Question

Which of the following identifies the first three positions of a materiel management unit type code (UTC)?

a. JFA.
b. JFB.
c. UFM.
d. XFH.

Answer 1

The first three positions of a materiel management unit type code (UTC) identify the category of the item.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first three positions of a materiel management unit type code (UTC) identify the **category** of the item. Each position corresponds to a specific category within the materiel management system.

1. Position 1: The first position represents the **supply class**. This position categorizes the item by the type of supply it is, such as ammunition (A), subsistence (B), or clothing (C).
2. Position 2: The second position represents the **supply group**. This position further refines the categorization by providing more specific information about the item.
3. Position 3: The third position represents the **supply subclass**. This position narrows down the categorization even further, providing additional details about the item.

Based on the given options, none of them specifically identify the first three positions of a materiel management UTC. Therefore, the answer is none of the above.
