before sending any of the measures to my supervisor and Mr Tarrance. I was told by my supervisor, we don't work

for him, and any of these measures won't be implemented until he gets further guidance or is told to do so . Since I had

sent my recommendations, we as an organization, have had several trucks come back that were loaded with

ammunition and explosives that were in violation of federal law.

Recommendation 8; I have witnessed at least one instance of a vehicle being grossly overweight. I will attach the

DD FORM 2890 that shows the truck had nearly 8000 pounds but the truck was only rated for 2.5 tons. Although a truck

may be under the rated weight, there is no way to tell if the truck is overloading the axle rating because no scales have

been purchased yet. This recommendation cannot be considered, fully implemented, until scales are purchased. This

means that there very well be ammunition trucks that are hauling ammunition and explosives over the roads on Fort

Benning that have too much weight on their axe ls. This can cause a major malfunction of the trucks drivetrain which will

result in an accident.

Recommendation 9; Nothing whatsoever has been done to fix this problem. Just last week, we .had Soldiers pull

up with a truck that had multiple items that were not c·ompatible. The truck had to be down loaded and the problems

fixed, prior to entering the ASP itself. There are no checks in place to determine if an item is not compatible. I advised

Ms Rosalez and Mr Seawright on numerous occasions, that the last four digits of the items NSN be placed on the

paperwork so that anyone who may be preparing a DD FORM 2~90 will know if the item should not be transported with

another item that it is not compatible with. This recommendation has just not happened at all.

Recommendation 10; I have not seen anybody be informed of any internal surveillance measures to ensure

adherence to any safety measures. I have witnessed the Supply Division Chief, Mr Tarrance, inspecting some tactical

vehicles that were in the process of leaving the ASP to deliver ammunition. I was told by him that there were several

problems but the Soldiers corrected them before being allowed to proceed. In my Plan of Action, I did send him the

requirements that each driver should have and the documents that are required in each vehicle. This information will be

attached as a PowerPoint Slide Show that I sent to him.

Recommendation 11; This has not happened at all. I have been asking every supervisor since January 2010 that

we needed scales to ensure that the truck axels or vehicle was not being overloaded. The WG-08s that I worked with

were all drivers that have driven trucks over the highway as regular civilian jobs. To this date, nobody has taken our

advice to purchase scales to ensure our safety and the safety of others we may drive by on our way to the drop

locations.
