What is LOGREQ used for and when should it be transmitted?

• A. Submitted by a ship prior to entering a port to notify the proper commands of logistical requirements while visiting that port; should be transmitted no later than 48 hours prior to arrival.
• B. Used to report casualty assistance.
• C. Primary source of ship location.
• D. Advises on drug and alcohol policies.

Answer: (A)

LOGREQ is the ship’s formal request for logistical support at a port visit or exercise. It tells the receiving commands what the ship needs from the port and supporting organizations—fuel, berthing, messing, stores, transportation, craneage, maintenance, medical support, and other services. The request should be transmitted no later than 48 hours before arrival so planners have enough time to allocate resources and arrange port services, reducing delays or gaps when the ship arrives. This isnates the function of LOGREQ as a forward-planning tool for logistics, rather than casualty reporting, navigation/location tracking, or policy advisories.
