Gear Accountability
GEAR ACCOUNTABILITY
There are many important reasons to be checking your gear constantly to keep proper issued gear accountability as an Infantryman in the United States Marine Corps or any other MOS in the Marine Corps as well. It is the Marines responsibility to always have proper issued gear accountability at all times. Whenever you have a pause through your patrols, raids, or movements the Marines always want to take a quick check to make sure that you have your issued or serialized gear as well as everything else that you or your team of Marines came on that mission with. It is your job to take responsibility and check yourself as well as your other marines to ensure nothing has gone missing. Proper issued gear accountability can range from the most important pieces of Marine Corps issued gear such as your rifle all the way down to your tourniquet. You always want to have serialized issued gear such as your night vision goggles dummy corded to your body. In doing so your issued gear that can be dummy corded is dummy corded to you, you will have a lot less chance to loose any of your gear or anything else you are carrying with you. In case that a Marine is moving or running, even if your issued gear comes absent from the pouch or pocket you are carrying them in they will not come completely off your body. Any serialized issued gear that the Marine is carrying on that Marines body needs to always be dummy corded to that Marine or even attached the Marines flak jacket. That also includes dummy cording the issued gear that is attached to that Marines rifle directly. If you lose gear that is crucial to the mission then that means that you have to stop find it and then move on and that takes time we as marines don’t have to waste, every second is vital. Also if you can’t find the missing gear then you have rendered yourself useless to the mission or at least made yourself less useful then you can be this we also can’t have because we need every man we have to
