When is the first quarter OPTAR grant posted to the Requisition/OPTAR Log?

The first quarter OPTAR (Operating Target) grant is posted to the Requisition/OPTAR Log on the first day of the new fiscal year, which is October 1st. This timing is essential for the financial planning and budgeting process within military logistics operations. It allows units to start the new fiscal year with a clear understanding of their allocated funds for the first quarter.

The initial posting on October 1st enables the respective units to begin processing their requisitions as soon as the fiscal year starts, ensuring that they can obtain necessary supplies and support operations without delays. Understanding the importance of this date helps maintain effective logistical management and ensure that operations can proceed smoothly from the very beginning of the fiscal year.

The other options do not align with the established procedures for posting the OPTAR grant, which is designed to provide financial clarity and facilitate planning for the upcoming quarter.
