More than two dozen Republican lawmakers sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin castigating him for failing to submit a report on U.S. weapons left behind in Afghanistan, The Hill reported Tuesday.
“We write to you with deep concern regarding the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DOD) non-compliance with Congressionally mandated reporting of United States property, equipment, and supplies left behind after the disastrous August withdrawal from Afghanistan,” the letter read.
The letter points out that, under the terms of a government funding bill passed in September, the Department of Defense was required to submit a report on weapons and military supplies lost during the withdrawal by Dec. 29.
No such report has been submitted.
