Chapter 2
Training Ammunition Management Process
2–1. Objective of Training Ammunition Management
a. The training ammunition management objective is to help achieve a fully trained and ready force by managing
Army weapons training programs and training ammunition resources required to execute them.
b. Training ammunition management transforms manual training ammunition business practices into an enterprisewide, network-centric environment to manage requirements, authorizations, and expenditures.
2–2. Functions of Training Ammunition Management
Training ammunition management involves management of five interrelated functions:
a. Requirements.
b. Authorizations.
c. Distribution of assets.
d. Execution management.
e. Programming and budgeting.
2–3. Requirements
a. In March 1982, the Vice Chief of Staff, U.S. Army (VCSA) established STRAC. HQ TRADOC, Army Training
Support Center (ATSC), exercises HQDA responsibility for the STRAC. The STRAC mission is to develop weapons
training strategies to achieve and sustain weapons proficiency. The STRAC weapons training strategies and TRADOC
POI requirements are the basis for all Army training ammunition requirements.
b. STRAC weapons training strategies are developed by the weapons proponent’s branch schools and are approved
by the DCS, G–3/5/7. Proposed STRAC strategies are vetted in several forums, including STRAC working groups,
STRAC Councils of Colonels, and the Training and Leader Development General Officer Steering Committee
(TLGOSC).
c. STRAC working groups are action-officer level meetings chaired by the DCS, G–3/5/7, Training Ammunition
Manager. The purpose of the working groups is to ensure proposed STRAC strategies are well coordinated and ready
for briefing to the STRAC Council of Colonels.
d. The DCS, G–3/5/7 Chief, Collective Training Division, chairs the STRAC Council of Colonels. The Council
chairman reviews all proposed training strategies and may approve or disapprove them or recommend further action
prior to DCS, G–3/5/7 review of the proposed strategy.
e. The TLGOSC is chaired by the DCS, G–3/5/7 and consists of members of the Army staff, MACOMs, and
weapons proponent branch schools. Approved strategies are published in DA Pam 350–38 and DA Pam 350–39
(obsolete in FY05) and used to update TAMIS–R.
f. Calculating and managing requirements are as follows:
(1) Requirements consist of the quantity of training ammunition, per the Department of Defense Identification Code
(DODIC), that each component or activity within the Army requires to support planned training during a fiscal year.
This includes both STRAC and non-STRAC training ammunition requirements.
(2) Total Army training ammunition requirement calculations are based on STRAC, TRADOC POI documents, and
other DCS, G–3/5/7-approved requirements.
(3) Common Table of Allowances (CTA) 50–909 (field and garrison furnishings and equipment), table 62 should
only be used to develop operational requirements.
(4) Units and organizations submit operational requirements to their MACOM in accordance with DA Pam 710–2–1
and local policy.
(5) Using the most current unit authorization documents and the TAMIS–R Department of the Army Ammunition
Requirements Tool (DAART), ATSC provides each MACOM a list of weapons densities for each unit in the
MACOM. Each MACOM will validate their weapons densities and coordinate changes with ATSC no later than 31
January each year. ATSC correlates weapons densities with the STRAC training strategy to derive each MACOM’s
annual STRAC training ammunition requirement for the following year. Beginning with FY05 requirements, MACOMs
will—
(a) Validate individual unit weapons density between 1 October and 31 January.
(b) Calculate STRAC and non-STRAC requirements using the TAMIS–R DAART module.
(c) Submit STRAC, POI, and non-STRAC requirements to DCS, G–3/5/7 using the DAART.
AR 5–13 • 1 March 2005
3
(6) ATSC will resolve STRAC requirement differences with each MACOM and submit to DCS, G–3/5/7 no later
than 28 February each year. The Training Ammunition Authorization Committee will resolve remaining discrepancies.
To be considered for review, requirement discrepancies must include the following:
(a) Current authorization, requested increase, difference (+, -), and justification for change.
