Did he say why he wanted you all to start locking the vehicles in the motorpool? Not that he has to, that's one of the perks of being the SGM, lol. As to delta's comment about a fire, I don't think it matters if the vehicles are locked or not, I know I'm not running into a fire to save a vehicle, that's what they pay fire fighters to do.

we did the same thing at my old unit in the 82nd. |

AR 190-51, para 3-5.d. quote: Army vehicles when not in use. These vehicles will be parked in motor pools to the maximum extent practicable. The motor pool will be protected by a perimeter fence or dedicated guards. FM 19–30 will be used as a guide for determining fencing requirements.
AR 190-51, para 3-5.e.(1)(b) quote: Tactical and M880 series vehicles. Immobilize steering wheel with a chain and a U.S. Government approved padlock as specified in TB 9–2300–422–20. Activate installed door and ignition–locking devices. Hood, spare tires, and fuel tank should also be secured with approved locking devices if the local environment warrants this action. Brass padlocks supplied with vehicles may be used to secure vehicles, except those uploaded with AA&E or other sensitive items, and as long as other security measures required by applicable regulations and directives are followed.
These are requirements for Army tactical vehicles with a risk category of Level 1. Level 1 is the lowest and applies to all vehicles. If the motorpool is determined by physical security inspectors to be greater than Level 1 then there are additional security measures. The CSM is right. There IS a regulation. |

I guess I got the message all mixed up. I meant in the bays of the motorpool. Not the actual fenced in area. And yeah by SOP you had to lock all steering wheels of the vehicles. Glad we can clarify this misunderstanding. I guess me being a mechanic to much carbon monoxide.
