Who uses the MSDC and applicable allowance standards to determine weapons authorizations IAW AFI 23-201?

• A. LRS/Plans and Integration Office
• B. Munitions Accountable Systems Officer
• C. Civil Engineer Squadron/ Readiness and Emergency Management Section
• D. LRS/Equipment Accountability Element Section

Answer: (D)

The function is handled by the element responsible for tracking and controlling weapons and related equipment. This unit uses the MSDC data and the applicable allowance standards to determine exactly which weapons are authorized to be on hand, in line with AFI 23-201. The Equipment Accountability Element within the Logistics Readiness Squadron is charged with weapon and equipment accountability, and that role includes applying the MSDC and allowance standards to establish weapon authorizations. Other offices support related activities—planning and integration, higher-level munitions oversight, and civil-engineering readiness—but they do not determine weapon authorizations using the MSDC and allowance standards at the installation level.
