Today SIGAR released three letters detailing the agency’s efforts to obtain the facts underlying the US military’s purchase of eight patrol boats for the Afghan National Police and the subsequent decision to cancel their delivery. The military has been unable to provide records that would answer the most basic questions surrounding this $3 million purchase. The only facts known are that the purchase was made in 2010; the boats were intended to patrol the border with Uzbekistan; and the order was cancelled -- without explanation -- nine months later. The boats currently sit unused at a Navy warehouse in Yorktown, Va.
