Class symbols and Sub-classes listed with images
Term used by the US Department of Defense to categorize supplies and material in order to facilitate efficient supply chain management. Broken out into 10 classes of supply, but not to be confused with “federal supply classes” (FSC).The 10 classes are shown below (Source: Joint Publication 4-09, Figure C-1, Page C-11)
All of the items which must be distributed to the Warfighter have been divided into ten categories, or classes, based upon their respective requirements for procurement, packaging, storage, handling, transportation. These requirements may be in areas of safety, environmental, size, hazard category, end use, shelf life, etc. These categories are intended to facilitate supply management and planning. Each class is further broken down into subclasses to further delineate distribution requirements. DoD Joint Publication, JP 4-09, "Distribution Operations", provides a detailed description of each class of supply and the unique requirements for each class as part of a "Commander's Checklist for Distribution of Materiel and Movement of Forces" in Appendix C. The corresponding figure, found in JP 4-09 on page C-11, shows the symbols for each supply class and the subclasses.
The ten classes of supply are designated by Roman numerals as listed below:
- Rations and gratuitous issue of health, morale and welfare items;
- Clothing, individual equipment, tentage, tool sets, and administrative and housekeeping supplies and equipment;
- Petroleum, oils, and lubricants;
- Construction materials;
- Ammunition;
- Personal demand items;
- Major end items, including tanks, helicopters and radios;
- Medical;
- Repair parts and components for equipment maintenance;
- Nonstandard items to support nonmilitary programs such as agriculture and economic development.
