What is the default combination when you turn in a safe to DRMO?

The default combination for turning in a safe to the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO) is typically 50-25-50. This combination is established as a standard practice to ensure security and facilitate the safe's management when it is no longer needed by the issuing activity.

Using a default combination helps maintain a consistent security protocol, allowing DRMO personnel to access the safe without needing a unique or customized combination for each safe turned in. This approach streamlines the process of decommissioning and re-purposing assets while ensuring that the safe can be opened and inspected easily by authorized personnel.

The combination 50-25-50 is specifically chosen to be memorable and easy to communicate, helping in the logistics of handling multiple safes and reducing the potential for errors in security practices. Hence, this default combination aligns with established military logistics practices regarding asset management and security procedures.
