Who is responsible for maintaining the CBR-D Bill?

• A. DCA
• B. CO
• C. CNO
• D. DCPO

Answer: (A)

Maintaining the CBR-D Bill is the responsibility of the Damage Control Assistant because this officer manages the ship’s CBR-D program, including the equipment readiness and the records that track it. The CBR-D Bill is the formal inventory and condition log for all CBR-D items—suits, detectors, decontamination gear, and related supplies—and it must be kept current, with items properly dated, located, and serviceable. The DCA coordinates with Supply and the DC division to ensure items are procured, inspected, and replaced as needed, and that accountability is maintained during inspections and drills. While the CO has ultimate authority and the DCPO handles day-to-day gear handling, the task of upkeep and accuracy of the CBR-D Bill rests with the DCA.
