In my experience, military dwarfs will almost never move owned items into owned cabinets and chests.  Though, I used to believe I saw it happen one or two times, I'm starting to think the items' owners were killed, freeing the items for hauling jobs.

What I'm experimenting with now is whether the spouse of a military dwarf will pick up and store the dwarf's items.  Naturally, only the males are drafted for maximum cleanliness. (Okay, so that's bullshit).

But seriously, if soldier duties (sparring, combat, breaking trainees' spines) are getting in the way of "Store Owned Item" jobs, then couldn't you just disable all barracks, set the litterer's squad to off-duty, and wait a few seasons?  There should be nothing besides sleeping, eating, and telepathically procreating to get in the way of their storing job.  I would have them sleep in their own room too, to ensure they at least visit the place.

I'm pretty sure that Store Owned Item is a civilian job. If the soldiers have no tasks, no physical needs (food/drink) and no place to spar, they just stand around with the Soldier job.
