3 SECTION I INTRODUCTION 1. Purpose and Scope: This SOP establishes ammunition supply procedures for Camp Ripley. It identifies ASP support and customer responsibilities. It adheres to Department of Defense (DOD), Department of the Army (DA), and Forces Command (FORSCOM) security, accountability, safety and logistics regulations. 2. General: Munitions are one of the most expensive commodities used by the Armed Forces. Because of the huge volume required for training, special procedures were implemented by the Department of the Army to insure that all organizations receive only authorized training ammunition. Army Regulation 5-13 and the Total Ammunition Management information System (TAMIS) established guide lines to insure that organizations received authorized requirements and to stop the misuse, abuse, and stock piling of training ammunition. It is imperative that all individuals involved with training ammunition be fully aware of these directives and their impact if not adhered to. This installation WILL NOT issue ammunition to any unit without the requirements in this SOP being met. All correspondence will be sent to the address below: Camp Ripley Logistics Officer Attn: NGMN-CRL HWY 115 Little Falls, MN Responsibilities: The Logistics Officer has the overall responsibility for the operation of the Installation Ammunition Supply Point and related activities. It is the responsibility of the Ammunition Supply Point to insure that all units comply with the requirements set forth in this SOP. All personnel involved in ammunition activities will comply with DOD/DA/FORSCOM and applicable SOP s governing ammunition operation. It is the user s responsibility to be aware of and in compliance. a. AMMUNITION SUPPLY POINT (ASP) responsibilities: (1) Prepare, revise, & publish external Class V SOP IAW current regulations, directives & policies. (2) Furnish ammunition based on quantities authorized. (3) Manage all training ammunition using Standard Army Ammunition System (SAAS). (4) Strictly observe ammunition requisition procedures. (5) Maintain stock levels for mission requirements. (6) Consolidate monthly training ammunition forecasts from the appropriate commands. (7) Process all requests for issue/turn in. (8) Receive, store, issue and retrograde ammunition. (9) Observe & enforce explosive safety, security and accountability requirements during all operations. (10) Shipment of ammunition and residue as directed. b. Major Subordinate Commands (MSC) or Organizations having final approving authority of DA Form 581 (1) Review & approve all requests of ammunition (DA 581) submitted by subordinate units. (2) Manage & maintain records of subordinate units authorizations & expenditures. (3) Ensure that DA Form 581s are IAW DA Pam and TAMIS. 1

4 c. Unit responsibilities: (4) Review subordinate units forecasts through TAMIS and verify approved forecast. (5) Major Subordinate Commands (MSC) or organizations having final approving authority of DA Form 581 will forward DA Form 1687 & assumption of command. (6) Approve issues for home station/other posts. (1) Analyze scheduled training and unit strength to eliminate unnecessary/unauthorized expenditures and ensure that class V requests are limited to required items and authorized and realistic quantities. (2) Monthly submission of accurate ammunition forecasts to Major Subordinate Command (MSC) for approval. (3) Reconcile DA Form 581s in TAMIS. (4) Maintain safe practices and appropriate security when handling, transporting, storing, and using ammunition. (5) Maintain appropriate regulations and SOPs for the ammunition used and operations being performed. (6) Maintain accountability for all ammunition and residue components under unit control. (7) Ensure that personnel managing, handling and transporting ammunition have been screened, trained, and certified IAW DA PAM , AR , AR , 49 CFR & DOD R (8) Ensure that DA1687 & DA581 s with original signatures are forwarded to the ASP. Assumption of Command orders must accompany DA Digital wet signatures are now required on Class V DA Form 1687s. 4. Concept of Operation: The Post ASP will store and issue all authorized Class V (ammunition) items required to satisfy the needs of units training at Camp Ripley. Some items may not be available, but every effort will be made to issue, a suitable and authorized substitute item. All issues will be made from the ASP. Separate DA Form 581s will be submitted for each scheduled ammunition draw. 5. Safety and Security: The paramount consideration in operating an ASP is the safety and security of personnel, equipment and stocks. When conflicts occur between safety, security and training realism; safety and security will be given priority, Class V items are deliberately designed to be dangerous and destructive. All personnel associated with the Post ASP must be constantly aware of the potential dangerous and destructive qualities of these items. Maintaining safety and security of each respective storage point must receive special command emphasis from all personnel involved in carrying out their assigned mission. a. General Safety Requirements: (1) All personnel engaged in ASP or munitions Operations will be thoroughly trained in explosive safety, DA PAM , FORSCOM Reg and be capable of recognizing explosive hazards. (2) Improper, rough, and/or careless handling of explosive materials will not be allowed. (3) Munitions will be handled under the direct supervision of competent personnel who thoroughly understand the hazards and risks involved. 2

