Which statement about the REC Log is true?

• A. To log safety incidents
• B. To track equipment inventories in the SOC
• C. To provide a record of command/unit entries into the SOC systems or components
• D. To document maintenance schedules

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that the REC Log is about creating an auditable record of who enters the SOC systems or components and when. It tracks each command or access event by unit or command, with timestamps, so you can trace actions back to the responsible party. This helps with accountability, audits, and incident investigations because there’s a clear trail of who accessed what and when. It’s not meant for logging safety incidents, tracking equipment inventories, or documenting maintenance schedules, which are handled by other logs. The REC Log is specifically focused on recording entries into the SOC systems or components.
