This is a great thread for up and coming 18C. A few good TTPs have already been put out, I'll add how I did it.

ODA Property Book (3in Binder)
-Copy of CPT's signed hand receipt
-Copy of MOS Break-down (Excel)
-Sub-Hand Receipts delegating equipment from the CPT to respective individual in that MOS (DA 2062)
-Then Density List of Team Equipment not on Property Book ie.(Craftsman tool kits, Cat 5 cable splicing kit, Concealed carry holsters) (Excel)
-Sub-Hand Receipts delegating team equipment to Individual (2062)
-Copies of all Turn-in Docs / Maintenance Docs
-Copies of shortage annexes (2062)
-2062s of Equipment signed out

Sub Component Book (1in Binder)
-A copy of all sub component hand receipts kept in the order that they appear on the HR
-Copy of Team HR

Load out Binder (1in Binder)
-I had each MOS make a word doc, basically using the 1750 format and write what had in each Contico Box.
-We used various ISU 90's along with the Teamroom to store equipment
this binder had where the equipment was located. ie (SKEDCO, Box D1, ISU 2-SN XXXX)

I also used a numbering system for the contico boxes, Personal and Professional. My guys were pissed when I showed up with black spray paint and paint markers and made them re-do their boxes with their names and graffiti all over them, but it paid off later on. Doing this allowed me to account for each box that was being palletized, that way I could give my TMSGT an UP without having to do another layout because each box was sealed after the final layout.

Before a deployment.
I would hand each MOS a copy of the Team HR. They would highlight anything that was a (STAY). I would take that info, review it, have the TMSGT review it. (Guys will try to leave shit behind that they need) Once he blessed off on it, I would put it on excel as the team density list. Using this info I would make the stay behind HR. Meanwhile, The MOS's would be making their 1750s.

I made a deployable version of the Team Property book with a tri-fold folder.
-Copy of CPT's hand receipt
-Copy of Stay behind hand receipt
-Copy of Density List
-Copies of all 1750s
-All Hazmat Documentation
-All Shipping Documentation
-Ammo Break down
-Blank 1750s/2062s

This version i would carry in my "C" Back pack, along with extra locks, a small set of lock cutters, paint markers, with a few other random things I thought that I would need.

This is all I can think of right now. I know it seems like a lot. However, after all the leg work is done, this system runs smoothly and requires minimal upkeep. I kept everything I could on digits, I hate re-creating the wheel. Keeping good books makes you look like a superstar, when your CPT calls you and you are OCONUS in a school, asking about a piece of equipment. I just told him to look in my Engineer/PBO Book and flip to the "Equipment signed out" Tab, and WALA.

This is all for now.
