For overseas shipment with NSN/NATO stock number, which requisition code is appropriate?

The requisition code A01 is appropriate for overseas shipments with NSN (National Stock Number) or NATO stock numbers. This code is specifically designated for requisitions that require the acquisition of items to be shipped to overseas sites, ensuring proper processing and adherence to the specific logistical and regulatory requirements associated with international shipments.

Using A01 signals to the logistics and supply chain management systems that the order is destined for locations outside the continental United States, helping to streamline the movement of military supplies and resources in support of operations. It is essential to use the correct requisition code to prevent delays and ensure compliance with procedures tailored for international orders.

In contrast, the other codes—A02, A05, and A5A—are intended for different purposes related to shipments, such as specific types of requisition actions or geographic considerations that do not apply to overseas shipments in the context of NSN/NATO stock numbers. Thus, selecting A01 aligns with the requirements for managing overseas requisitions effectively.
