memorandum
All items of controlled equipage must be

preceding March, it will satisfy the annual inventory

A department head is relieved and signs for
department equipage.
At a change of command, the relieving officer
may ask for an inventory.
Department heads are responsible for the annual
inventory of those items for which they have custody,
and they must complete the inventory within 30 days
after they start it. The duplicates of NAVSUP 306
provide a basis for the inventory. The inventorying
officer should take the following steps:

See each item and inspect it for serviceability.
Check item serial numbers against the serial
numbers recorded on the custody cards.
As each item is inventoried, enter the date,
quantity, and signature on the reverse of the
custody card.
During or immediately after the inventory is
complete, transcribe the inventory record to the
original NAVSUP 306 held by the supply officer.
Prepare survey requests for any missing or
unserviceable equipage items. The survey
requests are very important because the supply
officer uses them to prepare a list of controlled
equipage deficiencies and submits it to the type
commander. This deficiency list is used to fund
the replacement of
controlled equipage.