(b) At a minimum the justification must include the weapon type, the event, the frequency, and impact statement, if
resources are not received.
(7) DCS, G–3/5/7 approves MACOM training ammunition requirements and publishes validated requirements in
TAMIS–R.
g. Non-STRAC training requirements may be submitted by any MACOM but require DCS, G–3/5/7 validation prior
to resourcing. Beginning in FY05 non-STRAC requirements will be submitted in DAART.
(1) Requests for non-STRAC must contain the items listed in paragraphs 2–3f(6)(a) and (b).
(2) Non-STRAC requirements expected to continue for longer than 3 years should be presented to the STRAC
Council of Colonels for consideration and potential inclusion into DA Pam 350–38.
(3) Unprogrammed MACOM requirements may be entered in DAART at any time. If an unprogrammed requirement is sourced, the required munitions generally come from other units’ programmed training stocks.
h. MACOM approved and HQDA validated STRAC and non-STRAC requirements are the basis for each
MACOM’s total annual training munitions authorization.
i. For requirements for contingency operations, see paragraph 2–8.
j. MACOMs will generate requirements in DAART for HQDA directed or approved exercises, and Combat Training
Center rotations based on the applicable chapter in STRAC.
k. Armed Forces Command (FORSCOM) will manage and approve each continental United States Army (CONUSA) (First and Fifth Armies) postmobilization training requirements for standard rotations into operational areas or
zones. FORSCOM will submit approved requirements to ATSC no later than 31 January each year. DCS, G–3/5/7 will
validate postmobilization training requirements and post them in TAMIS–R. For all other post mobilization requirements, FORSCOM will submit CONUSA requirements directly to DCS, G–3/5/7 in accordance with paragraph 2–8.
l. For unprogrammed requirements, see paragraphs 2–7c and 2–8b.
2–4. Training ammunition authorizations
a. The Training Ammunition Authorization Committee (TAAC) will meet at least annually. The DCS, G–3/5/7,
Training Ammunition Manager, chairs the TAAC. Participants include DCS, G–4 munitions managers, MACOM G–3/
5/7 training munitions managers, and munitions managers from various Army organizations. At the TAAC, DCS, G–3/
5/7 distributes initial training ammunition authorizations to each MACOM for the next fiscal year. After the TAAC,
DCS, G–3/5/7 disseminates approved training munitions authorizations in TAMIS–R.
b. MACOMs may receive authorizations equal to full STRAC requirement for non-CALS items (see paragraph
2–5). Authorizations for CALS items may be less than the stated STRAC requirement due to supply constraints. Units
receive non-STRAC authorizations based on supply availability and G–3/5/7 priorities.
c. If supply constraints result in the reduction of training ammunition availability, DCS, G–3/5/7 may reduce
MACOM authorizations in TAMIS–R and provide new training guidance.
d. HQDA provides missile authorizations based on the missile distribution plan (MIDP), this regulation, and AR
710–2 (see para 2–5b).
e. For nonstandard ammunition authorization, see paragraph 2–7d.
f. Managing authorizations are as follows:
(1) MACOMs will manage training ammunition authorizations of subordinate units in TAMIS–R by unit identification code (UIC). Each MACOM is responsible for distributing authorizations to subordinate units and commands in the
TAMIS–R hierarchy.
(2) Authorizations in TAMIS–R work top down. Only a higher-level unit within a MACOM may change subauthorizations for subordinate level units. Only HQDA may change MACOM authorizations.
(3) Subauthorizations to subordinate units will not exceed MACOM total available authorizations without prior
approval from DCS, G–3/5/7.
(4) Units requiring additional authorizations submit requests to their next higher command or supporting agency.
MACOMs may disapprove the request, fill it from existing authorizations, cross-level authorizations internally, or pass
the request to DCS, G–3/5/7 for consideration. MACOM requests for additional authorizations will be sent to DCS,
G–3/5/7, ATTN: DAMO–TRC. The following information must be included:
(a) Current authorization, requested increase, difference (+, -), and justification for change.
