Questions and Answers

Considering the operational tempo of modern naval logistics, what is the most critical implication of failing to deliver the 'right part' in alignment with the Naval Logistics mission?

  • Minor delays in routine maintenance schedules.
  • An increased cost in transportation due to expedited shipping.
  • A slight decrease in overall fleet readiness statistics.
  • Potential mission degradation or failure due to critical system downtime. (correct)

In the context of naval supply chain management, what is the primary challenge addressed by the Consolidated Afloat Requisition Guide Overseas (CARGO)?

  • Streamlining the procurement process for goods from foreign vendors.
  • Managing the disposal of excess inventory from decommissioned ships.
  • Standardizing requisition procedures for all branches of the U.S. military.
