Lt Halvorson…”In the meantime, suitable boom is being identified and obtained quickly”

Did the government have a system, either paper-based or computerized, that kept track of: (a)existing government inventories of boom, (b)manufacturer/distributor inventories of boom, (c)manufacturers of boom and their production capacities and leadtimes?

It certainly *sounds* like this was not the case.
