Due to frequent turnover of personnel and equipment, all 1st MAW units will establish a quarterly embarkation inspection schedule. Unit Embarkation Officers will ensure that copies of all inspection results and corrective actions taken are properly maintained within unit/section embarkation desktop and turnover files.
