-The Office of Standards and Modernization (OSM) is the primary agency of the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai|Star Army of Yamatai]] tasked with ensuring the readiness of all issued equipment throughout the Star Army by both monitoring the condition of said equipment and by administering the distribution of updated or new equipment items. Given the size of the Star Army and the rapidity with which it updates its equipment, the job of policing the readiness state throughout the Star Army is a serious and difficult task. As such, being assigned to OSM a weighty challenge but one critical to the Star Army, entrusted only to officers who have proven themselves loyal, diligent, and highly effective as leaders and to highly trained and dedicated specialists in the enlisted and warrant ranks.+The Office of Standards and Modernization (OSM) is the primary agency of the [[stararmy:start|Star Army of Yamatai]] tasked with ensuring the readiness of all issued equipment throughout the Star Army by both monitoring the condition of said equipment and by administering the distribution of updated or new equipment items.

 The OSM is split into two components. The first is the large central staff and legal team needed to craft and maintain OSM policy, examine changes in Star Army and Imperial law, and to coordinate the efforts of the rest of the OSM, both internally and with the rest of the Star Army. The Deputy Assistant Director for Standards and Modernization (DADSM or DAD) , a [[stararmy:ranks:taisa]], leads this effort, with the Chief of Staff and Chief Advocate reporting directly to him or her. The Chief of Staff, a [[stararmy:ranks:chusa]], maintains the day-to-day running of the OSM, including human resource issues, site maintenance, and budgetary responsibility. The Chief Advocate, a Chusa or the civil service equivalent, manages the OSM’s legal team, tasked with ensuring compliance with all pertinent law and the assistance of military prosecutors when logistics related cases come before military tribunals. The OSM is split into two components.

-While the exact size of an Audit Team depends upon the size of the unit being inspected, the core members remain the same throughout. In command is an Inspector, a [[stararmy:ranks:taii]] who needn’t necessarily be a logistics specialist, as with many roles within the OSM. That highly specialized knowledge and proficiency is provided by the Inspector’s Aide, typically an [[stararmy:ranks:itto_juni]] or [[stararmy:ranks:chui]] who has spent their career in Logistics. The rest of the team is composed of Auditors, a collection of personnel of either Petty or Warrant Officer rank. The smallest Audit Teams usually include at least one [[stararmy:occupations:investigator|criminal investigator]] and one logistics specialist aside from the Inspector and Inspector’s Aide. Extremely large Audit Teams can be composed of hundreds of personnel, including [[stararmy:occupations:science|forensic scientists]], [[stararmy:occupations:information_technology|IT experts]], or even [[stararmy:occupations:intelligence_operative|intelligence operatives]]. Though the Inspector is merely a Taii, a very low rank in circumstances where the unit being inspected is commanded by a Taisa or even a Taisho, the extremely delineated chain of command means that the Audit Team is completely isolated from any influence from the unit being investigated. That said, most units have a good relationship with Audit Teams. Inspector training emphasizes the importance of maintaining friendly rapport with the subjects of an inspection, lest even innocent members of the Star Army become reticent to cooperate with the OSM. But to those who truly have committed criminal acts, the dedication and thoroughness of an Audit Team almost always entails the unraveling of any plots or conspiracies, however mundane.+While the exact size of an Audit Team depends upon the size of the unit being inspected, the core members remain the same throughout.
