- What are the three levels of TO distribution activities that provide basic TO system support to base-level AF organizations?
Base TODO, unit TODO, and TODA.
- What does the base TODO service?
Those base activities that maintain less than 250 TOs and aren’t serviced by an operations, maintenance, tenant unit, or other organization assigned a TODO code by OC-ALC.
- Which personnel may establish ID requirements and requisition TOs through the TO distribution system?
TODOs.

QA.
- Personnel in what section schedule and chair TCTO planning meetings?
Wing PS&D.
- What criteria are considered ineligible for submission on an AF Form 22?
Those that merely call attention to a word or omission, or typographical or printing errors, that would normally be corrected during scheduled reviews and don’t cause misinterpretation. Those that identify other non-critical errors in a TO and/or suggest minor word changes to technical data unless the suggester specifically describes the problems that will be prevented and/or gives examples of prior problems.
- TO improvement reports should be evaluated against what criteria?
Mission impact, personnel and aerospace system safety, damage to equipment, work simplification, urgency of need for change, labor savings.
- What are the guidelines for determining if a TO improvement report qualifies as an urgent report?
Identify errors (or omissions) that, if not, corrected could cause one or more of the following: injury to personnel, damage to equipment or property, or a reduction of operational efficiency. An urgent report might also be submitted if the deficiency could jeopardize the safety or successful accomplishment of a mission. TCTO deficiencies are always classified as urgent reports.

Urgent.
- When does an AFTO Form 22 qualify for the suggestion program?
When it has been approved.
- What types of deficiencies are not reported using AFTO Form 22?
Recommendation for new TOs, embedded computer system hardware and/or software, calibration responsibility determination, corrections to flight manual publications, errors in preliminary TOs, and requests for changes SMR codes.
- What does a reviewing organization do with received reports?
Make sure the report is justified, assigned the proper priority, and downgraded or disapproved when necessary. Make necessary changes with concurrence of submitting MAJCOM HQs. Return a carbon copy of report to initiating activity. Signs approved reports
- What three characteristics depict the concept of the supply system?
First, the system is worldwide; second, accomplishment of the supply system mission depends on the performance of specialized functions such as storage, distribution, and disposal; third, the system contains a few million items which vary in size, use, complexity, and value.
- When determining the segments of the supply system, how many of the characteristics are considered in the concept of the system?
All three
- Describe the SBSS
An accounting system consisting of standardized computer equipment, programs, procedures, and policy. It provides base activities with their supply needs, using a SBLC to account for supplies, equipment, POL, munitions, and clothing.
- What is the primary goal of the SBSS?
To provide standardized data for all levels of management and to provide managers with accurate and current data for budget and buy programs.
- Which element in base supply would you contact if you had a supply-related problem?
The customer service element.
- Who established UMMIPS?
The military services, DLA centers, USCG, defense contractors, other governmental agencies, and countries participating in the MAP (grant aid and FMS).
- What are the two purposes of UMMIPS?
Provide a standard method of ranking competing needs according to their importance (using a method for identifying the importance of requisitions by using a combination of FAD and UND) and to ensure the most effective management of resources in reacting to each need.
- Who is responsible for assigning priority designators consistent with assigned FADs and the existing urgency of need?
Commanding officers and the heads of requisitioning activities.
- How are FAD codes identified?
By the Roman numerals I, II, III, IV and V.
- What are FAD I assignments reserved for?
Those units, projects, or forces which are most important militarily in the opinion of the JCS and as approved by the Secretary of Defense.
- List the entities that fall under FAD V.
All other US forces or activities; approved programs of the military services and federal agencies not otherwise designated; and forces of SA program countries not otherwise designated.
- Who must review or delegate in writing the authority to certify that all requirements with priority designator A or B are appropriate and justified.
Commanders or heads of DOD activities.
- What is done to maintain the integrity of the UMMIPS?
The quantity of materiel included on priority designator 01 through 08 requisitions is restricted to that amount necessary to satisfy the immediate requirement
- Abuse and misuse of UMMIPS have far-reaching and negative results on the logistics system, in supply, contracting, and transportation. What type of review prevents this from occurring?
Before the fact review of the priority one requirement
- Who notifies the organization commander of adverse trends in high-priority requirements?
Base management and systems flight personnel
- What is the system that provides a method of obtaining the kinds of items required by AF organizations to maintain mission capability?

- When is a MICAP terminated?
At the time of due-out release, due-in or due-out cancellation, or downgrade to non-MICAP
- What is done with the B9(x) start/stop reports and MAPS when requirements computation is performed and the record is more than 90 days old?
They are deleted.
- Define MASS.
Mission capable (MICAP) asset sourcing system (MASS) is a user-friendly, menu-driven PC application and interacts with various systems on the SBLC to improve MICAP processing

- What responsibility is a part of every position description in the Air Force?
Property responsibility
- Who, if any one person, holds the title to Air Force property?
No one person; it is owned jointly by all of us.
- Who is responsible and accountable for material or equipment you use on the job?
You, your supervisor, and your commander.
- The wing commander has just called and informed the squadron commander that an egress maintenance truck assigned to his squadron is parked in front of the Base Exchange with four people on board. The squadron commander was also informed that if the situation occurs again, all trucks will be assigned to the regular motor pool. Why would the wing commander be so concerned with this maintenance truck?
It is the responsibility of the commander to ensure economical use and minimize abuse of equipment.
- How do commanders ensure economical use of the property under their jurisdiction?
By setting examples for those under their command and seeing that supplies are used for their intended purpose and not wasted.
- Why are supervisors often given the responsibility of control over equipment and supplies?
Because normally they are located near the property and thus have control over the property.
- What is custodial responsibility?
Custodial responsibility is the responsibility you must assume for the care of public property in your possession.
- Who would you notify before you transfer items listed on your CA/CRL out of your span of
control?
EME personnel.
- What do allowance standards provide?
Detailed information on what equipment is needed for an organization to perform its assigned peacetime and wartime missions, functions, and duties.
- What are the only items generally listed in the ASRS and what items are exempted from the
policy?
Nonexpendable items; specialized tools, personal retention and survival items, components of bench sets, and WRM.
- When submitting changes to your unit’s ASRS, what form would you use?
AF Form 601.
- When would an AFTO Form 375 be submitted when seeking to obtain repair for support
equipment?
If the repair cost estimate for support equipment that cost $2,500 or more exceeds the allowable one time repair expenditure. Also, for support equipment costing less than $2,500, but the maximum repair cost exceeds 75 percent of the replacement cost, the senior maintenance officer may authorize repairs that exceed this limit by submitting an AFTO Form 375 with a justification statement to the national supply class item manager.