5 (4) The minimum number of personnel will be exposed for the minimum time to the smallest quantity of explosives, consistent with safety, efficiency and unit mission. Unnecessary personnel will be barred from hazardous areas. b. General Security Requirements: (1) Munitions Storage Areas will be established IAW the Camp Ripley Regulation, AR , DOD Manual M, DA PAM (2) All personnel involved with munitions are responsible for security to prevent unlawful entry, theft or intentional destruction. 6. References and Forms: ASP Forms and References a. Forms using units will need to have prepared (if applicable): DA Form 581 Request for Issue and Turn-In of Ammunition DA Form 2203-R Demolition Reconnaissance Report DA Form 5514-R TAMIS Training Ammunition Forecast Report DA Form 5515 Training Ammunition Control Document DA Form 5692-R Ammunition Consumption Certificate DA Form 5811-R Certificate - Lost or Damaged Class 5 Ammunition Items DD Form 626 Motor Vehicle Inspection (Transporting Hazardous Materials) DD Form 2890 DoD Multimodal Dangerous Goods Declaration b.

6 SECTION II (DETAILED AMMUNITION PROCEDURES FOR UNITS) 1. Section II of this SOP will provide training units with critical information concerning Class V. It will take the using unit step by step to assist with Class V supply procedures. This SOP should be read by the Unit Commander, Unit Trainer, and Unit Class V Coordinator. The Unit Class V Coordinator should maintain this SOP for the unit. It should be treated as a living document for changes will occur as dictated by Army Regulations. The Camp Ripley ASP staff is here to assist and support using units so all training requirements for ammunition can be accomplished. All references and Forms used in this SOP are located on the Intranet at This SOP can also be downloaded (in color) via the internet from the Minnesota National Guard website The ASP s hours of operation are from Weekend hours are normally but are subject to change based on demand. Arrangements for pickup and turn-ins other than listed above must be made 24 hours in advance. 3. All units should coordinate pick-up items at least two days in advance; this allows a final check of pick-up requirements to correct any potential problems. 4. If you are training, at any location other than Camp Ripley and require ammunition to be transported to that location YOU MUST start coordination at least 30 DAYS in advance of training date. a. Training ammunition will not be shipped directly to any units. Units requiring these items make arrangements to physically pick up the ammunition at the ASP. b. Units are reminded of the requirement to comply with both physical security IAW AR and explosive safety IAW DA PAM when storing ammunition in Arms Rooms. A DD Form 2890 must be prepared for all ammunition transported on a public roadway (off post). 5. Any questions or requests for information please call: Ammo Storage - DSN /3168/3169 COM (320) /3168/3169 QASAS - DSN COM (320) Ammo Fax - DSN COM (320) Address: derek.j.lindberg.mil@mail.mil daniel.j.miner4.mil@mail.mil richard.s.alford3.civ@mail.mil 6. The following steps are listed in sequence to assist using units in accomplishing their ammunition related mission smoothly and in a timely manner: a. Forecasting It is the unit s responsibility to get an approved forecast through their higher headquarters. Forecasts MUST be submitted 90 days prior to the required training date. NO FORECAST, NO AMMO. Forecasting will be accomplished in accordance with AR 5-13, training ammunition management. Chapter 2 of AR 5-13 lists the objectives, functions and requirements for the proper submittal of forecast by using TAMIS. The ASP orders all forecasted ammunition, so please forecast as accurately as possible to prevent the cost of shipping ammunition that will not be used. 4

