Selected
supply clerk
In a military context, the term suggests the person in charge of a supply room or commissary, rather than the place itself. The problem is that "supply clerk" doesn't sound as good. In a prison context, "trustee" would be better, and could work there, if the bases are prison-like.

Supply Sergeant may have the right tone.

If there\'s any dialog in the game, he should use clipped expressions and people should call him \"sarge.\"

Извиняюсь, за очепятку в sErgeant. Раз игра, может быть удобно просто
quartermaster сказать. По смыслу тоже и есть: интендант, начальник снабжения и т.д.
