Excerpt from Paper Work of the Medical Department of the United States Army: A Guide for Administrative Work In time of peace, ordnance and ordnance stores are issued from the various arsenals and depots, to the extent authorized by regulations, on requisitions submitted in accordance with existing orders. In time of war, issues may be made to tr00ps in service on the order of any general or field officer commanding an Army, garrison, or detachment, or of a chief ordnance officer of an Army, Army corps, or division. Requisitions for ordnance supplies to meet current needs will be filled from a depot, under the instructions of the department commander. The officer in charge will be responsible, under the department commander. That sufficient stores, procured by timely requisitions upon the Chief of Ordnance, are always on hand. Requisitions for ordnance and ordnance stores not on hand within a department must be approved by the immediate commanders. The personal approval of the department commander or of the chief ordnance officer of the department is necessary, but in the absence of the department commander the approval may be made in his name by one of his staff officers. Requisitions will be made in conformity with the supply tables prepared by the Chief of Ordnance, unless extraordinary circumstances, to be plainly set forth in each case, should require a larger supply of one or more of the articles authorized. The prices of ordnance and ordnance stores may be found by reference to Pamphlet No. 1879 of the Ordnance Department. The Requisition for Ordnance Property (form 386, od.) is prepared by the supply officer or commanding officer of an organization, in triplicate, signed by the supply officer (or and approved by the post, camp, or regimental commander.

This latter officer, in turn, forwards the approved requisition to Department Headquarters, in du plicate, from whence one copy is sent to the Supply Depot for issue, after being approved by the department commander or of the department ordnance officer. The duplicate copy is retained at department headquarters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
