If I recall correctly 2062's are only good for thirty days or so, longer than that and the equipment needs to get lateral transferred. Looks like I need to go look that one up again.
For my team, I made a list of individual equipment that each team member would be receiving to include things not on the PB, but are team issued. Then I customized that on the 2062 with serial #'s. Things like :
M4 w/ optics/lasers/lights
M9
MBITR
NVGs
Then I made Section 2062's and put them in separate binders, and a Maintenance binder. The good CPT didn't like having so many binders, so now I have one binder that is the team PB, one binder that is the Section's 2062s, and a third binder that is Shortage annexes grouped by section, it is by far the most painful binder, but the most important one in my opinion. It doesn't matter how much cool sh^t you have in your team room, if it's broken it doesn't do you any good
I think the key is getting the section guys to sign for their stuff and get involved in the upkeep of their assigned equipment. The next biggest thing for a new 18C would be to know what each piece of equipment is in your team room and keep that maintenance/shortage annex up to date with 2404's. And don't get forced into doing it all yourself, have each section do their 2404s.
I know that my company has done our shortage annexes correctly for the last 3.5 years and have ordered what we are short 3 times and still haven't received any of it, then again we're NG and our priority isn't very high according to mother Army.