(b) The justification must include the weapon type, event, frequency, and impact statement if not resourced.
(5) If the request is approved, the MACOM’s authorizations will be adjusted in TAMIS–R and the change
transmitted to the MACOM electronically.
(6) MACOMs may adjust authorization in TAMIS–R between assigned units, within established policies.
(7) TAMIS–R does not contain authorizations for operational ammunition or operational project stocks.
4
AR 5–13 • 1 March 2005
(8) Basic load munitions will not be used to resolve training munitions shortages without prior approval from DCS,
G–4. Training munitions will not be moved to basic load without prior approval from DCS, G–3/5/7.
(9) If operational requirements are supported from training stocks the ammunition supply point manager, in
coordination with the MACOM ammunition manager will ensure training ammunition is issued from a training account
in Standard Army Ammunition System-Modernized (SAAS–MOD).
(10) Munitions for all training events, including mission rehearsals in support of operations, will be issued from
training accounts.
(11) MACOMs may turn back excess training ammunition authorizations any time prior to the second quarter of the
fiscal year.
(12) Carryover of unused authorizations to the next fiscal year are as follows:
(a) DCS, G–3/5/7 will normally not carryover authorizations to the next fiscal year.
(b) If it is necessary to carryover authorizations, units may submit carryover requests with justification through their
parent MACOM for endorsement to DCS, G–3/5/7.
(c) DCS, G–3/5/7 approved carryover authorizations will be posted to the new fiscal year in TAMIS–R.
(13) In accordance with AR 710–2 and DA Pam 710–2–1, MACOMs will establish internal procedures for
approving requests for issue of training munitions. These procedures must ensure MACOMs do not exceed annual
training authorizations contained in TAMIS–R.
(14) There are two types of substitutions authorized in training munitions: supply substitutes and training support
substitutes.
(a) Supply substitutes. These are prime and secondary items that will perform identical or similarly to the prime
DODIC. The Conventional Ammunition Substitutability/ Interchangeability List (S&I list) identifies valid conventional
munitions substitutions. TAMIS–R will automatically roll the substitute expenditure against the prime DODIC, unless
there is an authorization for the substitute DODIC (also see para 2–6b(5)).
(b) Training support substitutes. These are items that are not identical and may not be similar, but they could satisfy
a training requirement and could be issued as a substitute item.
(15) TRADOC will manage training munitions authorizations for Total Army Schools System and any DA specially
sanctioned organization requiring training ammunition. Requirements must be entered in DAART and published in
TAMIS–R.
(16) U.S. Army Reserve Command (USARC) is responsible for management of authorizations to subordinate
USARC elements.
(17) The Installation Management Agency (IMA) will manage authorizations for garrison units in CONUS.
(18) OCONUS MACOMs are responsible for management of authorizations for units that are permanently stationed
within their geographical area of responsibility.
g. For authorizations for deployed, deploying and mobilizing units, including contingency operations, see paragraph
2–8.
h. Authorizations for HQDA directed or approved exercises, and CTC rotations are as follows:
(1) The supported MACOMs will manage all authorizations regardless of composition or MACOM participation.
(2) Participating units will not use home station authorizations to support CTC rotations or HQDA-directed
exercises.
2–5. Distribution of assets
a. Committee for Ammunition Logistics Support (CALS). HQDA controls the distribution of critical munitions in
short supply. Under provisions of AR 700–28, the DCS, G–4 convenes the CALS to allocate, distribute, and
redistribute conventional training munitions in short supply. The CALS meets twice yearly. Through the CALS, HQDA
provides allocations to support training munitions authorizations. The CALS is the HQDA activity responsible for the
worldwide allocation of Army munitions, including on-hand stocks as well as projected receipts from procurement and
production.
(1) National Inventory Control Point (NICP) item managers may reject requests for training munitions that exceed
the MACOM allocations approved by the CALS.
