training ammunition within a disciplined acquisition, authorization,

and distribution system.

b. TAMS—

(1) Provides commanders and staff officers the system for managing training ammunition to accomplish their training mission (FM

25–100).

(2) Provides a standard methodology (STRAC) for determining

training ammunition requirements.

(3) Enables commanders to monitor subordinate elements through

authorizations.

(4) Encourages commanders to conserve ammunition through the

use of training devices, simulators, and simulation.

2–4. Programming and budgeting

The ODCSOPS provides to the ASA (RDA), training ammunitionrequirements for inclusion in the LRRDAP. The LRRDAP is reviewed, modified, and ultimately incorporated in the POM, which is

reviewed and approved by the Chief of Staff, Army and the Secretary of the Army. Submission of the Budget Estimate Submission to

OSD, appealing the OSD program budget decisions, and submission

tant Secretary of the Army (Financial Management). Congressional

action further modifies the ammunition procurement program, part of

which supports training requirements.

2–5. Authorizations

a. ODCSOPS reviews requirements and assets to develop training

ammunition authorizations for distribution.

b. MACOMs administer authorizations. Subject to availability of

assets, all MACOMs receive 100 percent of validated requirements.

If assets are constrained, each MACOM is authorized only that part

o f t h e t o t a l A r m y r e q u i r e m e n t c o r r e s p o n d i n g t o i t s s h a r e o f

available assets. For example, if a MACOM requirement is 20 percent of the Army’s requirement, it would normally be apportioned 20

percent of the assets, or as agreed upon by the TAAC JWG.

c. Authorizations are the key to training ammunition management.

Installations will not forecast more ammunition on the WARS report

than authorized for both Active Army and RC units conducting training at the installation. AMC will not distribute more ammunition

thanthe installation has forecasted on the WARS report or been

allocated.

d. ODCSOPS will publish initial training ammunition authorizations for the subsequent FY no later than the second quarter of the

current FY. TAAC JWG will finalize the authorizations.

2–6. Execution management

a. TAMIS maintains the only official database for current authorizations and expenditures of training ammunition. Also, TAMISserves as an authorization database for distribution of missile assets

in the Missile Distribution Plan (MIDP).

b . S u b o r d i n a t e c o m m a n d e r s w i l l u s e T A M I S d a t a b a s e s a n d

reports to manage authorizations and expenditures.

c. MACOMs will submit changes to requirements andauthorizations when identified.

2 AR 5–13 • 20 December 1994
d. Installations will use TAMIS databases and reports to monitor

expenditures.

2–7. Distribution of critical assets

a. HQDA controls critical ammunition materiel toensure equitable allocation and distribution of assets in short supply.

b. The CALS meets semi-annually to allocate anddistribute conventional ammunition in short supply, including items consumedin

training.

c. MICOM develops the MIDP based on HQDA guidanceon asset allocation. MIDP is the HQDA and AMC approved distribution

plan for missile ammunition and materiel, to include training practice, service practice, and war reserve stocks allocated for training

consumption. MIDP world wide review is normally conducted semiannually at MICOM.

d. HQDA via the CALS will allocate training ammunition to each

MACOM for their subordinate units. IOC or MICOM National Inventory Control Points (NICPs) item managers will reject reque s t s f o r t r a i n i n g a m m u n i t i o n e x c e e d i n g t h e M A C O M a l l o c a t i o n

The Training Ammunition Authorization Committee

3–1. Objective

The TAAC is a continuing standing committee composed of senior

A r m y r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s o f i n t e r e s t e d s t a f f a g e n c i e s a n d M A C O M s ,

chaired by the Director of Training, ODCSOPS. The committee will

periodically review Army training ammunition resources, requirements, and management. This general officer TAAC will convene

only when the JWG, which meets in May/June of each year, cannot

resolve an issue.

3–2. Functions of the JWG

The TAAC JWG will—

a. Validate Army training ammunition requirements through the

POM years.

b. Finalize training ammunition authorizations forthe next fiscal

year.

c. Review training ammunition management practices and make

ammunition requirements and provide authorizations. The hostinstallation and the tenant unit will administer the authorizations with

the approval of both MACOMs. Local installations will ensure all

unit TAMIS authorizations are not exceeded. In addition, overseas

MACOMs will manage authorizations for units located in the theater,

but not under their command, as specified in a letter of agreement

between the unit and the parent MACOM.

5–2. Authorization changes

a. MACOMs may adjust authorizations between assigned units

within established policies. However, installations will not adjust authorizations between units of different MACOMs without concurrence of the affected MACOM headquarters and HQDA.

b. Unless prohibited or restricted by MACOM policy, commanders may adjust ammunition authorizations for subordinate units to

meet special needs of unit training programs, provided the total

quantity of ammunition authorized to the parent command is not

exceeded.

c. MACOMs will review, on a quarterly basis, remaining fiscal

year requirements and return authorizations that are no longer required to HQDA not later than 15 days following the review.

