Which type of issue request authorizes only personnel listed on AF Form 68, Munitions Authorization Record to accept receipt of training munitions?

• A. Issue
• B. Receipt
• C. Custody
• D. Control

Answer: (C)

When handling training munitions, who can physically receive and take possession is controlled by custody. Custody defines the person or personnel authorized to hold and handle the munitions, and AF Form 68 lists those individuals. Therefore, an issue request that allows only those listed on the Munitions Authorization Record to accept receipt is establishing custody—transferring and placing the item in the care and possession of the designated personnel. This ensures clear accountability and safe handling. If the term were about releasing items to an activity, that would be an issue; if it were just about recording that something was received, that would be receipt; if it were about limiting general access, that would be control. But acceptance of the item centers on who has custody.
