To whom should the request for issue be submitted?

The request for issue should be submitted to the unit commander because they hold overall responsibility for the resources within their unit. The unit commander is in a position to evaluate the needs of the unit and make informed decisions about the allocation and distribution of Class V supplies, ensuring that all requests align with operational priorities and the mission.

The unit commander's authority enables them to authorize the requisition of ammunition and other critical supplies, which is essential for maintaining operational readiness. While other personnel, such as the logistics officer, combat commander, or supply sergeant, may play significant roles in the logistics and supply process, the ultimate decision-making power rests with the unit commander, making their approval a necessary step in the request for issue.
