requisition
Formal supply order
Requisition is a formal demand or request, typically from an authority: The army issued a requisition for supplies.
As a verb, to requisition something is to demand it officially, often implying seizure or compulsory acquisition: The government requisitioned private vehicles during the emergency.
The word carries overtones of bureaucratic or military authority—you requisition what you have the power to take.
