Study Notes

Requisition Numbers (RQN)

RQN includes three essential components: Federal Supply Class, Country Code, and Unique ID.
Two types of RQNs:
- Non-Operational Ready Supply (NORS) requires a CASREP report.
- Anticipated Non-Operational Ready Supply (ANORS) does not require a CASREP.

Allowance Parts List (APL)

APL is a technical document listing components for specific equipment.
Found in Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List (COSAL) or Operational Maintenance Management System (OMMS).
Parts are ordered against the APL by maintenance personnel.

Allowance Equipment List (AEL)

AEL comprises parts and supplies necessary for the ship's operation.

Operational Target (OPTAR) and Temporary Additional Duty Travel Target (TADTAR)

OPTAR allocates funds for consumable products and emergency repairs.
TADTAR funds travel for training, emergencies, or non-Navy conferences.

OPNAV Forms

OPNAV 4790/CK documents configuration changes.
OPNAV 4790/2K ("Two-kilo") is an Automated Work Request (AWR) for requesting external assistance or parts.

Casualty Report (CASREP)

CASREPs are official messages detailing deficiencies that impact mission capabilities.
Categorized into three types based on mission impact:
- CAT2 (secondary mission degradation)
- CAT3 (primary mission degradation)
- CAT4 (primary mission loss).
Four message types exist: INITIAL, UPDATE, CANCELLATION, and FINAL.

Remain in Place Chit (RIP Chit)

Allows retention of defective parts until replacements arrive, facilitating engineering processes.

Other Supply Office (OSO)

Facilitates critical item exchanges between ships, with proper documentation required.

Depot Level Repair (DLR)
