In recent years, reports of millions of dollars of misplaced Army property have led to concerns over the enforcement of the Command Supply Discipline Program (CSDP). In an effort to curtail property accountability problems, the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-4, Department of the Army, has assembled a team of highly skilled and knowledgeable logisticians and military analysts to form a Property Accountability Task Force (PATF).
Through surveying Soldiers in the field, PATF found that Soldiers tasked with maintaining property books and enforcing the CSDP were not aware that many property accountability courses are available through interactive multimedia instruction (IMI). This article provides readers with distance learning (DL) course information and links to websites where they can take or order these courses online.
