FORT LEWIS, Wash More than 100 soldiers were on lockdown Sunday after "sensitive" military equipment was stolen from a base in Fort Lewis, Wash.
The soldiers were put on lockdown Wednesday after items such as scopes, night vision goggles and range finders went missing from Joint Base Lewis-McChord over the holidays, myFOXSpokane.com reported.
Lewis-McChord spokesman Matt Hinkle said Saturday that the army was carrying out a criminal investigation into the 4th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division after the "sensitive" items went missing, The News Tribune reported.
"They'll be on base until the items are found," Hinkle, who estimated the company contained about 100- 200 soldiers, said. "This is the unit's property that's come up missing."

Yep. I remember one incident in particular. Our Inf Bn just came off a week long ARTEP. One of our companies came up short a bayonet. The entire Bn was locked down for 12 hours looking for it but it never surfaced. The Bn Cdr rolled the entire unit back to the field to scour the terrain for the missing bayonet. It "magically" appeared within an hour after we were back in the field.
