Military pistols, machine guns, assault rifles, armor-piercing grenades were lost or stolen.

At least 1,900 U.S. military firearms were lost or stolen during the 2010s, with some resurfacing in violent crimes, an Associated Press investigation has found.

Because some armed services have suppressed the release of basic information, AP’s total is a certain undercount.

Government records covering the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force show pistols, machine guns, shotguns and automatic assault rifles have vanished from armories, supply warehouses, Navy warships, firing ranges and other places where they were used, stored or transported. These weapons of war disappeared because of unlocked doors, sleeping troops, a surveillance system that didn’t record, break-ins and other security lapses that, until now, have not been publicly reported.

While AP’s focus was firearms, military explosives also were lost or stolen, including armor-piercing grenades that went missing while being transported from Blount Island, the U.S. Marine Corps depot in Jacksonville, to Letterkenny Army Depot in Pennsylvania. They were found in an Atlanta backyard eight months later.

Weapon theft or loss spanned the military’s global footprint, touching installations from coast to coast, as well as overseas. In Afghanistan, someone cut the padlock on an Army container and stole 65 Beretta M9s. The theft went undetected for at least two weeks, when empty pistol boxes were discovered in the compound. The weapons were not recovered.

Even elite units are not immune. A former member of a Marines special operations unit was busted with two stolen guns. A Navy SEAL lost his pistol during a fight in a restaurant in Lebanon.

The Pentagon used to share annual updates about stolen weapons with Congress, but the requirement to do so ended years ago and public accountability has slipped. The Army and Air Force, for example, couldn’t readily tell AP how many weapons were lost or stolen from 2010 through 2019. So the AP built its own database, using extensive federal Freedom of Information Act requests to review hundreds of military criminal case files or property loss reports, as well as internal military analysis and data from registries of small arms.

Sometimes, weapons disappear without a paper trail. Military investigators regularly close cases without finding the firearms or person responsible because shoddy records lead to dead ends.

The military’s weapons are especially vulnerable to corrupt insiders responsible for securing them. They know how to exploit weak points within armories or the military’s enormous supply chains. Often from lower ranks, they may see a chance to make a buck from a military that can afford it.

“It’s about the money, right?” said Brig. Gen. Duane Miller, who as deputy provost marshal general is the Army’s No. 2 law enforcement official.

Theft or loss happens more than the Army has publicly acknowledged. During an initial interview, Miller significantly understated the extent to which weapons disappear, citing records that report only a few hundred missing rifles and handguns. But an internal analysis AP obtained, done by the Army’s Office of the Provost Marshal General, tallied 1,303 firearms.

In a second interview, Miller said he wasn’t aware of the memos, which had been distributed throughout the Army, until AP pointed them out following the first interview. “If I had the information in front of me,” Miller said, “I would share it with you.” Other Army officials said the internal analysis might overstate some losses.

The AP’s investigation began a decade ago. From the start, the Army has given conflicting information on a subject with the potential to embarrass — and that’s when it has provided information at all. A former insider described how Army officials resisted releasing details of missing guns when AP first inquired, and indeed that information was never provided.

Top officials within the Army, Marines and Secretary of Defense’s office said that weapon accountability is a high priority, and when the military knows a weapon is missing it does trigger a concerted response to recover it. The officials also said missing weapons are not a widespread problem and noted that the number is a tiny fraction of the military’s stockpile.

“We have a very large inventory of several million of these weapons,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said in an interview. “We take this very seriously and we think we do a very good job. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t losses. It doesn’t mean that there aren’t mistakes made.”

While AP’s analysis covered the 2010s, incidents persist.

In May, an Army trainee who fled Fort Jackson in South Carolina with an M4 rifle hijacked a school bus full of children, pointing his unloaded assault weapon at the driver before eventually letting everyone go.

Last October, police in San Diego were startled to find a military grenade launcher on the front seat of a car they pulled over for expired license plates. The driver and his passenger were middle-aged men with criminal records.

Stolen military guns have been sold to street gang members, recovered on felons and used in violent crimes.

