Despite an effort to improve asset visibility after Desert Shield and Desert Storm, the monograph reveal that asset visibility was lost for a large percentage of repair parts during Operation Iraq Freedom in which became frustrated cargo and never got to the intended users, which also negatively impacted equipment readiness during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
