Which statement best defines a packing list?

• A. A general list of all items on the increment
• B. A list of all suffix items only
• C. A detailed list of all suffix items on the increment by item
• D. A summary of loading priorities

Answer: (C)

A packing list is a detailed, itemized record of every item included in the increment, with quantities and descriptions. This exacting level of detail lets you verify that nothing is missing during loading, transport, and issue by cross-checking each item against the record. It isn’t just a general list or a partial summary of contents or loading priorities; it provides a complete accounting of all items, item by item, so accountability and inventory control are upheld.
