Supply and Logistics Fundamentals Flashcards
Explain the importance of the Consolidated Shipboard/Shorebased Allowance List (COSAL/COSBAL) in relation to the command’s mission and sustainability
**Common Core*
Acts as a comprehensive inventory of essential equipment, repair parts, and consumables needed to maintain operational readiness for an extended period without relying heavily on external resupply, effectively allowing the command to function independently and sustain its mission even in remote or challenging environments
Discuss the COSAL validation process
**Common Core*
- COSAL Validation - S4 ensures the 3MC is conducting equipment validations monthly (10 spot checks of equipment allowance documents)
- COSAL Updates - under the 3M Maintenance Data System (MDS), work center technicians can add, change, or delete equipment APLs in the command’s COSAL due to unsupported or inaccurate equipment
**Common Core*
What are the 10 Classes of Supply?
**Common Core*
I. Subsistence
II. Clothing
III. POLs
IV. Construction Materials
V. Ammo
VI. Personal Demand Items
VII. Major End Items
VIII. Medical Supplies (incl. veterinary)
IX. Repair Parts
X. Non-military Program
**Common Core*
Discuss the purpose of Material Obligation Validation (MOV) Program
**Common Core*
Validates that supply’s records and paperwork matches with the requisition activity’s records and paperwork and that the equipment or material is still necessary and the quantity is correct, material obligation that is not directly available, need to validate that the material is still required.
**Common Core*
Discuss the following:
A. OPTAR
B. DLA Distribution Services
**Common Core*
A. Funding from TYCOM that is determined based on the command’s operational obligations, determined from spending in the previous 12 months and the operations in the future 12 months, expenditures can be made through the next 6 years (current fiscal year and next 5 years)
B. Manages the global supply chain - from raw materials to end user to disposition - for the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, 11 combatant commands, other federal agencies, and partner and allied nations.
**Common Core*
State the criteria for which a requisition cancellation request is warranted.
**Common Core*
- Inactivation
- Requirements for material no longer exist
- Set to deploy before material arrives and no transshipment is wanted
**Common Core*
Define minor property
**Common Core*
Lower Value: The unit cost is typically under a designated threshold (usually $5,000).
Non-Expendable: Minor property is not meant to be consumed or used up quickly.
Required Accountability: Even though the value is lower, minor property still requires oversight and accountability to prevent loss or improper use.
Maintenance and Care: Regular maintenance or proper care is expected, though it’s less intensive than for higher-value items.
**Common Core*
Discuss what qualifies as a controlled item.
**Common Core*
Requires special handling, documentation, and security measures due to its high value, sensitive nature, or strategic importance. Ensuring these items are properly managed is essential to maintaining operational effectiveness, preventing misuse, and safeguarding national security interests.
**Common Core*
Discuss the purpose of the Table of Allowance
**Common Core*
Mission readiness and operational efficiency. It ensures that the unit has the right equipment, tools, and materials to support both construction and combat tasks, streamlines logistics, and ensures inventory accountability. By maintaining a well-defined TOA, NMCBs can meet mission objectives effectively and remain ready to deploy in support of a wide range of military and humanitarian operations.
**Common Core*
Explain the purpose of the Allowance Change Request (ACR).
**Common Core*
Allows units to update or correct their authorized allowances based on changing needs, operational requirements, or equipment changes. It ensures that resources are properly allocated, tracked, and maintained, helping units to stay properly equipped and ready for any mission.
**Common Core*

A. NAVSUP 1250-1/1250-2
B. DD-1348
C. NAVSUP 1149

**Common Core*
NAVSUP 1250-1/1250-2: Used to request and acknowledge receipt of materials.
NAVSUP 1250-1: This is the Request for Procurement form used to order material from a Navy supply facility.
NAVSUP 1250-2: This form is used for material receipt and acknowledges that the requested item(s) have been delivered to the unit.
DD-1348: Used for property issue and receipt documentation, critical for inventory control.
NAVSUP 1149: Used for requisitioning and invoicing materials and supplies.
DD-200: Used for financial liability investigation when government property is lost, damaged, or destroyed.
NAVSUP 1114: Used for requesting or turning in materials or equipment to the Navy supply system.
**Common Core*