5–3. Approval of ammunition requests

In accordance with AR 710–2 and DA PAM 710–2–1 Commanders

o f o v e r s e a s M A C O M s , C O N U S i n s t a l l a t i o n s , C O N U S A s , a n d

State Adjutants General will establish procedures for approving requests forissuing training ammunition. These procedures will ensure

s u b o r d i n a t e a n d t e n a n t u n i t s d o n o t e x c e e d t r a i n i n g a m m u n i t i o n

authorizations.

5–4. Army units training at other than home station

Commands having units training at, and drawing ammunition from,

other than home station will send forecasts to the installation or

AR 5–13 • 20 December 1994 3
overseas MACOM. The support installation will ensure authorizations are not exceeded.The MACOM must coordinate allocations for

CALS items.

5–5. Supplemental authorization

HQDA may approve supplemental authorizations to MACOMs to

m e e t o n e - t i m e r e q u i r e m e n t s . N o r m a l l y , a p p r o v a l w i l l o c c u r o n l y

when the requirement supports a HQDA-directed tasking made after

the approval of annual authorizations. Submit requests for supplemental authorizations through parent command channels to Deputy

DAMO–TRO, Washington, DC 20310–0400.

5–6. Ammunition forecasting

a. Units will use a 12 month moving forecast to maintain an upto-date projection of monthly ammunition needs that align withplanned training events. Commanders will use forecasts to consolidate

needsand to ensure forecasted quantities DA Form 5514–R (TAMIS

Training Ammunition Forecast Report) do not exceed TAMIS authorizations. This forecast will be used as input to the WARS report

and submitted to IOC with an information copy sent to the supporting installation.

b. The forecast will result in an ammunition allocation based on

available assets. Ammunition allocations will not exceed authorizations; however, because installation forecasts include tenant units,

other services, etc., IOC/MICOM will verify authorizations with

MACOM ammunition managers before canceling a requisition appearing to exceed authorizations.

c. Appendix B covers the 12-month moving forecast. Units will

p r e p a r e m o n t h l y f o r e c a s t s a n d i n c l u d e f o r e c a s t s f o r t h e n e x t

12months. Submit changes 120 days before the training event.

d . E i g h t h A r m y u n i t s s u b m i t t r a i n i n g a m m u n i t i o n f o r e c a s t s

quarterly.

5–7. Requests for ammunition

Units requesting ammunition will use DA Form 581 (Request for

Issueand Turn-In of Ammunition). (See DA PAM 710–2–1 for

preparation instructions.) Requests for specific quantities of ammunition will be based on equipment or system availability, range time,

unit strength, and training objectives. Commanders at all levels will

e n s u r e a m m u n i t i o n r e q u e s t e d i s w i t h i n a u t h o r i z a t i o n s a n d c o r r e -

sponds with the ammunition forecast.

5–8. Allocation, distribution, and redistribution of

shortage items

a. The CALS, under the provisions of AR15–16, will allocate,

distribute, and redistribute convention alammunition items for which

demand, exceeds or is forecasted to exceed supply.

b . H Q D A a l l o c a t e s m i s s i l e s a c c o r d i n g t o A R 7 1 0 – 1 a n d

AR700–120. Approved allocations are publishedsemi-annually in

the MIDP.

5–9. Carry over of authorizations to the succeeding fiscal year

HQDA must approve carry over of unused authorizations to the next

fiscal year. Atraining event not completed due to circumstances

beyond the control of theunit is one example possibly warranting

approval. In these instances, unitswill forward carry over requests

through parent MACOM for endorsement to HQDA.

5–10. Training Ammunition Expenditures

Units should expend only training ammunition necessary to conductvalid training to achieve STRAC training strategies. Training

ammunition managers at all levels will closely monitor and evaluate

use of training ammunition. Within MACOM guidelines, units will

turn back training ammunition authorizations excess to annual training requirements, on a quarterly basis, through MACOMs for cross

leveling or return to HQDA.

Chapter 6

The Training Ammunition Management Information

System

6–1. Concept

TAMIS was developed to support the goals and objectives of TAMS. Information regarding the authorization and use of training ammunition is stored and retrieved for analysis.

6–2. System description

a. TAMIS is an automated data processing (ADP) system consisting of the following:

(1) HQDA maintained central databases.

(2) An input system for entering database update transactions.

(3) Computer programs to update databases and produce reports

f o r a n a l y s i s a t H Q D A , M A C O M s , C O N U S A , S t a t e A d j u t a n t

Generals (AG), NICPs, installations, and units.

b. TAMIS databases are updated by source datainput provided

d i r e c t l y f r o m e a c h i n s t a l l a t i o n / C O N U S A / S t a t e A G s a n d

overseas MACOM.

