Who appoints an investigating officer for losses that exceed $1,000?

The appointed investigating officer for losses that exceed $1,000 is designated by the Installation Commander. This is due to the Installation Commander's authority and responsibility for overseeing matters that involve financial accountability and asset management within their jurisdiction. The Installation Commander ensures that any significant loss of resources is thoroughly investigated, which is critical for maintaining organizational integrity and accountability.

In this context, the other roles such as the Activity Manager, Resource Manager, and Head of Finance do have responsibilities regarding resource management and financial oversight, but they do not hold the authority required to appoint an investigating officer for significant losses. The scope of their responsibilities may involve assisting with the management of resources or addressing budgeting concerns, but the ultimate decision and appointment for significant loss investigations rest with the Installation Commander.
