           equipment back to CONUS. Attention was given toward obtaining

           required flexible planning and detailed coordination between all
           units to maintain control and accountability while working in an
           expeditious manner. Unit supply personnel were required to
           conduct inventories of equipment being prepared for loading on
           MPS, MSC and air transportation. Upon return to MCAGCC, 29 Palms,

           supply administration officer spaces in order to conduct business
           and handle Marines separating from the Marine Corps. Effort was
           also directed toward identifying Remain Behind Equipment (RBE) and
           initiating the return of it.
