(AP) — Even as the Army faces shrinking budgets, an audit shows it
paid out $16 million in paychecks over a 2 ½-year period to soldiers
designated as AWOL or as deserters, the second time since 2006 the
military has been dinged for the error.
A memo issued by Human Resources Command at Fort Knox, Ky., found
that the Army lacked sufficient controls to enforce policies and
procedures for reporting deserters and absentee soldiers to cut off
their pay and benefits immediately. The oversight was blamed primarily
on a failure by commanders to fill out paperwork in a timely manner.
The payments from 2010 to 2012 represent only a fraction of the Army's nearly $44 billion projected payroll for 2013
