What is the procedure for a troop commander to complete the BW/CW audit trail?

The correct procedure for a troop commander to complete the Bioenvironmental/Chemical Warfare (BW/CW) audit trail is to return documentation to the home station Medical Logistics (MEDLOG). This step is critical because it ensures that all findings and records related to BW/CW are properly submitted and archived within the established logistics systems at the home station.

Returning documentation to MEDLOG is important for maintaining accurate records and facilitating future audits and inspections. It allows for proper tracking of BW/CW-related activities and ensures that the information is stored in a way that supports accountability and compliance with regulatory requirements.

In contrast, options like submitting findings to higher command or contacting HQ for further guidance may be necessary actions in other contexts but do not specifically address the completion of the audit trail. Similarly, archiving records in the unit folder might not ensure the records are integrated into the overarching logistics system, which is key for long-term tracking and retrieval. Therefore, returning documents to MEDLOG is the most appropriate and effective action for completing the audit trail.
