A large (and expensive) vehicle caught fire under my DS's command, while in the field.
No one was injured, so that is good. The bad part is the vehicle totally burned up. The cause is under investigation.
Does anyone know if it is common for a commanding officer (or platoon leader) to be held financially responsible for such a loss? Is this a likely cause for a FINANCIAL LIABILITY INVESTIGATION OF PROPERTY LOSS (FLIPL)?
Should he lawyer up?