The AP identified eight instances in which five different stolen military firearms were used in a civilian shooting or other violent crime, and others in which felons were caught possessing weapons. To find these cases, AP combed investigative and court records, as well as published reports. Federal restrictions on sharing firearms information publicly mean the case total is certainly an undercount.

The military requires itself to inform civilian law enforcement when a gun is lost or stolen, and the services help in subsequent investigations. The Pentagon does not track crime guns, and spokesman Kirby said his office was unaware of any stolen firearms used in civilian crimes.

The closest AP could find to an independent tally was done by the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services. It said 22 guns issued by the U.S. military were used in a felony during the 2010s. That total could include surplus weapons the military sells to the public or loans to civilian law enforcement.

Those FBI records also appear to be undercount. They say that no military-issue gun was used in a felony in 2018, but at least one was.

Meanwhile, authorities in central California are still finding AK-74 assault rifles that were among 26 stolen from Fort Irwin a decade ago. Military police officers stole the guns from the Army base, selling some to the Fresno Bulldogs street gang.

At least nine of the AKs have not been recovered.

The people with easiest access to military firearms are those who handle and secure them.

In the Army, they are often junior soldiers assigned to armories or arms rooms, according to Col. Kenneth Williams, director of supply under the Army’s G-4 Logistics branch.

“This is a young guy or gal,” Williams said. “This is a person normally on their first tour of duty. So you can see that we put great responsibility on our soldiers immediately when they come in.”

Armorers have access both to firearms and the spare parts kept for repairs. These upper receivers, lower receivers and trigger assemblies can be used to make new guns or enhance existing ones.

“We’ve seen issues like that in the past where an armorer might build an M16” automatic assault rifle from military parts, said Mark Ridley, a former deputy director of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. “You have to be really concerned with certain armorers and how they build small arms and small weapons.”

In 2014, NCIS began investigating the theft of weapons parts from Special Boat Team Twelve, a Navy unit based in Coronado, California. Four M4 trigger assemblies that could make a civilian AR-15 fully automatic were missing. Investigators found an armory inventory manager was manipulating electronic records by moving items or claiming they had been transferred. The parts were never recovered and the case was closed after federal prosecutors declined to file charges.

Weapons enter the public three main ways: direct sales from thieves to buyers, through pawn shops and surplus stores, and online.

Investigators have found sensitive and restricted parts for military weapons on sites including eBay, which said in a statement it has “zero tolerance” for stolen military gear on its site.

At Fort Campbell, Kentucky, soldiers stole machine gun parts and other items that ended up with online buyers in Russia, China, Mexico and elsewhere. The civilian ringleader, who was found with a warehouse of items, was convicted. Authorities said he made hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Often though, recovering a weapon can prove hard.

When an M203 grenade launcher couldn’t be found during a 2019 inventory at a Marine Corps supply base in Albany, Georgia, investigators sought surveillance camera footage. It didn’t exist. The warehouse manager said the system couldn’t be played back at the time.

An analysis of 45 firearms-only investigations in the Navy and Marines found that in 55% of cases, no suspect could be found and weapons remained missing. In those unresolved cases, investigators found records were destroyed or falsified, armories lacked basic security and inventories weren’t completed for weeks or months.

“Gun-decking” is Navy slang for faking work. In the case of the USS Comstock, gun-decking led to the disappearance of three pistols.

AP learned that the Army, the largest of the armed services, is responsible for about 3.1 million small arms. Across all four branches, the U.S. military has an estimated 4.5 million firearms, according to the nonprofit organization Small Arms Survey.

In its accounting, whenever possible AP eliminated cases in which firearms were lost in combat, during accidents such as aircraft crashes and similar incidents where a weapon’s fate was known.

Unlike the Army and Air Force, which could not answer basic questions about missing weapons, the Marines and Navy were able to produce data covering the 2010s.

The Navy data showed that 211 firearms were reported lost or stolen. In addition, 63 firearms previously considered missing were recovered.

According to AP’s analysis of data from the Marines, 204 firearms were lost or stolen, with 14 later recovered.

To account for missing weapons, the Pentagon relies on incident reports from the services, which it keeps for only three years.

