A commission will look into charges of faulty management at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, the U. S. Department of Defense said on Thursday.

It has been reported that the commission will include two former U. S. senators who are also decorated U. S. military veterans, Bob Dole of Kansas, a Republican, and Max Cleland of Georgia, a Democrat.

According to the reports of the Los Angeles Times, the department said in release on Thursday that Army Secretary John McHugh has ordered changes at the cemetery following a months-long investigation into alleged misconduct including poor record keeping, lost accountability of some graves, misidentifying graves of war dead and, in one case, burying the body of one on top of another.

McHugh said in the report, "While the Inspector General's team found that ANC employees, under an extraordinarily high operational tempo of 27 to 30 funerals a day, performed their jobs with dedication and to a high professional standard, they also found them hampered by dysfunctional management, the lack of established policy and procedures, and an overall unhealthy organizational climate. That ends today."

He is establishing an Army National Cemeteries Advisory Commission to include Dole and Cleland, along with others outside the Army to review procedures and policies, McHugh said further.

It was also reported that McHugh issued a letter of reprimand to ANC Superintendent John Metzler Jr., who is to the new executive director before retiring from federal service July 2. (With Inputs from Agencies)
