What are the three authorization documents?

• A. MTOE, TDA, CTA.
• B. MTOE, CTA, TAA.
• C. TDA, CTA, JTA.
• D. MTOF, TDA, CTA.

Answer: (A)

In property accountability, you rely on three documents to establish exactly what a unit is authorized to possess and use. The standard organizational and equipment baseline is set by a table that specifies the unit’s structure and the gear it normally requires. For units that don’t fit the standard table, an additional table provides the necessary manpower and equipment allowances. The third document finishes the picture by authorizing items or allowances needed for special missions or temporary needs that aren’t covered by the first two.

So, together, these three—one for the standard organization and equipment, one for general allowances, and one for mission-specific or temporary authorizations—form the complete authorization framework.
