@philpem In all seriousness if I was in the military and someone pulled a stunt like that with me, I'd come up with something plausible like that and return it with an explanation to show that I did exactly was ordered but was not in the mood for a wild goose chase.

If asked to fetch a grid square, I'd put in an order for https://www.amazon.com/Thereisno-Upgraded-Coordinate-Protractors-Topographical/dp/B0CD23WXXV

@philpem I remember being told to get a replacement bubble for the spirit level ("Ersatzblase für die Wasserwaage") or replacement liquid for the car's turnsignal (Blinkerflüssigkeit,,,,)
