Gen. Richard Cody, the Army's vice chief of staff, said officials were finalizing a report on problems after a team of Army inspectors visited 11 bases in seven states last month to study outpatient treatment, building conditions and the information provided to patients. The investigation found staffing shortages, excessive paperwork and poor training that created too much bureaucracy and long waits for injured Soldiers, particularly at Fort Stewart in Georgia and Fort Hood and Fort Bliss in Texas. Army officials also were taking a special look at problems at Fort Lewis in Washington state.
