The consumer phase of a military supply extends from receipt of finished supplies by the military services, through issue for use or consumption,including requisitioning, receipt, storage, stock control, shipment, disposition, identification, and accounting. The supply point is a location where supplies, services and materials are located and issued. These locations are temporary and mobile, typically being occupied for up to 72 hours.
