Inspect what you expect, but for a 1st Sgt to do that may show some problems, namely mistrust in the Platoon Sgts and Sqd Leaders. Some of this sounds like they didn't cross load their gear correctly.

Edit to add: There was a report on the national news tonight from a reporter imbedded with one of the companies mentioned in the story.
