This report examines, since 2011, (1) the U.S. government's process for planning and executing drawdowns; (2) Department of State efforts to manage records on decisions to use drawdown authorities; and (3) the status of drawdowns and Department of Defense (DOD) efforts to report to Congress on defense articles and services delivered through drawdowns to recipient countries or international organizations.
