What does Class III specifically exclude?

Class III of property accountability typically refers to the category of items that are considered to be sensitive and may be tied to operational capabilities, often including items like weapons and ammunition. However, it specifically excludes petroleum products because these are categorized differently, typically under Class II or other classes that pertain to bulk fuels and consumables.

Excluding petroleum products from Class III is significant because petroleum, while it may be crucial for operations, does not fall under the classification related to the accountability of weapons and ammunition. This distinction helps organizations maintain better control and management over different categories of materials based on their criticality and usage. Other items such as ammunition, repair parts, and personal items may be included in Class III depending on their relevance to operational needs or personnel support, but petroleum products are treated separately due to their widespread nature and different logistical requirements.
