In supply planning, which class would you assign for subsistence and basic living supplies?

• A. Class II
• B. Class III
• C. Class I
• D. Class VIII

Answer: (C)

Subsistence and basic living supplies belong in Class I. This category is dedicated to food, water, rations, and other essentials needed to sustain personnel. By grouping subsistence here, planners can focus on ensuring meals and basic provisions are available, separate from items like clothing and equipment (Class II), fuels (Class III), or medical materials (Class VIII). So subsistence is assigned to Class I because that class specifically covers the essentials required to sustain daily life in the field.
