Testimony issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "We found that the Army could not readily identify a complete population of Army payroll accounts for fiscal year 2010, given existing procedures and systems. The Army and DFAS-IN did not have an effective, repeatable process for identifying the population of active duty payroll accounts. In addition, the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC), DOD’s central source for personnel information, did not have an effective process for comparing military pay account files to military personnel files to identify a valid population of military payroll transactions. For example, it took 3 months and repeated attempts before DFAS-IN could provide a population of service members who received active duty Army military pay in fiscal year 2010. Similarly, it took DMDC over 2 months to compare the total number of fiscal year 2010 active duty payroll accounts to its database of personnel files. "Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government" requires all transactions and other significant events to be clearly documented and the documentation readily available for examination. DOD’s "Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) Guidance" sets out key tasks essential to achieving audit readiness, including defining and identifying the population …

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Francis Manniello. Manniello joined the Army Air Corps in April 1941 after being drafted. In his county, the sons of Democrats were drafted before Republicans, so Manniello had been expecting this and took the aviation cadet exam early on. He was ultimately trained as a bombardier and navigator and in 1943 he deployed to England as a replacement for the 96th Bomb Group, 337th Squadron. He came under heavy fire during his first mission while bombing a railyard in Bremen, Germany. Despite losing a wing and part of the vertical stabilizer, he landed safely and completed 24 more missions. Manniello was transferred to the States to teach both celestial and radar navigation and remained in the service and served as a commanding officer in the Korean War. One of his soldiers committed suicide, which Manniello conscientiously reported as KIA to the deceased's family. He advanced to lieutenant colonel and retired in 1969 after representing the United States at the NATO Air Defense Ground Environment (NADGE).

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with John Pierce. Pierce registered for the Army in 1942, working as a machinist in a defense plant until he was called to active duty. He deployed to Leyte with the 284th Ordinance Company and set up a mobile machine shop for the repair of amphibious tanks. His unit was unarmed, as they were told they would be far from the action. But he was warned by nearby soldiers to dig a foxhole as quickly as he could, to take cover from snipers. The next day, he found bullet holes in his truck. He also restored equipment after the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Transferring to Okinawa, his company sought refuge in their trucks to survive a typhoon. At the end of the war, Pierce boarded the same ship as Admiral Nimitz for his return trip to the States and had the pleasure of shaking his hand. Pierce was discharged into the Reserves, but the Army misplaced his papers, so he was not recalled to the Korean War. He attended night school on the GI Bill and contined working as a machinist.
