Supply Discipline describes the responsibility of which group?

• A. Every military and civilian employee regardless of grade
• B. Only supply personnel
• C. Only management
• D. Only contractors

Answer: (A)

Supply discipline means personal accountability for government property rests with anyone who handles or has access to it. Because property can pass through many hands, the responsibility isn’t limited to a single group; every military member and civilian employee, regardless of grade, must safeguard, account for, and properly manage supplies and equipment. This includes following procedures for issue, receipt, storage, inventory, and reporting any shortages or discrepancies. The idea is that stewardship of resources is a shared duty across the entire organization, not confined to supply staff, management, or contractors alone.
