What is a requisition in Army supply processes?

• A. A formal request to obtain items from the supply system to support operations or distribution.
• B. A daily log of delivered items.
• C. A contract between unit and contractor.
• D. A plan for stocking vendor inventory.

Answer: (A)

A requisition in Army supply processes is the formal request that opens the path to getting items from stock or placing an order to support operations. It specifies exactly what is needed, how much, when it’s needed, and where it should go, and it authorizes the supply system to locate, reserve, and deliver the items. Once submitted and approved, the system checks available stock or initiates procurement and issues the items to the requester. This is different from a daily log (which simply records deliveries), a contract (which is a formal agreement with a supplier), or a stocking plan (which outlines how items should be kept on hand rather than requesting them for a specific need).
