Who are the signatories on the R-14 CA/CRL for custody?

The correct choice indicates that the signatories on the R-14 CA/CRL (Custody Authorization/Change Request List) for custody are the custodian and commander. This highlights the importance of accountability in equipment management within the Air Force.

The custodian is responsible for the physical care and management of the equipment, ensuring that it is maintained, stored correctly, and accounted for. The commander, on the other hand, provides oversight and ensures that all actions taken regarding the equipment align with organizational objectives and policies.

The requirement for both the custodian and the commander to sign the R-14 document validates the collaborative nature of asset management within the Air Force, ensuring that there is both responsibility and authority acknowledged for the custody of equipment. This process helps to minimize errors and maintains the integrity of the equipment management system.

In contrast to this correct answer, item managers, quarterly reviewers, and major command level staff have different roles and responsibilities in the Air Force equipment management framework that do not directly pertain to signing for custody on the R-14 CA/CRL. While they may be involved in monitoring, assessing, or overseeing equipment management practices, the direct accountability for custody transfer and authorization is specifically assigned to the custodian and commander.
