The unit that had that range for the day left it behind. It probably belonged to someone who went to sick call or something and nobody took charge of it. I can’t imagine the heads rolling after that.
This kind of thing was always an XO headache on night jumps. SM gets an ankle injury and needs medevac, meaning ALL his sensitive items (and his weapon(s)) need to be handed off to his buddies and accounted for all night, during the field problem, until they could be trucked back to the company the next morning.
I remember a jump in high winds one night on Holland DZ, which nobody ever really used. We had one chalk into a gully and another into some trees: accountability was a NIGHTMARE that night. The medics were busy.
