R-Supply Subsystems & Logistics

• Advance bases are temporary, while overseas bases are permanent.
• The Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) serves as the primary contact point for operating forces.
• The first echelon of re-supply involves materials positioned on Combat Logistics Force (CLF) ships.
• There is no first echelon of re-supply for aviation peculiar materials.
• The second echelon of re-supply consists of materials located at ashore activities.
• NAVSUP P-4998 (Cargo Consolidated Afloat Requisitioning Guide Overseas) specifies the material categories carried by each CLF ship type.

R-Supply Subsystems

• SITE: Contains technical and validation tables.
• INVENTORY: Enables users to perform routine maintenance for inventory information.
• LOGISTICS: Manages automated supply procedures, including generating MILSTRIP requisitions, recording receipts, stowing, issuing material, and processing supply status.
• FINANCIAL: Manages automated supply procedures, including recording OPTAR allocation, tracking OPTAR balances, posting financial adjustments, updating appropriation data, and producing financial reports.

Material Identification Supply System

• A cognizance symbol (COG) is a two-position code that identifies a stock numbered item with the Navy Item Manager, indicating the material's management within an NWCF, APA, or non-stores account.
• The first position of the COG indicates the stores account (e.g., 9 in 9B signifies NWCF stores account).
• The second position of the COG indicates the item manager (e.g., B in 9B signifies the item manager).
• NWCF stores accounts have COGs with first digits 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 and are chargeable.
• Appropriations Purchase Account (APA) material has COGs with even first digits (2, 4, 6, or 8) and are non-chargeable.
• Non-stores accounts have COGs starting with 0.