6–3. TAMIS data input (RCS CSGPO–401, Training

Ammunition Report)

a. Units or activities drawing or turning inammunition for training will use DA Form 581 as prescribed by DAPAM 710–2–1.

b. Units or activities will return one copy of each completed DA

Form 581 to the installation office (host installation fortenant units)

responsible for training ammunition management.

c. Supporting installation will input weekly to TAMIS all DA

Form 581 transactions and any corrections for training events. Unserviceable ammunition (only Condition Code H) is not submitted to

TAMISfor database updating.

6–4. Training event codes

a. Enter training event codes on DA Form 581 to describe the

intended use of the training ammunition. Include the training event

codes on the DA Form 581 for turn-ins. The code used on the turni n d o c u m e n t s w i l l c o r r e s p o n d w i t h t h e c o d e u s e d o n t h e i s s u e

document.

b. Training event codes are two or three characters. Two character

codes will be expanded to three character codes, where appropriate,

by adding a suffix to more fully describe the training event. For

example: the code “BT” describes the training event of Basic Training (BT), however, if, as a part of BT, ammunition is needed for rifle

qualification, the training event code would be “BTQ.”

c. Use the following training event codes to describe all uses of

training ammunition:

Appendix C

Training Ammunition Guidelines for Units

C–1. Purpose

Provides using units standardized guidance on training ammunition

management procedures. MACOM, division, and local regulations

and directives will take precedence over provisions of this appendix

when conflicts exist. Proponentsof MACOM, division and local

regulations will incorporate provisions of this appendix in the next

revision if possible. Where local peculiarities do notpermit the use

of these procedures, maintain local procedures. Refer questions pertaining to the guidance contained in this appendix through command

channels to Deputy Cheif Of Staff For Operations, 400 Pentagon,

ATTN: DAMO–TRO, Washington, DC 20310–0400.

C–2. Publications to have on hand are listed below

a. DA Pam 350–38.

b. DA Pam 350–39.

c. AR 710–2.

d. DA Pam 710–2–1.

e. FM 25–100.

f. TAMIS Users’ Manual.

g. MACOM, installation, and unit directives and SOPs pertaining

to ammunition and training ammunition.

C–3. Timelines, annual actions, and reports

Normally, actions and reports will follow a recurring annualtimeline

to allow for timely flow of training ammunition requirements andauthorizations to and from the MACOMs and to align with the DA

programmingand budgeting process. Those actions and timelines

follow. MACOM or installation management offices may supplement

to the extent they do notalter the following HQDA deadlines:

a . J a n u a r y — C o r p s / D i v i s i o n s , C O N U S A , S t a t e s a n d i n s t a l l a t i o n s

TAMIS data base.

g. August 15—Training ammunition managers provides sub-authorizations to major units, separate battalions, or separate companies

via TAMIS authorization data base.

h. October 1—Units begin use of new fiscal year authorizations.

C–4. Determining requirements

Use the following methodology to calculate training ammunition

requirements:

a. Obtain a Unit Annual Master Training Planfrom the unit training officer. Identify and list training events scheduled/planned within

the fiscal year.

b. Select ammunition quantities from appropriate tables in DA

Pam 350–38 or DA Pam 350–39 for Special Operations Forces. Use

only the quantities for events listed in the master training plan. For

example, if a unit is conducting annual qualification for the M16A1/

A2 rifle and does not have access to a range that can operate at

night, then the ammunition quantities for the night fire exercise are

not needed.

c. For ammunition items based on personnel count, i.e., grenades,

CS capsules, etc., obtain a projection from personnel officer, otherwise use MTOE strengths. For example, if a unit is authorized 460

personnel, but the personnel officer is projecting 85 percent assigned,then use 391 projected strength as a basis. Table C–1 below

shows anexample of one method of calculating gross requirements

based on projected strength.

Table C–1

Gross requirements calculations

d. Obtain a projection of on hand weapons from the unit supply

officer. When calculating requirements for weapon systems, use the

p r o j e c t e d o n h a n d q u a n t i t y , o t h e r w i s e u s e M T O E a u t h o r i z e d

quantity.

e. When the total requirement is completed, compare the total

with the amount actually expended last year. TAMIS expenditure

these reports on a weekly (or as needed) basis through channels from

the installation, division, or State TAMIS manager. If the computed

quantity is different than the historical expenditures, a subjective

analysis may be required. The following questions should be asked:

(1) Has personnel strength changed?

(2) Has equipment on hand changed?

(3) Have values in DA Pam 350–38 changed?

(4) Are more or fewer ranges available?

(5) Has the MTOE changed?

(6) Has training guidance other than DA Pam 350–38 changed?

f. Answers to these questions will help justify requests for increases or decreases later when the annual authorization is received.

g. Submit the calculated requirement for each DODIC in the annual submission each January or when required by the MACOM

or Installation Training Management Office.

