摘要：在2009财政年度，国防部报告说，它花费了40亿美元将部队和物资运送到阿富汗，这是一个多山、干旱、内陆的国家，几乎没有公路，没有铁路，只有四个3,000多米长的机场。阿富汗及其周边国家的地形和天气对运输用品和设备构成进一步挑战。2009年12月，总统宣布，到2010年8月，将向阿富汗增派3万名美军。今天的证词讨论了美国政府问责局从正在进行的审查国防部支持阿富汗行动的后勤工作中得出的初步意见，包括以下内容：（1）参与的组织以及将物资和设备运送到阿富汗及其周边地区的路线和方法;（2）国防部根据以前行动的经验教训，采取措施改善其分配过程;以及（3）影响国防部在阿富汗境内分发物资和设备能力的挑战，以及国防部为减轻这些挑战所做的努力。在进行审计工作时，总审计局审查了国防部关于向阿富汗运送物资和设备的指导方针和其他文件，并会见了美国、阿富汗、科威特和卡塔尔的各种知名官员和指挥官。
Abstract : In fiscal year 2009, the Department of Defense (DoD) reported that it spent $4 billion to move troops and materiel into Afghanistan, a mountainous, arid, land-locked country with few roads, no railway, and only four airports with paved runways over 3,000 meters. The terrain and weather in Afghanistan and surrounding countries pose further challenges to transporting supplies and equipment. In December 2009, the President announced that an additional 30,000 U.S. troops will be sent to Afghanistan by August 2010. Today's testimony discusses GAO's preliminary observations drawn from ongoing work reviewing DoD's logistics efforts supporting operations in Afghanistan, including the following: (1) the organizations involved and routes and methods used to transport supplies and equipment into and around Afghanistan; (2) steps DoD has taken to improve its distribution process, based on lessons learned from prior operations; and (3) challenges affecting DoD's ability to distribute supplies and equipment within Afghanistan, and its efforts to mitigate them. In conducting its audit work, GAO examined DoD guidance and other documentation relating to the processes of transporting supplies and equipment to Afghanistan and met with various cognizant officials and commanders in the United States, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Qatar.
