Under the CSDP, whose responsibilities include instilling supply discipline in their organization?

• A. Commanders
• B. Supervisory personnel
• C. Subordinates
• D. External auditors

Answer: (A)

Supply discipline is established from the top and cascades down through the organization. Under the CSDP, the commander bears the ultimate duty to create and maintain discipline in how the unit handles property and supplies. This means setting clear policies, defining accountability, providing necessary training, and enforcing consequences for lapses. Supervisory personnel carry out and reinforce these procedures, ensuring compliance and guiding the team, but the overall responsibility to instill and sustain that discipline rests with the commander. Subordinates are responsible for following the established rules, while external auditors review and verify compliance, not instill discipline within the unit.
