What are your worst experiences you had or saw during a change of command inventories? I'm wanting to avoid mistakes I saw as an XO and from what I heard happened from other units. Your input is much appreciated. So far mine is going well but a minor hiccup today slowed us down because the layouts weren't done correctly. Shortage annexes were inaccurate with items missing from BII/COEI.

Sir, On the enlisted side I was guilty of this, and as an XO I have been on the look out for it, but the big one was Platoons playing the "Shell game" with property. Where one platoon shows me their equipment and then the next, and so on... BUT because 2nd PLT was missing an item they borrowed 3rd PLT's and then swapped it back before 3rd PLT was inspected,
The solution I found was a by item inventory, where all the PLs/PSGs went a got a particular item, the the next, then the next, all at the same time. I grant you it isn't fool proof, and nothing replaces attention to detail (model and serial numbers) But it lessened the risk of such shenanigans.

Yes, we just talked about this today and all OCIE will be layed out at one time. No going behind the scenes to cover down for someone who lost their gear. I have seen this with BII too and the same item was used twice between 4 plts.

Only twice... could be worse. Once we had one complete set of BII between 6 trucks, and our leadership only caught on when that truck when in for maintenance and they forgot to pull the BII.
