I know its standard operating procedure. Its about accountability. The company commander who signed for them did not keep track of the items. Most of the unit didnt even know they were there. If that many weapons are going to be in an unsecured area, the least they could have done was put up a camera to watch them. Most of the unit wasnt even aware they were there. Personally I believe they were shipped out with a previously deployed unit and the paper trail went missing. I just feel for these guys. A lot of them are fathers and mothers.
