DoD IG Audit Reports Unseen On Its Website

Reports marked FOUO: The DoD will release the Inspector General reports below in whole or part upon request; they just don¹t wish to broadcast/post them on their website.

According to DOD FOIA regulations 5400.7:

C4.1.2. Prior FOUO Application. The prior application of FOUO markings is not a conclusive basis for withholding a record that is requested under the FOIA. When such a record is requested, the information in it shall be evaluated to determine whether disclosure would result in a foreseeable harm to an interest protected by one or more FOIA Exemptions 2 through 9. Even if any exemptions apply, the record shall be released as a discretionary matter when it is determined that there is no foreseeable harm to an interest protected by the exemptions.
Reports marked Secret: The DoD will release these in whole or part upon a letter requesting Mandatory Declassification Review (³under the provisions of Executive Order 13292²) because then they have to justify the Secret or Confidential markings, which as you probably suspect are usually pretty flimsy or even bogus. A letter request citing FOIA could also be used, but it would be less likely to be successful because they can simply cite the classified markings and deny out of hand, without anyone examining the records.

As you may note, some of the titles are intriguing, particularly since they are audits of the use of public funds, etc.
