Abstract
This project provides a review and analysis of procurement fraud committed by Army Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs) during Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), assesses the subsequent Army response, examines the behavioral model behind the Gansler Commission of fraud, and identifies the elements of a contingency environment which are conducive to fraud. Case analysis of procurement fraud is presented to illustrate the types of fraud that are committed and provide the basis of procurement fraud. Based on the research findings, the author highlights the ineffectiveness and shortcomings of the current COR training program for the purpose of providing education and training recommendations to the Army acquisition workforce.
