Purpose

This pamphlet implements a standard to commanders and staff for the Armywide Hazardous Material Management Program (HMMP). The purpose of the HMMP is to integrate accountability for hazardous material (HM) into day-to-day decision making, planning, operations, and compliance across all Army missions, activities, and functions on the installation (garrison, depot, State Area Command, or Joint Force Headquarters or in regional clusters of installations). This pamphlet expands on the HMMP policy contained in AR 710-2, providing guidance for establishing standard, centralized management business practices that can be tailored to account for different size installations with varied operational missions. Army commands with responsibility for installations can also provide guidance for phased implementation of HMMPs to coincide with the availability of automated management applications and funding.