(2) CALS objectives are to—
(a) Provide an Army-level decisionmaking body that intensively manages munitions in actual or potential short
supply during peacetime and wartime. The wartime status includes periods of mobilization, engagement with hostile
military forces, and transition to war.
(b) Provide an official forum for exchanging information and programs concerning munitions and logistic support
between two or more MACOMs, theaters, and HQDA.
(c) Provide for coordination with other military services and the Executive Director for Conventional Ammunition
to resolve issues involving multi-Service claims to existing assets.
b. Missile Distribution Plan (MIDP). The MIDP is the HQDA-approved distribution plan for missile ammunition
and materiel, to include training practice, service practice, and war reserve stocks authorized for training consumption.
AR 5–13 • 1 March 2005
5
(1) The MIDP worldwide review is conducted at least annually.
(2) Installations will requisition missiles for home station, tenant, and visiting units.
(3) Installations will submit missile requisitions to AMCOM, with exception data that identifies the specific
MACOM of the tenant or visiting unit.
c. Training ammunition forecasts. Forecasts are fiscal year projections of the quantity of authorized training
munitions per DODIC that a unit intends to expend during the next 12-month period. Forecasts are the key element in
HQDA munitions distribution plans. TAMIS–R is the only HQDA-approved forecasting tool. MACOMs, other specially designated units, and DRUs will use TAMIS–R to forecast training munitions.
(1) Proper forecasting is a unit responsibility, regardless of whether the training is conducted at home station or
elsewhere.
(2) CONUS-based units must maintain a 12-month moving forecast in TAMIS–R. The forecast will be based on
planned training and training munitions authorizations available to support training. OCONUS units may vary from this
schedule but must forecast for a minimum of 6 months in advance.
(3) Each unit’s forecasted quantities must not exceed their total authorization for each DODIC. TAMIS–R will not
accept a forecast quantity that would cause the total forecasted quantity to exceed the available authorization in a given
fiscal year. DCS, G–3/5/7 will direct a regular forecast reconciliation in TAMIS–R that will reduce any forecasts that
exceeds approved fiscal year authorizations.
(4) For the upcoming fiscal year, forecasts may be made for any amount but are considered “unapproved” until
TAAC authorizations for that fiscal year are established (see para 2–4a). Forecasts crossing the fiscal year will not be
auto-reconciled until after the TAAC distributes authorizations for that fiscal year.
(5) The lockout period for CONUS is the 2-month period following the last day of the current month. For example,
if the current date were any day in the month of July, the lockout period would extend through all of August and
September. The last day of July would be the final date units could increase a forecast for October. CONUS units must
input 12-month forecasts into TAMIS–R no later than the last day of each month in order to avoid an additional locked
out month. During the lockout period increases in forecasted quantities cannot be made without coordination with DCS,
G–3/5/7.
(6) While units cannot increase forecasted quantities in TAMIS–R during the lockout period, the forecast may be
reduced or cross-leveled under certain conditions.
(a) TAMIS–R authorization and forecast tools allow units to perform cross-level authorizations and move the
forecast for the same quantities, in the same month, at the same ammunition supply point (ASP) from one unit to
another. See the TAMIS–R user manual for more information.
(b) The lockout period for OCONUS MACOMs will vary depending on a variety of logistical and operational
factors.
(c) Each unit must be associated with an ASP in order to forecast in TAMIS–R.
(7) Exceptions to the lockout period require DCS, G–3/5/7 approval.
(8) Requests for issue and turn-in of ammunition are as follows:
(a) Units will complete the automated training ammunition request (TAR) form in TAMIS–R and transmit it
electronically through MACOM channels to the ASP from which support is requested. Only when TAMIS–R is
unavailable may units request training munitions with a paper DA Form 581 (Request for Issue and Turn-in of
Ammunition).
1. To request ammunition in TAMIS–R users must have a TAMIS–R user ID and password and a Common Access
Card (CAC). TAMIS–R users without a CAC should contact their ammunition manager to obtain a digital signature
application. The digital certificate on your CAC will be used to electronically sign the ammunition request. See how to
configure your electronic signature at the TAMIS–R Web site.
