Red TAT is reported on which document and indicates what?

Red TAT is reported on which document and indicates what?

• A. Not used in theater
• B. Ground vehicles only
• C. Reported on the UDL/OEL, shipped separately from troops but around the same time
• D. Indicates ammunition only

Answer: (C)

Red TAT is a logistics indicator that flags items needing separate handling from the main troop shipment. This designation is recorded on the documents that track loads and issue to units—the UDL/OEL—so everyone knows how these items will be moved and delivered. Seeing Red TAT on those documents tells the receiving unit that the item isn’t loaded with the troops themselves and will be shipped separately, though it arrives within roughly the same time frame. This helps ensure proper separation, timing, and accountability during unloading and distribution. The marker isn’t limited to theater use or to ammunition; it specifically signals that the item should be treated as a separate shipment, even if it arrives near the other supplies.
