The US sent Taiwan waterlogged shipments of moldy body armor and machine guns tossed in a cardboard box, DoD watchdog says
Briefly

In a startling report, the Office of the Inspector General revealed that two-thirds of military aid to Taiwan was damaged by water, risking US credibility.
The inspection found that 120 pallets of tactical vests and 3,000 body armor plates were wet and moldy due to prolonged exposure to the elements.
The report highlighted poor storage practices, stating that disintegrating boxes with mold spores trapped water, leading to equipment deterioration.
A significant portion of the ammunition sent was outdated and poorly packaged, with some rounds dating back to 1983, compounding the shipment's issues.