2. Contact your director of information management (DOIM) or network administrator to ensure your computer is
configured to use electronic signatures prior to attempting an automated TAR.
(b) Ammunition managers will follow electronic TAR setup procedures identified in the TAMIS–R manual.
(c) Ammunition managers will ensure appropriate signature cards and delegation of authority are on file at the
supporting ASP before submitting an ammunition request.
(d) The TAR must contain applicable codes identified in appendix B.
(e) The electronic ammunition request in TAMIS–R may be used to request operational ammunition.
(f) The ASP may use the TAMIS–R ammunition request to print the final DA Form 581 or import it directly into
SAAS–MOD.
(g) The paper DA Form 581 will be used to turn in all ammunition.
(h) Commanders at all levels will ensure training ammunition requested is within TAMIS–R authorizations and
corresponds to the unit’s forecast in TAMIS–R.
(i) ASPs must not issue training ammunition that exceeds a unit’s remaining authorization or forecasted quantity
without approval from the unit’s higher-level munitions manager.

(j) For training ammunition issues and turn-in crossing fiscal years, see paragraph 2–6b(3).
2–6. Execution management
a. TAMIS–R.
(1) TAMIS–R is the official HQDA system for managing training ammunition requirements, authorizations, forecasts, and expenditures. It is an unclassified, real-time, Web-based enterprise system that permits authorized users to
manage and electronically request training ammunition. MACOMs, specially designated units, and DRU ammunition
officers assign and manage TAMIS–R users within their organization and MACOM.
(2) TAMIS–R is a hierarchically designed Internet accessible system available anywhere in the world. It shares data
with the SAAS–MOD, and it provides standard reports for analysis at HQDA, MACOMs, State Adjutant Generals
(AGs), NICPs, installations, and units.
(3) Within the TAMIS–R system is the Department of the Army ammunition requirements tool (DAART) and the
Army basic load computation system (ABLCS) modules.
(a) DAART assists in deriving Army training ammunition requirements. DAART shares the TAMIS–R hierarchy
design and exports MACOM level approved requirements to TAMIS–R for DCS, G–3/5/7 to consider. DAART
computes STRAC requirements based on DA Pam 350–38 and assists in developing non-STRAC training ammunition
requirements.
(b) ABLCS is designed to compute unit basic loads based on standardized formulas for the Active Army, the Army
National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve units. ABLCS shares the TAMIS–R hierarchy and exports MACOM level
approved basic load computations to TAMIS–R and DCS, G–3/5/7 for consideration.
(4) System user manuals are available on the TAMIS–R Web site. TAMIS–R is accessible through the Army
Knowledge Online (AKO) Web site.
b. Expenditures.
(1) Training expenditures are the quantities of training ammunition per DODIC that each unit has actually fired or
expended during training. Units will expend only the training munitions necessary to achieve approved training
objectives. TAMIS–R records turn-ins as a negative number and subtracts the turn-in quantity from the issue quantity
to calculate total unit expenditures.
(2) Expenditures associated with the event codes identified in appendix B are captured in TAMIS–R.
(3) Training ammunition issues and turn-ins crossing fiscal years.
(a) TAMIS–R routinely records issues and turn-ins against the fiscal year that the authorizations are granted. The
only exception is when the turn-in crosses 2 fiscal years.
1. Training ammunition turn-ins more than 31 days after the end of the fiscal year in which the authorization was
issued, for example, for munitions drawn before 1 October, will not be accepted/recorded in TAMIS–R. All prior year
TAMIS–R activity must be completed no later than 31 October of the current fiscal year.
2. Training ammunition issued after 30 September will be charged to the fiscal year in which it is drawn.
3. For carryover of unused training ammunition authorizations from one fiscal year to the next fiscal year, see
paragraph 2–4f(12).
(b) Training events that cross two fiscal years may require separate issue/turn-in documents to reflect ammunition
issued/turned in each fiscal year.
