Which regulation covers the use, return, and disposal of government materials?

• A. AFI 23-102, Property Accountability
• B. AFI 24-101, Logistics Policy
• C. AFI 23-101, Material Management Policy
• D. AFI 23-201, Asset Management

Answer: (C)

Managing government materials from start to finish is governed by the policy that lays out how we use, return, and dispose of property. AFI 23-101, Material Management Policy, provides the framework for the entire lifecycle of material management, detailing procedures for issuing, using, transferring, returning, and disposing of property and assigning responsibilities to ensure proper accountability and compliance. The other regulations touch on related areas but not the full scope of material management: AFI 23-102 focuses on property accountability and recordkeeping, AFI 24-101 covers logistics policy more broadly, and AFI 23-201 addresses asset management at a program level without the specific use/return/disposal policy.
