EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — Imagine a contractor continuously billing the government for premium, brand-new parts, but secretly delivering cheap, refurbished alternatives. It is not a paperwork error; it is fraud and it puts lives at risk and directly degrades test and evaluation capabilities.
To tackle threats like this, the 96th Test Wing Inspector General office, the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations Detachment 104, and the Installation Fraud Working Group, launched the "Fraud Dawg" SharePoint portal and newsletter.
This installation-wide initiative supports the vice president’s effort to stop federal fraud.
"Every dollar lost to FWA is a dollar taken directly from our warfighters and mission readiness," said Paul Clark, 96th IG, about the operational impact of resource diversion.
The new platform includes case vignettes showing real-world consequences, alongside a 100 percent anonymous reporting toolto allow people to report suspicious activity securely and without fear of reprisal.
For direct inquiries or reports, contact the 96 TW IG office at 850-882-5967 or email 96tw.ig@us.af.mil. To visit the new FWA portal and read the newsletter scan the QR code.
