PROCUREMENT HOW-TO-GUIDE

The USMC Heraldry and Streamers Procurement How to Guide provides guidance to Marine Corps Units on the offline requisition process of streamers and heraldry items. Please read instructions in entirety to mitigate delay in requisitioning process. 

 

STEP 1: HOW TO FILL OUT THE FORM

Each streamer requisition requires a DD-1348 form, and must include the following:

  1. Full name of streamer with any devices. Note: Do not add any NSNs; LOGCOM Albany will add them.
  2. Document number; each requisition must have its own document number.
  3. U/I, Quantity, SuppAdd, Sig Code, Fund Code, Priority, RDD and Adv Code
  4. Name of unit that will be displaying the streamer requisitioned along with:

Unit POC Name, Email, and Phone Number (COMM & DSN)

STEP 2: HOW TO SUBMIT FOR AUTHENTICATION

Each streamer requisition is reviewed by the Marine Corps History Division for accuracy before being forwarded to LOGCOM Albany for processing.

  1. To ensure your form is received, please save your file as an Excel form (.xlsx) or PDF.  Any other format will be stripped from the email system.  If unsure of the file type, simply scan and email as PDF.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  1. What does my unit rate?
  • Check your lineage and honors certificates or streamer entitlement.  The most recent copy is available here.
  • If not online, email the History Division at history.division@usmcu.edu for assistance.

 

  1. How do I track the requisition?

 

  1. I cannot find the NSNs to fill out the DD-1348 form, where do I get them from?
  • You do not need the NSNs.  Just fill in the full name of the streamer with its devices (example: three bronze stars)

 

  1. How long does it take before the unit receives the streamers after they send their order?
  • On average, once processed it currently takes anywhere from 30 – 90 days for a unit to receive their streamer order.  MCLB Albany does have a MLNO at DLA that oversees and monitors the streamer ordering process who constantly tracks each order as they come in.

 

  1. My Unit does not have a Supply Section, how do I determine the SuppAdd, Sig Code, Fund Code, Priority, RDD and Adv Code?
