Army Corps of Engineers paid $2.2M for half-finished building, audit shows

The Army Corps of Engineers paid more than $2 million for a half-built facility in Afghanistan that it has plans to complete, according to an Aug. 25 Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction report.

The USACE awarded the contract for the facility in June 2012, and the facility was supposed to be completed by July 2013, SIGAR says in the report.
