Study Notes
Ammunition Needs and Training Requirements
- Yearly ammunition requirements for each unit are contained in the TAMIS system.
- Unit Commanders rely on approved training standards and strategies to determine ammunition training needs.
Forms for Ammunition Management
- DA Form 1687 is required to specify individuals authorized to request and receive ammunition.
- DD Form 626 outlines the criteria for inspecting vehicles transporting ammunition.
- DA Form 581 is used for requesting, receiving, and turning in ammunition.
- DA Form 3151-R is necessary for inventorying, securing loads, and placarding vehicles during ammunition issues.
Vehicle Inspection and Transport Procedures
- Inspecting transport vehicles before ammunition issue ensures they can pass inspection at the ASP (Ammunition Supply Point).
- Key items subject to inspection include windshield wipes, mirrors, and horn functionality.
- Before leaving the ASP, complete tasks using DA Form 3151-R to ensure proper inventory and load security.
Documentation for Ammunition Turn-In
- After an ammunition issue, units expect to receive DA Form 581, DA Form 3151-R, and DA Form 2890 from the ASP.
- DA Form 5515 maintains signature accountability during field operations.
- A unit may face suspension from requesting ammunition if unexpended ammo and residue are combined improperly.
Inventory and Residue Collection
- Collecting ammunition and residue post-training involves segregating live ammo, verifying lot numbers, and calculating residue weights.
- To report shortages of unexpended ammunition, DA Form 5811 must be completed.
- Inventorying live ammunition at the ASP includes inspections, packaging checks, and documentation completion.
Stock Control and Reconciliation
- Stock Control checkers use distinct forms to reconcile ammunition and residue, and not exclusively DA Form 581.
- The Range Safety Officer interview serves as a helpful tool for Stock Control when determining residue amounts.
Understanding Ammunition Residue
- Items like gas masks are not categorized as ammunition residue.
- A unit returning 450 live rounds from an initial 1,000 rounds of .9mm, with a brass conversion rate of .009lb, results in a total brass weight of 4.95lb.
Ammunition Amnesty Program
- The primary goal of the Ammunition Amnesty program is to ensure the safe return of misappropriated ammunition and residue.
- Only specific ammunition, such as .25 caliber, is acceptable for deposit in an Amnesty Ammunition collection box.