Pentagon officials said that approximately 100 firearms were unaccounted for in both 2019 and 2018. A majority of those were attributable to accidents or combat losses, they said. Even though AP’s total excluded accidents and combat losses whenever known, it was higher than what the services reported to the Pentagon.

The officials said they could only discuss how many weapons were missing dating to 2018. The reason: They aren’t required to keep earlier records.

The Air Force was the only service branch not to release data. It first responded to several Freedom of Information Act requests by saying no records existed. Air Force representatives then said they would not provide details until yet another FOIA request, filed 1.5 years ago, was fully processed.

The Army sought to suppress information on missing weapons and gave misleading numbers that contradict internal memos.

Army spokesman Lt. Col. Brandon Kelley said the service’s property inventory systems don’t readily track how many weapons have been lost or stolen. Army officials said the most accurate count could be found in criminal investigative summaries released under yet another federal records request.

AP’s reading of these investigative records showed 230 lost or stolen rifles or handguns between 2010 and 2019 — a clear undercount. Internal documents show just how much Army officials were downplaying the problem.

The AP obtained two memos covering 2013 through 2019 in which the Army tallied 1,303 stolen or lost rifles and handguns, with theft the primary reason for losses. That number, which Army officials said is imperfect because it includes some combat losses and recoveries, and may include some duplications, was based on criminal investigations and incident reports.

The internal memos are not “an authoritative document,” Kelley said, and were not closely checked with public release in mind. As such, he said, the 1,303 total could be inaccurate.

The investigative records Kelley cited show 62 lost or stolen rifles or handguns from 2013 through 2019. Some of those, like the Beretta M9 used in four shootings in Albany, New York, were recovered.

Transforming Warehouses: The Aesthetic Power Of Polished Concrete Flooring

In today's competitive industrial landscape, warehouses are no longer just storage facilities; they have become integral parts of businesses that value both functionality and aesthetic appeal. A key element in achieving this blend is the flooring. While warehouse floors take on heavy foot and machinery traffic, they also play a crucial role in the overall look of the space. One solution that has gained immense popularity in recent years is polished concrete flooring. If you're working with a Concrete Resurfacing Contractor, you’ll find that polished concrete floors can truly transform your warehouse into a sophisticated yet durable environment.

Why Polished Concrete? The Blend of Durability and Elegance

Polished concrete has become the flooring option of choice for many industrial spaces, and it’s easy to see why. Combining strength and beauty, polished concrete floors offer the best of both worlds. They are incredibly durable, with the capacity to withstand high amounts of traffic and pressure without showing signs of wear and tear. Beyond durability, they provide a sleek, modern look that can elevate the overall aesthetic of your warehouse. With polished concrete floors in Atlanta becoming more sought after in major industrial areas, many businesses are reaping the benefits of both durability and elegance.

Cost-Effective and Long-Lasting: The Financial Benefits of Concrete Polishing

Another significant advantage of polished concrete is its cost-effectiveness. The upfront cost may be slightly higher compared to other flooring solutions, but the long-term savings are substantial. Polished concrete requires minimal upkeep, and because of its longevity, it doesn't need frequent repairs or replacements. This makes it a financially sound investment for businesses aiming for long-lasting flooring solutions that won’t break the bank. Moreover, polished concrete helps reduce lighting costs, thanks to its reflective properties, adding to its financial appeal.

Low Maintenance, High Impact: Simplifying Warehouse Upkeep

One of the most attractive features of polished concrete is how low-maintenance it is. Unlike traditional flooring, polished concrete doesn't require special cleaning products or procedures. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping are enough to keep the floors looking immaculate. This simplicity in maintenance means less time spent on cleaning, which is a huge benefit for warehouses that run on tight schedules.

Enhanced Light Reflection: Creating a Brighter, More Productive Workspace

Polished concrete floors have the unique ability to reflect light, which can be a game-changer in warehouse settings. The polished surface brightens up the space by enhancing the natural and artificial light present, making the environment feel more open and less confined. This increase in brightness doesn't just make the space more pleasant; it also helps improve worker productivity and safety by making it easier to spot obstacles or hazards.

