Case Execution. During case execution, the IA must often work quickly to obligate funds before they expire. The IA procures the defense articles and services according to DoD regulations. Materiel is transported using the Defense Transportation System (DTS) or other government-procured transportation, while the IA retains oversight of the transportation process and assists with resolution of transportation issues that may arise. After materiel has arrived in country and has been inventoried, the Security Cooperation Organization (SCO) transfers custody and responsibility of the materiel and services to the Benefitting Country and begins end use monitoring (EUM), as applicable.
