commander, personnel must ensure that a 98-percent
location validity is verified annually. The location
validity rate will be computed upon completion of a
location audit for a particular storeroom or storage area.

locations involved, and then subtracting the number of
erroneous locations from the number of locations
audited. Then, dividing the number of valid locations by
the total number of locations audited. As an example,
the validation of 850 locations resulted in 17 errors.

850, which equals .98. his shows the accuracy rate is
98 percent.
