WASHINGTON — The Army’s acting inspector general told a House subcommittee Friday that there has been a dramatic turnaround in the operation of Arlington National Cemetery, just one year after his office issued a harsh assessment that cited misplaced remains among dozens of problems caused by mismanagement.

Maj. Gen. William McCoy testified that the cemetery’s new leaders, including Executive Director Kathryn Condon and Superintendent Patrick Hallinan, have essentially fixed dozens of deficiencies identified in last year’s report.

“Simply put, the mismanagement we found last year does not exist,” McCoy told a joint subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee. “I am confident Arlington National Cemetery is being run as well as possible.”
