#7  a simultaneous, 100% inventory of a ... mechanic's tool box

I remember Pan's fury when, during a walkthru at shift change, he saw a 'Snap-on' tool tray missing a wrench.
Specialty trays with foam cut for each tool.
A 100% visual inventory by both EoS and SoS techs, neglected.

Kinda like when TSA freezes the discharge line until a bag's owner is identified.

#6  There is no horror on earth more involved than a simultaneous, 100% inventory of a Tank Battalion's HHC Maintenance Platoon mechanic's tool boxes.

For the larger BOB, no worries-Holmes and Watson are on the case!

Remember of the 32 known Broken Arrow incidents.
How many has the DOD actually lost vs. admitted too.

#4  Re #1: Agreed, Many N's, that would be of strategic importance. Tactically, however, a look into the financial connections of the current crop of activist judges would yield more immediate help to the overall process.

#3  At #2: Interesting. I did a similar "pre-property book distro" with Selectric-III's many. many years ago. The PBO was not happy, but the troops got their gear. I gave the PBO a copy of the bill of lading told him to visit the units and enter the SN's as appropriate.

#2  They lose track of stuff. We were deploying a new automated system through our division and attached units. Normal supply receipts went to each unit though channels. Got a direct call from a depot to pick up over a dozen more new system computers, went down and picked them up. My offices got them to the units that needed them but we skipped the entire property book accounting system. Those disappeared off the books but still got to those it was intended. Technically a 'black hole'.

I'm waiting on DOGE's, yet to be announced, quietly conducted investigation into congressional member's personal and family asset enrichment while in office.

Things like Graft, Bribes, Family Rewards, Kickbacks from SIG's getting taxpayer $$$$, & various other Skimming Operations.
