I had the joys of re-constituting a team as a Team Sergeant.
When we did our inventories, I let the NCOs lay out the equipment in accordance with the designated list. If needed, I pulled my master copy of the team handreceipt which had the location in the team room or load out shed of every item, to include what the item was when you couldn't discern the name of the object according to the Sensitive Items Report. Made our inventories go very quickly and relatively painless.
When we laid out for change of command inventories, the maintenance records were laid out with each item, to include the multiple requests to fill our shortage annexes.
Its on you as the Commander to ensure that your property that you signed for is on hand and serviceable. If you're smart, items are subhandreceipted to the appropriate MOS and individual which gives you accountability records in the event memories of who borrowed what and when to go hunting occur the day of the sensitive items inventory. We also maintained a blank handreceipt on the outside of two walllockers. I filled one out several times when I used the range finder to assist in early morning hunting.
When we were downrange, the Team Leader and I split the house property, rent/phone bills, vehicles and everything else amongst the team members (primary and alternate). Though we were both still responsible for all items. How else will the youngsters learn how to take of these things other than by doing?