7 b. DA FORM 1687 Notice of Delegation of Authority-Receipt for Supplies, DA Form 1687, must be updated as changes occur. THE AUTHORITY TO block should read Requisition or Receipt of Class V Supplies. The authorized representatives listed must have passed a security screening as required by AR , Ref: DA PAM , paragraph Only the individuals listed on the unit s current DA Form 1687 may receipt for ammunition. Individuals on the DA Form 1687 must be HAZMAT certified to sign for ammunition from the Camp Ripley ASP. Only the Unit Commander or designated Property Book Officer can delegate authorization to request/receive ammunition. As of 15 NOV 2014, there are new, additional requirements for Class V signature cards. Please see the example DA FORM 1687 in SECTION VI of this SOP for the proper format. Electronic wet signatures are now required and the original electronic copy must be ed to the ASP.. c. ASSUMPTIONS OF COMMAND Assumption of Command Orders must accompany DA Form 1687, Ref: DA PAM The UIC and DODAAC on the DA Form 1687 must match the UIC and DODAAC in TAMIS used to generate the e581. d. DA FORM 581 All Army and Marine Corp units are required to use the electronic 581 (e-581) in TAMIS. A separate e- 581 must be submitted for every scheduled draw. The ASP will not store ammunition for a unit after it has been signed for on a DA FORM 581. A unit will typically have several DA FORM 581s for an AT period. Applicable Ammunition Information Notices (AINs) will be given to the unit at the time of their ammunition draw. AINs contain important safety information that must be passed on to the user. For other organizations, a For Issue DA Form 581, Request for Issue and Turn-in of Ammunition, will be prepared IAW reference DA PAM , Fig Block 13a: Enter name of authorized requestor as indicated by using units DA Form 1687, printed or typed. Block 13c: Enter signature of authorized requestor as indicated on using unit s DA Form Block 14a: Enter the name of the authorized approving authority. The DA Form 581, prepared IAW DA PAM , Para 11-9d, will be received by the ASP at least three days prior to the requested pick-up date. e. RECEIVING TRAINING AMMUNITION Units are required to schedule/verify draw times 24 hours prior to arriving at the ASP for ammunition pick-up. Vehicles being dispatched to transport ammunition should be inspected by unit maintenance personnel prior to arrival at ASP. A stringent safety inspection will be performed by ASP personnel, using DD Form 626 Ref: DA PAM , Para ASP personnel will brief the vehicle drivers and issue them a DD Form 2890 for any ammunition being transported off post. Units are required to review their load plan with ASP personnel prior to receiving ammunition. Space, weight, and compatibility restrictions must be taken into consideration when creating a load plan. Use the CAPULDI and YELLOW BOOK for assistance in developing your load plan. Both of these publications can be found under the ASIS tab of the Munitions History Program (MHP) website. Vehicles containing Category I or II ammunition require an armed guard and should be requested for pick-up on the same day as use. An ammunition vehicle holding area outside of the ASP is currently being planned down range. Hazard class/division 1.4 ammunition and limited quantities of pyrotechnics may be stored in the Cantonment Area with an approved site license from the Installation Safety Office, (320) Explosive safety standards and sufficient security measures must be taken into consideration and be in accordance with DA Pam and AR Other ammunition will not be stored within the 5

