Of five bases inspected to ensure security contractors were properly vetted and trained for their jobs, the Utah depot was the only one not tagged for another inspection.

"We were identified to be dropped off for the re-inspection because there was nothing to re-inspect," said Tooele base spokeswoman Kathy Anderson.

Anderson noted that Tooele is a much smaller facility than the others surveyed, including Fort Carson, Colo.; Fort Huachuca, Ariz.; Fort Monmouth, N.J.; and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.

Inspectors found that, at some of the facilities, medical checks, drug testing and criminal backgrounds were not properly documented.

After Sept. 30, bases will no longer use contractors to provide security.

Bases will instead use Army-hired civilian security officers, a change triggered by a 2006 federal report that criticized the training and vetting of contract guards.
