A new govt. accountability office report found that the State Dept. faces chronic overseas staffing vacancies that could negatively impact embassy security and its 'ability to achieve US foreign policy goals and help ensure secure and efficient operations'
A new report from the government accountability office found that the State Department faces chronic overseas staffing vacancies that could negatively impact embassy security and its"ability to achieve U.S. foreign policy goals and help ensure secure and efficient operations."
The report found that these vacancies have lasted for at least a decade. Thirteen percent of the State Department's Foreign Services positions were vacant as of March 2018, according to data compiled by the government accountability office. There were similar vacancy rates in 2008 and 2012. These shortages could imperil security at the embassies, the GAO report noted.
