The adjutant general, after the appropriations are made for that purpose, may purchase and keep ready for use, or issue to the Ohio national guard or the Ohio military reserve, as the best interests of the service require, such amount and kind of camp and garrison equipage as are necessary. He shall see that all military stores, both the property of the state and of the United States, are properly cared for and kept in good order ready for use, and that property issued is properly accounted for by each organization and unit. Each organization and unit shall be entitled to credit for property actually lost, as determined by survey as provided for in section 5923.18 of the Revised Code.
