SF 82 is associated with which budget area?

• A. Medical budget
• B. Operations budget
• C. Administration budget
• D. Food service budget

Answer: (D)

SF 82 is used for budgeting the dining and food service operations. It covers the costs tied to providing meals to personnel—food procurement, galley labor, kitchen supplies, equipment for the mess, and related dining facility expenses. Because it deals specifically with feeding the crew, it belongs in the food service budget. It wouldn’t apply to the medical budget, which accounts for-health services and medications; the operations budget, which covers mission tasks and maintenance; or the administration budget, which handles office and support functions.
