Here's the link to the actual GAO report. It answered most of my questions, but not all (for example, (1) unused dress uniforms were sold but the report didn't state whether they were the new green or old green color; however, they were supposed to be used for JROTC so they shouldn't have been sold anyway (2) excess power generation equipment that uses mogas instead of diesel is undesirable due to having to have different fuelers and the high flammability of mogas - the report doesn't specify what fuel powers the equipment). All in all, though, it seemed on target.
