The collateral equipment custodian was designed by whom?

• A. Collateral officer designed
• B. Equipment officer designed
• C. Logistics supervisor designed
• D. Maintenance supervisor designed

Answer: (B)

The question is about who defines the duties and appointment of the collateral equipment custodian. In Navy property management, the Equipment Officer is the person who sets up the equipment program, including who serves as the collateral equipment custodian and what their responsibilities are. The Equipment Officer establishes the policies for accountability, safeguarding, and documentation of collateral assets, and formally designates the custodian within the unit. Other roles—such as collateral officer, logistics supervisor, or maintenance supervisor—may be involved in operations or oversight, but they do not establish or assign the custodian role. So the custodian’s design and designation come from the Equipment Officer.
