Who is responsible for maintaining the property book for a unit?

The property book officer is specifically designated to maintain the property book for a unit. This role involves accurate management and recording of all equipment and supplies that the unit possesses. The property book officer ensures that the unit’s inventory is up to date, reconciles discrepancies, and manages any changes or transactions related to the property book. This is crucial for ensuring accountability and effective logistics management, as the property book serves as the official record of the unit's assets.

While the unit commander, supply sergeant, and logistics officer may play supportive roles in inventory management and oversight, it is the property book officer who has the primary responsibility and training to maintain the property book. Their expertise is essential for aligning the unit’s records with regulatory requirements and ensuring that all property is accounted for properly.
