What regulation helps you understand the role of Logistics Readiness Squadron (LRS) in handling materials?

• A. AFI 21-101, Aircraft Management
• B. DAFI 23-101, Material Management Policy
• C. AFI 25-101, Logistics
• D. DoD 5105, Logistics Policy

Answer: (B)

Understanding how materiel is managed across its life cycle is the key idea here. DAFI 23-101, Material Management Policy, provides the Air Force-wide policy that governs how materiel is received, stored, safeguarded, tracked, issued, and redistributed. It lays out the responsibilities and procedures for managing property and supply assets, which is exactly what the Logistics Readiness Squadron handles when dealing with materials. By following this instruction, you see how items are accounted for, how custody and accountability are maintained, and how distribution and readiness support are coordinated across units.

The other regulations either focus on different areas (such as aircraft management) or speak to logistics in a broader or DoD-wide context without the Air Force-specific material management procedures that directly define the LRS role.
