Which two items are required to hold any fiscal roles or responsibilities?

• A. Appointment letter signed by CO and DD577
• B. Only appointment letter signed by CO
• C. DD577 only
• D. NAVMC 11869 DOA

Answer: (A)

To hold any fiscal role, you need both an official assignment and formal authorization. The appointment letter identifies who is in the fiscal position, and it must be signed by the Commanding Officer to be valid. The DD Form 577 provides the official grant of authority for that person to perform the duties tied to the role, creating a verifiable record of permission to act. Having both ensures there is a clear person responsible and a documented authorization to carry out the duties. Without the appointment letter, there’s no recognized holder of the role; without the DD Form 577, there’s no formal authority to act. Together, they satisfy the required accountability and control for fiscal responsibilities.
