What is the primary purpose of the requisition/OPTAR Log?

The primary purpose of the requisition/OPTAR Log is to monitor financial expenditures. This log serves as a critical tool for tracking how funds are allocated and spent in relation to various requisitions, particularly focusing on the Operational Target (OPTAR). By meticulously logging each transaction and expenditure, it ensures that budgeting remains transparent and accountable, allowing for better financial management within the logistics system.

The log is essential in maintaining visibility over the financial resources of a unit, ensuring that the unit can effectively manage its budget, fulfill requirements, and avoid overspending. This financial oversight helps to ensure that the unit remains adequately funded to support its operations, thereby enhancing overall readiness and efficiency.