Tailoring Polished Concrete to Match Warehouse Design

One of the reasons polished concrete is growing in popularity is its versatility in design. Businesses can choose from a range of finishes, colors, and even patterns to customize the floors to suit their warehouse's specific aesthetic. If you're looking for a top provider, Extreme IFC, LLC, located in Georgia, is known for its expertise in Polished Concrete Flooring. Their comprehensive services cover every aspect of polished concrete installation, including grinding, polishing, densifying, sealing, and burnishing.

Polished concrete is quickly becoming the go-to option for not only warehouses but also retail and commercial spaces. By incorporating grinding, chemical hardening, and polishing techniques, companies like Extreme IFC, LLC ensure that your floors are durable, easy to maintain, and aesthetically pleasing.

In conclusion, polished concrete flooring offers a remarkable combination of aesthetic appeal and practicality. From enhanced light reflection to ease of maintenance and cost savings, the benefits are endless. For warehouse owners looking to invest in a durable and elegant flooring solution, partnering with a Concrete Resurfacing Contractor is the first step to achieving a polished, efficient, and stylish workspace.

Hoarding Cleaning Services Prices

For many people, a house that has become cluttered and disorganized is more than just a nuisance. Cluttered spaces can cause serious health and safety hazards, and can make it difficult for homeowners or tenants to move around their space safely.

Hoarding cleaning services are available to assist with the cleanup of these unsafe environments, but they can be expensive. Hoarding clean-up costs can vary widely depending on the severity of the situation and the extent of cleaning required, but the services are usually well worth the investment.

The most obvious factor that influences the cost of hoarding cleaning services is the size of the property that needs to be cleaned. A single-family home will generally be cheaper to work on than a commercial office building or warehouse. This is due to the fact that there are fewer areas for clutter and debris to build up in.

Another significant factor that influences the cost of hoarding cleanup is the amount of debris and trash that will need to be disposed of. This is because a lot of clutter can be hazardous and may require specialized disposal methods. In addition, some items may be in such poor condition that they need to go straight to the trash. As such, trash removal fees will need to be factored into the final cleaning price.

Finally, if the property in question is heavily impacted by biohazards or pest infestations, it will need to be treated before being cleaned. These situations can be incredibly dangerous for cleaning professionals, and they will need to use a variety of specialized equipment to clean the property and treat the underlying problems. This can significantly increase the overall cost of the cleaning services, as well as add to the time that is required for the job to be completed.

There are other factors that can influence the cost of hoarding cleaning services, including transportation costs and the availability of supplemental services. For example, if the homeowner wants to have the option of having their belongings donated after the cleaning process is complete, this will need to be factored into the total cost of the services. In addition, if the home is in a remote location or has limited access points, additional costs will be added to the cleaning service.

It is important for homeowners to be aware of these additional costs before hiring a hoarding cleaning company. By understanding what goes into the pricing of these services, it is easier for potential clients to find a company that meets their needs and budget. It is also important for homeowners to obtain a detailed estimate from the cleaning company before they hire them to perform any work. By doing so, they can be sure that they are getting the best value for their money. Begin Again Decon is a local hoarding cleaning company in Atlanta that can provide you with an estimate for your hoarding cleanup project.

At Fidelis Facillity Management, we know the cost of an unkept space. Breeding bacteria costs you employee sick leave, dust and hard to reach places costs you memorable first impressions and future transactions.

How Concrete Preparation Affects the Longevity and Durability of Concrete Projects in Atlanta

When it comes to concrete projects in Atlanta, proper preparation is crucial for ensuring the long term success and durability of the final product. Whether you're pouring a new driveway, resurfacing a warehouse floor, or installing a decorative concrete patio, taking the time to properly prepare the concrete substrate can make all the difference in how well it stands up to the demands of the Atlanta climate and usage over time.

The Importance of Thorough Concrete Preparation

Atlanta's humid subtropical climate, with its hot, humid summers and mild, wet winters, can be particularly challenging for concrete preparation in Atlanta. Fluctuations in temperature and moisture levels, as well as exposure to chemicals, oils, and other contaminants, can all take a toll on concrete if it's not properly prepared before installation.

Proper concrete preparation involves a series of essential steps, including:

1.Surface Cleaning: Removing any existing coatings, sealers, or contaminants from the concrete surface to ensure a clean, sound substrate for the new concrete application.

