REQUISITION DOCUMENT PREPARATION

MILSTRIP requisitioning is based upon the use of the coded, single-line, item document, DD Form 1348.  MILSTRIP relies upon automatic data processing equipment and coded data for processing requisitions.  Therefore, the requisitioner must take extreme care in selecting and assigning coded data elements.

MILSTRIP documents consist of requisitions, follow-ups, and cancellations. There are two different methods for submitting ammunition MILSTRIP documents into the ammunition supply system. The choice and method are determined by the following criteria:

 1. Submission by the Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS). Submission of MILSTRIP documents by the DAAS is the preferred method for submitting MILSTRIP documents, unless they are specifically excluded.

 2. Submission by naval message. A naval message is used only for those MILSTRIP documents specifically excluded from submission by DAAS.
