To whom is copy 2 of the 1348-1 distributed?

Copy 2 of the 1348-1 is distributed to the individual who signs for and receives the item. This distribution is crucial as it serves as a formal acknowledgment of receipt. It ensures that the person receiving the item has documented proof of the transaction, which is essential for accountability and tracking of inventory. Having this copy allows the recipient to confirm that they have received the item as per the specified details in the 1348-1 form.

The other options involve roles that are important in the supply chain process but do not pertain directly to the individual receipt and acknowledgment of the item itself. The base supply control officer, maintenance scheduler, and DIFM monitor all have specific responsibilities related to managing inventory or scheduling maintenance, but they do not typically receive this specific copy for personal acknowledgment of item receipt.