2.Crack Repair: Identifying and repairing any cracks, spalls, or other defects in the concrete to prevent them from worsening over time.

3.Leveling and Smoothing: Ensuring the concrete surface is level and smooth, with no high or low spots that could lead to pooling or uneven wear.

4.Moisture Testing: Evaluating the concrete's moisture content to ensure it's within acceptable levels for the chosen flooring or coating system.

5.Substrate Analysis: Analyzing the concrete's composition, strength, and other properties to ensure it can properly support the intended use and application.

By taking the time to thoroughly prepare the concrete substrate, you're laying the foundation for a durable, longlasting concrete project that can withstand the challenges of Atlanta's climate and usage demands.

The Benefits of Proper Concrete Preparation

When you invest in thorough concrete preparation, you'll enjoy a range of benefits that can pay dividends for years to come:

1.Increased Durability: Properly prepared concrete is less susceptible to cracking, chipping, or other forms of premature deterioration, ensuring it can withstand heavy foot traffic, equipment use, and exposure to the elements.

2.Enhanced Adhesion: A clean, properly prepared concrete surface allows coatings, sealers, or other flooring systems to bond more effectively, reducing the risk of delamination or peeling over time.

3.Improved Appearance: A smooth, level concrete surface provides a more aesthetically pleasing finish, whether you're installing a polished concrete floor, decorative concrete overlay, or epoxy coating.

4.Reduced Maintenance: Wellprepared concrete requires less ongoing maintenance, such as crack repairs or resurfacing, saving you time and money in the long run.

5.Compliance with Regulations: Proper concrete preparation is often a requirement for compliance with local building codes and environmental regulations, particularly in industrial or commercial settings.

The Consequences of Inadequate Concrete Preparation

Conversely, skimping on concrete preparation can lead to a range of issues that can compromise the longevity and durability of your project. Some common problems that can arise from inadequate preparation include:

Premature cracking or spalling

Delamination of coatings or sealers

Uneven or pitted concrete surfaces

Increased susceptibility to staining or chemical damage

Reduced slip resistance and safety

Potential noncompliance with building codes or regulations

In the long run, these issues can result in costly repairs, premature replacement, and even potential liability concerns, making the investment in proper concrete preparation well worth the effort.

In conclusion, when it comes to concrete projects in Atlanta, taking the time to thoroughly prepare the substrate is an essential step that can have a significant impact on the longevity and durability of the final product. By following best practices for concrete preparation, you can ensure your concrete project stands the test of time, even in the face of Atlanta's challenging climate and usage demands.

LAST-MILE LOGISTICS GROWTH DRIVES RISE OF TALLER WAREHOUSE PROJECTS ACROSS US

Posted by CoStar News | Nicole Shih and Randyl Drummer | November 8, 2023

Multistory warehouses with up to five floors of logistics space are starting to rise across the United States, five years after Prologis built the country’s first multistory warehouse in south Seattle for Amazon, in part thanks to the continued growth of last-mile logistics projects.

Vertical warehouse construction, which has been popular for at least two decades in Asia and Europe, has gained traction across the United States in recent years, with 10 multistory buildings finished or under construction in greater New York City alone, according to a JLL report called “Multistory Warehouses and Their Towering Future.”

Prologis built the U.S.' first multistory industrial project, called Georgetown Crossroads, at 6050 E. Marginal Way in 2018.

Since then, projects have emerged in other densely populated regions with limited available land for development. The San Francisco Bay Area, Southern California, Washington’s Puget Sound, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia are all primed for more vertical logistics development, according to the report. Other promising areas for tall warehouses and other urban logistics projects include Atlanta, Miami, Dallas and Houston.

“There is tremendous potential in the future of multistory and urban logistics in both the established urban logistics markets and emerging logistics markets,” according to the report's author, JLL Vice Chairman Leslie Lanne.

Finding suitable places to build tall warehouses and other last-mile delivery facilities can be difficult due to zoning restrictions, tight land supply and competition from other types of projects, such as hotels, apartments and shopping centers, according to the report.

Developers have responded to some of the challenges with creative solutions, JLL said.

