Marine Corps units are authorized to use PMO and their requisition tracking system – Prime, as a point of entry for IPG-1 requisitions of mission essential repair parts and other critical materiel, to minimize customer wait time. (paragraph 4)

What financial action is required for requisitions submitted through Prime?
