Who designates the supply custodian (S4)?

• A. The SF OIC
• B. The Medical Officer
• C. The Detention Officer
• D. The Operations Manager

Answer: (A)

Assigning the supply custodian is a command action tied to accountability for property under security control. The SF OIC is the supervisor in charge of Security Forces operations and holds the authority to designate who is responsible for custody, handling, and records for supplies. This ensures clear accountability and proper control over issue, turn-in, inventory, and access to supplies. The other roles listed do not have that responsibility within this context: the Medical Officer focuses on medical matters, the Detention Officer on detainee-related duties, and the Operations Manager oversees broader operations rather than the specific property accountability function. So the SF OIC is the one who designates the supply custodian.
