Who directs the calculation of NAVMC 10031 totals for mileage reports?

The NAVMC 10031 totals for mileage reports are directed by the Unit Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). The SOP serves as a formal document that outlines the specific policies and procedures to be followed within a unit, including the protocol for calculating and reporting mileage. Establishing clear guidelines ensures consistency and accuracy in reporting, making it essential for operational effectiveness. This approach allows units to tailor the procedures to their specific circumstances while adhering to broader regulations and standards. It is crucial for maintaining accountability and ensuring that all reporting is completed in a systematic manner, which the SOP is designed to facilitate.