C–5. Responsibilities at unit level

T r a i n i n g a m m u n i t i o n m a n a g e m e n t a t t h e u n i t l e v e l i s n o r m a l l y

there sponsibility of the plans and operations officer. The operations

officer and commander will review completed annual submissions

and approve fiscal year authorizations.

C–6. Requesting additional authorizations

Insufficient initial authorizations, due to changes in training plans,

8 AR 5–13 • 20 December 1994
authorized MTOE and TDA changes, etc., may cause a request for

additional authorizations. Some items may be constrained due to

asset levels, suspensions, or disruptions in production. Units requiring additional authorizations will submit requests to the next higher

command per MACOM,CONUSA, State or installation guidance. A

complete justification to includedata calculated in paragraph C–4

above, will be made according to MACOM/installation guidance.

The commander will sign the request. Higher echelons will disapprove the request if warranted, fill from authorization sturned back

by other units, or pass the request to higher echelons for consideration. Unit training plans for later in the fiscal year should not be

canceled or constrained because authorizations may be available due

toother unit turn backs of unneeded authorizations later in the year.

events through parent command channels; however, resource routine

events within authorizations provided.

C–7. Use of automated systems

TAMIS has been active since 1980. It is an Army wide system for

which terminals are normally located at each MACOM, Corps/Division, installation, CONUSA, or State. Ammunition authorizations,

expenditures, and requirements are maintained for each UIC (battalion or separate company) in the Army and are updated weekly. Units

may request a copy of a report containing this information for the

unit on an as required basis.

C–8. Forecasting ammunition

In addition to the annual forecast (para 5–6), when changes occursubmit monthly forecasts through channels to the corps, installation

or State. Submit increases 120 days prior to the training event. Use

the forecast to prepare the monthly input to WARS. This information

is usedat the wholesale level to allocate ammunition to meet worldwide needs.

C–9. Issues and turn-ins

a. Requesting ammunition for issue normally requires submission

of a DA Form 581 prior to requested pick up date. Normally, within

CONUS forward the request to the ASP not later than 7days prior to

pick up or in accordance with ASP standard operating procedures.

DA Form 581 is normally prepared by the unit’s accountable officer

who signs the form in the requester’s block as the requesting official.

Proper completion of DA Form 581 is shown in DA Pam710–2–1.

The DA Form 581 is normally authenticated in the authentication

block by the Division’s Ammunition Manager, installation ammunition manager or National Guard State Training Ammunition Planner (STAP) who verifies the unit has sufficient authorizations to

draw the ammunition. The form is then forwarded to the supporting

A S P , w h e r e a p i c k u p a p p o i n t m e n t i s s c h e d u l e d f o r t h e u n i t .

OCONUS units will forward transportation requests to the Division

Ammunition Officer (DAO) or his equivalent. The unit must contact

the ASP for pick up appointment according to the ASP external

standing operating procedure and the DA Form 581 is submitted at

the time of pick up.

b. The ammunition section in the support platoonor the unit supply normally handle issues and turn-ins. Personnel signing for receipt

of ammunition on the DA Form 581 must be on a current DA

Form 1687 (Notice of Delegation of Authority-Receipt for Supplies)

at the ASP. Receipt procedures within the unit are covered in DA

Pam 710–2–1. SAAS–4 operators input issues and turn-ins directly

to TAMIS at leastonce per week before the weekend database update. Issues are subtracted and turn-ins added to the unit’s TAMIS

authorization balance.

c. Turn-ins are normally scheduled at the time of issue. Another

DA Form 581 is prepared for turn-in by the unit’s training ammunition manager and the form is again authenticated prior to submissionto the ASP. Separate forms are prepared for live ammunition

and foraccountable residue. ASP will specify items of residue for

turn in at the time of issue.

C–10. Handling and storing training ammunition

A R 3 8 5 – 6 4 , D A P a m 3 8 5 – 6 4 a n d l o c a l r e g u l a t i o n s a n d S O P s

cover procedures for handling and storing training ammunition. In

most cases the supporting ASP and range control offices can provide

specific procedures. Procedures for accounting and controlling training ammunition are found inDA Pam 710–2–1 and local regulations.

C–11. Use of training ammunition

Training ammunition is an expensive commodity, so use it only for

its intended training purpose. Units may obtain the current costs of

ammunition from the TAMIS expenditure report. Only expend minimum quantities required to meet training objectives. Units will ens u r e m a x i m u m t r a i n i n g v a l u e i s o b t a i n e d f r o m a l l a m m u n i t i o n

expenditures. Turn back all unused ammunition to the ASP. Do not

expend training ammunition to avoid turning back to the ASP or to

boost historical expenditure records.
