What determines the frequency of inspections outlined in the OTCNINST?

The frequency of inspections as outlined in the OTCNINST is determined primarily by the specific unit's readiness. This focus emphasizes that inspections should align with the operational capabilities and overall preparedness of a unit. The rationale behind this is that a unit's readiness can directly impact its effectiveness and efficiency during missions or operations. Regular inspections help ensure that all personnel, equipment, and facilities are maintained at a standard that supports mission requirements.

While unit size and composition, availability of personnel, and type of equipment used play important roles in logistical support and operational planning, they are not the primary factors that dictate inspection frequency. The readiness aspect ensures that units are continuously evaluated and prepared for any operational demands they may face, thus highlighting the importance of inspection frequency in maintaining an optimal state of preparedness.
