Purpose

This regulation prescribes Army ammunition logistics policy at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels (see app B for Army ammunition management in the Indo-Pacific Theater). It applies across the operational spectrum-humanitarian assistance, homeland defense, consequence management, support to civil authorities, and combat and contingency operations. It provides specific policy for the accountability and assignment of responsibility for ammunition issued to or used by any person or unit at any level (see app C for policy on nonstandard ammunition and explosives (AE)). This regulation also provides guidance on accountability and management of ammunition stocks received, stored, issued, and safeguarded by tactical (deployable and nondeployable) and fixed-based ammunition supply activities (ASAs). Department of the Army Pamphlet (DA Pam) 700-16 provides the ammunition logistics procedures of the policy outlined in this regulation.