8 Cantonment Area. Storage requirements may be coordinated with the Instalation Safety Office or the Regional QASAS. f. AMMUNITION SHIPPING AND MOVEMENTS Only vehicles with satisfactory conditions will be accepted for loading. Vehicles arriving to pick up class/division 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 (other than 1.4s small arms ammunition) explosives will be inspected IAW DOD R, DA PAM , and FORSCOM Reg 700-4, chap 3. Minimum requirement for vehicle fire extinguishers for all movements of ammunition in government vehicles is two 10BC rated extinguishers for each vehicle, NSN Ammunition in all vehicles will be strapped down securely with approved tie down straps NSN , IAW FORSCOM Reg 700-4, Para 3-2d or blocked and braced IAW AMC Series Drawings All ammunition must be in a covered vehicle or covered with a tarp. g. TRANSPORTATION OF SMALL ARMS AMMUNITION As a general rule, ammunition will not be transported in a passenger compartment of a vehicle. However, limited quantities (no more than two full outer packs) of small arms ammunition may be transported in the trunk or cargo areas of van type GSA vehicles. This applies only to hazard class/division 1.4S small arms and only when it would create a hardship on the unit to obtain the proper type vehicle required. NO ammunition may be transported in privately owned vehicles (POVs). h. DUAL DRIVER PROTECTIVE SERVICE (DDPS) The following selected ammunition, in quantities shown, does not require DDPS: a. Inert/Dummy - any quantity b. Blank Small Arms Ammunition (1.4S) - any quantity c..22 Caliber Ammunition - any quantity All other ammunition items regardless of quantity require DDPS with both drivers HAZMAT trained. i. DA FORM 5515 Training Ammunition Control Document DA FORM 5515 is used as a sub hand receipt for ammunition at First Line Supervisor level (FLS), Ref: DA PAM , Fig 11-12, Using this Form will aid Range OIC s/ncoic s in determining the minimum number of ammunition containers to be opened for the completion of training s are not to be used to transfer ammunition between units. j. TURNING IN AMMUNITION AND RESIDUE (1) Scheduling Turn-ins Units are required to schedule turn-ins a minimum of 24 hours in advance. Requests for turn-in will be processed by the ASP on a first-come, first-served basis. Live and residue must be segregated or placed on separate vehicles. Units must bring enough personnel to unload and handle the quantity of ammunition and/or residue that is being turning in. Weights and quantities are recorded on locallygenerated Live and Residue Turn-in Worksheets. The unit representative turning in the ammunition/residue must know the approximate quantity/weight of ammunition being turned in and verify the ASP s counts and weights before signing the turn-in worksheet. Turn-ins must be organized with items separated by type. Disorganized turn-ins can create accountability problems and potential safety hazards. The ASP may require a unit fix their deficiencies and reschedule their turn-in if it is disorganized. The turn-in worksheets are consolidated when the unit clears with the ASP. Turn-ins are not accepted after 1500 hrs without prior approval. During a typical Annual Training period, a unit may have several turn-ins. Final turn-ins and clearing for an AT period must be scheduled before 1100 hrs. Units sharing ammunition or utilizing shared ranges are responsible for turning in their own live ammunition and residue quantities. The ASP WILL NOT separate residue weights after turn-ins are completed. It is the unit s responsibility to do this prior to arriving at the ASP for their scheduled turn-in. 6

9 (2) Clearing Separate DA FORM 581s will be prepared for live ammunition, and residue items. The ASP will provide SAAS-generated DA FORM 581s for live and residue turn-ins. The ASP reconciles the residue turn-in quantities using the weight factors listed in SECTION VI of this SOP or by an individual item count. Guidance for the turn-in of specific groups of ammunition can also be found in SECTION VI. Ask ASP personnel if you have any questions. All ammunition turned in live must be repackaged in its original configuration. Complete DA Form 5811-R (Lost or Damaged Class V Ammunition) items for any residue shortages. The first LTC (O-5) in chain of command signs the certificate. Completion documentation is required from the using unit within 6 five working days after completion of the training. When the using unit exceeds the five working days time limit without prior coordination, the ASP initiates command notification and WILL NOT issue more ammunition to that unit until the documentation is completed. k. DA FORM 5692-R All Security Category I and II ammunition/explosives and items listed with a T in the reconciliation column of Table J-12 in DA PAM require DA FORM 5692-R (Ammunition Consumption Certificate). This form is signed by the OIC of the range. l. DA FORM 5811-R Certificate - Lost or damaged class V. Required if any ammunition is unaccounted for or damaged. AMMUNITION PICK-UP CHECKLIST To draw ammunition, you must meet the following criteria and coordinate with ASP personnel NLT two days before pick-up date: 1. A properly completed DA Form (See example on page 10) 2. Assumption of Command Order for the individual authenticating above DA Form Approved forecast. 4. An Approved DA FORM 581 (e-581). Block 13 & 14 must be signed by individual as authorized on current DA A valid military ID card is required for person signing DA Form 581 (receipt for issue and turn-in of ammunition). 6. Commercial drivers, DOD civilians, contractors, and reserve technicians in technician status must have a commercial driver s license (CDL) endorsed for hazardous material and vehicle type. A medical examiner s certificate issued within the previous 24 months is also required. 7. Military personnel have to be in uniform and have in their possession a valid military driver s license for the type of vehicles they are driving. A CDL with HAZMAT endorsement cannot be used in lieu of a military driver s license. 8. All drivers and assistant drivers picking up ammunition are required to be Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) trained and have in their possession proof of ammunition-specific training (valid for two years). Unit personnel signing for and transporting ammunition 7

