What is a 'loss' investigation process and who leads it?

Loss investigations focus on property that cannot be accounted for because it is missing or has been destroyed. They’re triggered when such loss occurs and are conducted to determine what happened and preserve accountability. The investigation is led by the unit commander or an appointed investigator, with findings and documentation filed in the property accountability records. This process is distinct from routine equipment inspections, internal audits of all property, or financial audits, which serve different purposes. The goal is to establish facts, identify causes, assign responsibility if appropriate, and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
