Problems noted in an inspection will be catagorized as follows:
- Discrepancy: an error or failure to comply with guidance, direction or action as required in appropriate and applicable directives.
- Finding: a significant problem within the command that:
- Detracts from the command's readiness.
- Involves or could lead to fraud, waste, or abuse.
- Involves issues of health, more, or welfare of the unit's Marines or Sailors.

Feedback
Feedback is an important element of the inspection process. Each command will be asked to fill out a post-inspection survey questionnaire.
An Inspection Report, to include a copy of the completed Functional Area Checklists will be provided to the commander immidiately following the inspection.
- The report is intended to provide the commander with sufficient information necessary to initiate required actions within the command or unit to correct deficiencies noted, refine existing programs, and aid in the overall accomplishment of the command's or unit's mission. The report will not contain findings or discrepancies that were not contained in the completed checklists of the initial report, or addressed during the inspection debrief.
- Inspection reporting and follow-up will be limited to the significant items affecting command or unit performance. A writted response will be required from the command or unit for "Non-mission Capable" functional areas and findings issued. Written responses are not requried for discrepancies.
Follow-up Inspections will be conducted for units or commands found to be "Non-mission Capable."
