Army Regulation AR 735-5 Property Accountability Policies 10 May 2013

Product Information

The FLO must include evidence that an inventory occurred properly or improperly. The FLO should obtain a copy of the change of command inventory schedule. The FLO must also obtain a copy of the relevant component listings for any lost, missing, or damaged equipment. However, the most important evidence the FLO must obtain is anything developed by the hand receipt holders during the inventory process. These documents include all relevant administrative adjustment reports and any photographic evidence. INTER-SERVICE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL {OPNAVINST 8027.7; AFI 32–3002–O; MCO 8027.1E} All BII and COEI should be laid out according to its TM, supply catalog, or respective item listing. In the event there are similar end items, all component layouts occur simultaneously. Only inventories for items that can be physically touched occur; relying on the word of another person is not a legal defense to negligence. When Army property is lost or damaged, financial responsibility can fall upon the Soldier or Civilian to whom the property was issued.

For more information about property accountability, the unit S-4, G-4, and PBO can provide assistance. Army Regulation 735-5, Policies and Procedures for Property Accountability; Army Regulation 710-2, Supply Policy Below the National Level; and Department of the Army Pamphlet 710-2-1, Using Unit Supply System (Manual Procedures), are also good resources. The FLO's resource is Department of the Army Pamphlet 735-5, Property Accountability Procedures and Financial Liability Officer's Guide. The purpose of the pen and paper is to record notes about property. The serial number, date of inventory, and any issues must be recorded. This information is used to correct deficiencies through administrative adjustment reports that list the issues and deficiencies identified with property during an inventory.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY INTERGOVERNMENTAL AND INTRAGOVERNMENTAL COMMITTEE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - THIS EDITION REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 16 DECEMBER 2023. If the Soldier does not contest liability they may voluntarily sign a Department of Defense Form 362, or Statement of Charges/Cash Collection Voucher. While DD Form 362 is an admission of liability for the lost or damaged property and an agreement to pay for it, the Army uses FLIPLs in situations where responsibility for the loss is in question, or where the amount to be charged is in dispute. Most of the evidence compiled should either support or refute a finding of negligence, which takes two forms: simple and gross. Simple negligence is briefly defined as the absence of due care, and gross negligence is an extreme departure from due care. The combination of the command supply discipline program (CSDP) and the use of the Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-Army) can help to reduce both types of negligence.

Expendable property loses its identity through its use. Expendable property requires accountability only if it is authorized by a modified table of organization and equipment or table of distribution and allowances. All other expendable property generally is considered as consumed in use. An example of consumed in use expendable property is masking tape. Conversely, all munitions require accountability on property book records. Expendable property has an ARC of "X." Nonexpendable property includes all non-consumable major end items. Nonexpendable property has an ARC of "N." Sensitive-item inventories are conducted every month by an NCO or officer. These inventories account for all equipment deemed sensitive on the hand receipt, which is normally everything contained in an arms room to include communications equipment.

Responsibility and its differing types and applications must be presented in the briefing. The SJA also briefs the FLOs on the different types of property and how to identify the property on a hand receipt. SJAs should remember to brief FLOs on required inventories and how these inventories appear on component hand receipts.

Commanders cannot delegate command responsibility. Change of command inventories occur when the incoming commander inventories all of the property on the primary hand receipt. During this process, the commander inventories every major end item on the primary hand receipt. All items on component hand receipts, including basic issue items (BII) and components of the end item (COEI), also are inventoried.

INVENTORY RECORDS. Recording every step in the inventory is an essential factor to reduce the possibility of negligence. The paper trail should start on day one of the inventory. Current and future hand receipt holders should bring a tape measure, digital camera, pen, and paper. Using a digital camera creates a photographic record of property, identifies features and serial numbers, and creates evidence that can help defeat a claim of negligence, provided the date-time stamp option is on. APPOINTMENT OF TEMPORARY OFFICERS IN THE ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES UPON MOBILIZATION (REPRINTED W/BASIC INCL C1-2) Personal responsibility obligates a person to exercise reasonable actions to properly care for and keep safe property issued or acquired for a person's exclusive use. Personal responsibility always accompanies the physical possession of property.

IDENTIFICATION, SURVEILLANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION OF PERSONNEL INFECTED WITH HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS SERVICE OBLIGATIONS, METHODS OF FULFILLMENT, PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS, AND ENFORCEMENT PROVISIONSBoth FLOs and SJAs need to understand the definitions of several different aspects of Army property, beginning with the types of responsibility. There are five types of responsibility used to determine who is responsible for the loss, destruction, or damage to government property: command, supervisory, direct, custodial, and personal. Change of hand receipt holder inventories often occur at the platoon and squad levels. The incoming platoon leader or noncommissioned officer (NCO) inventories all property signed down to them from the commander. The incoming sub-hand receipt holder is responsible for ensuring 100 percent accountability of all items, including BII and COEI.
