11. Well that would be a "short arm inspection."

I don't know about other services. In a company formation 200 men in a well lit area.

Marines would expose their penis for inspection to a corpsman (medic) for a venereal disease check. Failure to comply is brig time (jail).

Mostly done post combat or after overseas deployments, but before returning state side.

As far as body parts go, well, I'll leave that one alone, unless you're really interested.
