Summary Report: Lessons Learned from DoW OIG Reports on Military Construction , May 28 , 2026
From the report: "Military construction (MILCON) is the primary mechanism through which the DoW builds and modernizes infrastructure. Because these complex and high-value projects are fundamental to meeting evolving mission demands, delivering them on time and within budget is crucial to maximizing the value of taxpayer dollars and preventing mission delays.
We prepared this summary report based on common, recurring challenges identified in previous DoW Office of Inspector General (DoW OIG) reports to highlight lessons learned related to MILCON projects. Responsible DoW officials should consider and implement these lessons to mitigate risks, prevent waste, and improve the execution of future MILCON projects across the DoW. The Figure shows the six DoW OIG audit reports we used to compile this summary."