10 must meet the training requirements listed in SECTION V of this SOP. Registration for the required courses is done through the ATRRS website Proper vehicles. Only 1.4S small arms ammunition can be transported in vans, sedans, blazers, 4 seat HMMWVs or other passenger vehicles. Limited amounts (two, outer packs) of small arms ammunition 1.4S can be transported in the above type passenger carrying vehicles. 10. Create a load plan and have it available to review with the ASP prior to receiving ammunition. The driver of each vehicle must have a load plan for their specific vehicle. 11. Two 10-BC rated fire extinguisher per vehicle regardless of the type of ammunition. (NSN ) 12. Ample tie-down Straps for securing all ammunition. Rope or other tie-down materials are not authorized. (NSN / ) 13. Dual Driver Protective Service (DDPS) requires two licensed and HAZMAT trained personnel in any vehicle transporting ammunition. The only exception being that any quantity of 1.4S blank and.22 CAL ammunition does not require DDPS. 14. An E-5 or above and an armed guard is required to sign for Security CAT I and II ammunition items. CAT I & II items include AT-4 s demolition items, and fragmentation grenades. Be sure to request ammunition for the armed guard on the e Turn-in of all ammunition items (serviceable, unserviceable and residue) has to be done on DA Form 581. The ASP staff will assist in the preparation of the DA Form 581s. 16. All vehicles, both contract and tactical, to be loaded with ammunition will be required to pass a safety inspection as detailed on DD Form 626. Units should conduct a DD Form 626 inspection prior to arriving at the ASP to ensure that their vehicle(s) are suitable for transporting ammunition. Drivers arriving at the ASP with blocks 1 through 11 completed will expedite the vehicle inspection process. SECTION III AMMUNITION AMMESTY PROGRAM The ammunition amnesty program is necessary to ensure maximum recovery of military ammunition, explosives, and residue items. The program is established to provide an opportunity for individuals to return ammunition, which has been stolen, misplaced, or erroneously left in the possession of a unit after turn-in and reconciliation has been finalized. These returns can be made without fear of prosecution. During normal operating hours, ASP personnel will accept delivery of all items turned in under the Amnesty Program. Ammunition items must be handed directly to an ASP operator at the ASP. No paperwork required. The Amnesty Program is not a substitute for normal turn-in procedures and will not be used to avoid standard supply procedures. Units discovering ammunition on hand after having reconciled their account are authorized and encouraged to make an amended turn-in. 8 7

11 Suspect and/or unidentified Ammunition/explosives Found On Post (AFOP) after normal ASP duty hours will be handled by Range Control or Security personnel. Unit Commanders should perform quarterly briefings on the Amnesty Program procedures. A refresher should be given during pre-firing briefings. Additional information and guidance can be found in DA Pam , Para and FORSCOM Reg 700-4, Chap. 5. Amnesty that is safe to handle and transport can be turned in directly to the ASP at anytime. The ASP has an amnesty located by the South entrance to building , Range Control. Small arms,.50 cal and below can be deposited in this amnesty box. Do NOT bring amnesty items into building An annual amnesty day will be scheduled on the second Tuesday of September. The Camp Ripley Joint Visitors Bureau (JVB) will advertise the amnesty day. 9

17 SECTION V HAZMAT REQUIREMENTS Drivers, assistant drivers, and personnel signing for ammunition must have ammunition-specific HAZMAT training. The following online courses are required to be completed: AMMO-45-DL 9E-F67/920-F35 INTRODUCTION TO AMMUNITION (CERT) AMMO-51-MV-DL 4E-F42/645-F26 NAVAL MOTOR VEHICLE INSPECTION (CERT) AMMO-64-DL 4E-F45/645-F29 CLASS V ISSUE & TURN-IN PROC FOR USING UNITS AMMO-67-DL 9E-F69/920-F37 HAZMAT FAMILIARIZATION/SAFETY IN TRANS (CERT) The course numbers have recently changed in ATRRS and it can be quite confusing so please use this link: Each soldier must also receive some training at their units to include: a) Fire Extinguisher use. Recommend enlisting local fire department for fire extinguisher use training including how to fight a fire, when to fight a fire and when to evacuate. b) Load securing/use of cargo load ratchet straps. See TC /AFMAN (I), Chapters 14 and 21 c) Physical Security training for ammunition during transportation and storage. AR , Paragraphs 5-8 and When all of this training has been completed, the commander must sign a memorandum stating that the soldiers have completed the training and the memo must be presented to the ASP prior to the time of issue. An example memorandum is included on the next page. Questions regarding the training requirements can be directed to the regional QASAS at (320)