In New York’s Bronx neighborhood, developers Innovo Property Group and Affinius Capital turned a 20-acre site with an antiquated movie theater into a multistory industrial development called 2505 Bruckner.

Chicago's first multistory logistics project, the 1.2 million-square-foot 1237 W. Division, expected to open next year, is planned to include both rooftop parking and a five-story garage, according to JLL.

Bed Bath & Beyond Announces Bankruptcy

Experts predict that Bed Bath & Beyond Inc's bankruptcy may have significant ramifications on commercial and industrial real estate properties across the globe.

On Tuesday, Bed Bath and Beyond's real-estate advisor A&G Real Estate Partners unveiled plans to auction off hundreds of home goods stores as well as their affiliated lease agreements of Buybuy Baby stores under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

A&G Real Estate Advisors and JLL Commercial Real Estate are working in concert on this deal that depends on court approval for bidding procedure approval, covering "well-located shopping centers across the country," according to an A&G statement. They plan on marketing both Bed Bath & Beyond's data center in Claremont, North Carolina as well as lease agreements for distribution/warehouse centers as part of this endeavor.

According to A&G, data-center and warehouse locations range in size from 189,000-plus square feet and span across multiple states: California, Georgia, Nevada, New Jersey Pennsylvania and Texas.

Bed Bath & Beyond holds at least nine leases to distribution spaces located near key logistic hubs throughout the U.S., according to real-estate analytics and data company CoStar Group. CoStar Group tracks at least 6.1 million square feet of distribution space currently rented out across America by Bed Bath & Beyond according to Adrian Ponsen of National U.S. Industrial Analytics at CoStar Group who told MarketWatch they tend to lease large modern spaces as warehouse space versus local stores or malls.

CoStar statistics reveal that 85% of Bed Bath & Beyond's distribution space in the U.S. resides within buildings constructed post 2005 that exceed 500, 000 square feet - which represent "high-quality big box distribution space", stated Ponsen while noting certain cities with strong needs for such centers like Las Vegas and northern New Jersey, where Bed Bath & Beyond currently owns multiple distribution centers - such as two in Las Vegas and three each for northern New Jersey (ie two total). "I don't anticipate it being difficult finding tenants for these particular spaces," He declared. Ponsen believes other retailers and logistics providers from third parties could likely replace Bed Bath & Beyond distribution centers in terms of sales volumes and network growth. "There is still significant growth occurring among many retailers who sell basic day-to-day necessities," stated Ponsen as evidence. But, he did not rule out that Bed Bath and Beyond's distribution facilities in Atlanta and Memphis might be taken over by large manufacturers who might acquire these locations for themselves.

Bed Bath & Beyond leases take place at "well-located shopping centers across the country", according to A&G Real Estate Consulting's research. Their stores span 48 states plus DC with 18,000 to 92,000 square foot stores located there and within it; Buybuy Baby stores range between 14,000-63,000 square feet according to them.

Mitch Rosen, Head of Real Estate for Yieldstreet (an alternative-investment platform for retail investors), noted the "slow and steady demise" of Bed Bath & Beyond should come as no shock to owners or investors in commercial real-estate spaces. While other retailers adapted and changed with times to remain successful, some did not pivot quickly or adequately enough resulting in what we see with Bed Bath & Beyond today, according to Rosen's statement.

Though Rosen asserted retail is by no means dead, Bed Bath and Beyond's founder warned about how its bankruptcy might influence commercial real property ownership. Owners may face difficulty filling all their properties' space as leases could be denied due to bankruptcy - thus necessitating more funds in order to rent smaller spaces." he commented.

"Any strategy will incur time costs, dollar costs and uncertainty at its ultimate success," Rosen emphasized. "This may take time."

Bed Bath & Beyond shares have started trading over-the-counter after Nasdaq Composite COMP 1.04 percent initiated the process to delist them in response to bankruptcy filing. Trading as BBBYQ on initial day trading; stock has since gained 5 percent to 20 cents trading today.

Bed Bath and Beyond's bankruptcy was precipitated by an extended period marked by missteps in strategic planning, cash burning and an adjustment in business models due to COVID-19's pandemic outbreak.
