AUDIT TRAIL FOR NONEXPENDABLES
Supplies and equipment do not just suddenly appear at your doorstep. They
must be ordered; but better yet, they must be requested in the correct manner and on
the appropriate form. Once we have established that supplies are ordered by the
parent unit or organization (battalion or hospital level) from the installation medical or
consolidated supply officer (figure 3-8), it is necessary to understand the "how" of
obtaining supplies. Standard items (those NSNs) of medical materiel are ordered
directly from the medical supply officer. The audit trail (figure 3-9) not only establishes
how supplies are ordered, but also points out the accounting procedures required to
control these supplies.