19 SECTION VI RESIDUE TURN-IN GENERAL GUIDANCE Small Arms Residue Small arms brass and links are separated by caliber and accounted for by weight. Place expended cartridge casings in the wirebound boxes that it was issued in. Brass and links must be dry and free of debris. Metal ammo cans must dry be completely empty. Every can will be opened and inspected by ASP personnel to verify that they are empty. Small Arms Blank Residue Follow the same guidance listed under Small Arms Residue except that only 50% of the brass weight is required and calibers may be mixed. Opened 5.56mm blanks will either be put back in their original cardboard boxes or on stripper clips to allow for an accurate count. 25mm Residue Expended cartridge casings and links will be separated and accounted for by weight. Depending on the quantity, casings and links may be collected in hoppers available from the ASP. Cans will be turned in with the inner packing (Black plastic spacers) still inside. 40mm - Single Round Expended cartridge casings are accounted for by counting each casing. For DODIC B519, place the white plastic casings (25 ea.) back into the cardboard boxes that they came in. This allows them to be counted quickly. Aluminum 40mm casings will also be counted and can be returned in any container. 40mm for MK-19 MK-19 ammunition is generally packaged 32 per metal can. MK-19 casings are accounted for by weight. Remove all foam packaging and put as many expended casings as possible in the metal cans. Cans will be weighed without the lids. Remaining cans will be turned in completely empty and inspected by ASP personnel. The large, flat foam pieces are recycled and should be turned back in to the ASP. The shaped pieces can be discarded. Mortars All mortars come packaged in fiber tubes. The fiber tubes are packaged in wirebound boxes, hinged wooden boxes, or metal cans. Accountability is determined by the turn-in of the fibers and boxes/cans. Turn-in wooden boxes and metals cans completely empty. Having the lids off of the fiber tubes when arriving at the ASP will expedite the turn-in. Large wire baskets are available from ASP to aid in the handling of the fibers. 105mm Howitzer 105mm howitzer rounds are packaged in fiber tubes. The fiber tubes are either packaged 2 per wooden box or one per metal canister. Accountable residue for each round is a nose plug (metal or plastic), casing, fiber, and canister/wood box. 120mm Tank Aft caps must be turned in. Keep pallets ( honeycombs ) banded. Return with lids off. 155mm Howitzer Projectiles 155mm projectiles are accounted for by the turn-in of the nose plug, grommet and pallet top/bottom. Nose plugs and grommets will be counted individually. Place nose plugs in a wirebound box. Connect grommets in rings of 5 each to expedite counting. Pallet tops and bottoms will be separated and places on pallets. ARTY Fuzes Artillery fuzes come packaged 8 ea per metal can. Turn in the cans completely empty. Demolition Items Demolition items come in a variety of different packaging configurations. Any metal cans or hinged wood boxes must be returned to the ASP. Since many demolition items are completely consumed and many are CIIC CAT 2, a consumption certificate (DA FORM 5692) signed by the OIC of the range is required. Pyrotechnics Pyrotechnic items come in a variety of different packaging configurations. All metal cans and hinged wood boxes must be returned to the ASP. Many items do not require anything to be turned in. However, expended items (such as smoke grenade bodies and flare tubes) and trash must be removed from the training area and disposed of at the ASP. 17

20 Multiply the total number of rounds by the conversion factor and round down. Example: 3200 rounds of A064 (5.56mm 4 Ball / 1 Tracer, linked) 3200 X.0135 = 43 pounds of brass 3200 X = 14 pounds of link 18

21 Sample AMMO Can Request Memorandum Ammunition residue items (including empty cans) may be requested for official use. Requests may only be submitted by the S4 or commander. *This memorandum must be sent to the Camp Ripley Logistics Officer (CW4 Festler) for approval. 19
