Which documents demonstrate custody during hand-offs in MILPROP?

• A. Internal memo only.
• B. Hand receipts and transfer documents.
• C. Invoices.
• D. Packing lists.

Answer: (B)

During MILPROP hand-offs, you need an auditable trail showing who has the property and when custody changes. A hand receipt records the property assigned to a person or unit and defines their responsibility for use and care. A transfer document formalizes the actual transfer from one custodian to another, capturing item details, quantities, dates, and the signatures of both parties. Together, they prove custody during the hand-off. Invoices relate to payment, packing lists show shipment contents but don’t establish custody, and internal memos are communications without accountability for possession.