(4) Units will not expend training munitions in order to avoid turning them back to the ASP or to boost historical
expenditure records.
(5) Expenditures of substitutes—
(a) ASPs will only issue items from the approved training ammunition S&I list or a MACOM-approved training
support substitute.
(b) ASPs will only issue training ammunition based on a validated TAR or DA Form 581 reflecting the actual
DODIC being requested.
1. When a prime DODIC is requested and a substitute DODIC from the approved S&I list is issued and expended,
the expenditure posts against the prime DODIC in TAMIS–R as long as the unit does not have an authorization greater
than zero for the substitute DODIC. When a substitute is issued and expended, cumulative expenditures of both the
prime and substitute DODIC must not exceed the authorization of the prime DODIC. If a unit has an authorization for
the substitute item, the expenditure posts against the substitute DODIC in TAMIS–R.
2. When a training support substitute is authorized instead of the prime DODIC, the expenditure posts against the
actual DODIC expended in TAMIS–R rather than the prime DODIC. When a training support substitute is not
identified in TAMIS–R, the DCS, G–3/5/7 must approve use of the training support substitute. When time constraints
prevent a MACOM from obtaining DCS, G–3/5/7 approval, the MACOM ammunition managers will coordinate
changes to authorizations with DCS, G–3/5/7 as soon as possible.
(6) The ASP SAAS–MOD will automatically transfer expenditures and issues to TAMIS–R electronically. If the
electronic interface between TAMIS–R and SAAS–MOD is not functioning the SAAS–MOD operator will manually
transfer data to TAMIS–R each day that a DA Form 581 is processed in SAAS–MOD.
AR 5–13 • 1 March 2005

(7) The HQDA annual closeout date for TAMIS–R input of authorization and expenditure data is 31 October for the
previous fiscal year.
2–7. Programming and budgeting
a. Training ammunition in support of approved weapons training strategies must be programmed annually during the
program objective memorandum (POM) budget process for the Army to receive funding for its requirements. Unprogrammed requirements are not funded. If an unprogrammed requirement is resourced, the required munitions
generally come from other units’ programmed training stocks.
b. Once a new requirement is identified and approved, a minimum of 5 years may be needed in order to build the
requirement into the POM, get congressional approval for funding, obligate approved funds, and receive the purchased
munitions into the stockpile.
c. MACOMs and training strategy proponents are responsible for submitting their validated, unprogrammed requirements to ATSC at least annually in accordance with ATSC guidance. Beginning in FY 05 unprogrammed requirements
may be submitted in DAART. Not later than July, ATSC reviews and prepares a consolidated list of requirements by
DODIC for submission to DCS, G–3/5/7. DCS, G–3/5/7 validates and prepares the POM submission.
d. Local purchase of munitions are as follows:
(1) HQDA directives prohibit MACOMs, installations, and DRUs from purchasing standard or nonstandard munitions. Munitions may be purchased only with procurement ammunition Army funds or missile procurement Army
funds, which are controlled at HQDA.
(a) Nonstandard munitions are those munitions and explosives that—
1. Are not managed by the Joint Munitions Command or at Army Missile Command, or National Inventory Control
Points.
2. Have not completed safety type classification and do not have a national stock number (NSN) or DODIC.
3. Are not available for procurement through the Defense Supply System.
(b) Munitions and explosives include but are not limited to: all items of ammunition; guided missiles; warheads;
liquid and solid propellants; high and low explosives; chemical agents; pyrotechnics; cartridge and propellant-actuated
devices; and associated components and substances that present real or potential hazards to life or property. These
restrictions are designed to protect Army personnel from injury or death, to ensure inventory control and accountability,
and to comply with the intent of existing laws and regulations.
(2) MACOMS will submit nonstandard training ammunition and explosives requests for funding through DCS, G–3/
5/7 to DCS, G–4 no later than 31 January each year. The DCS, G–4 will forward approved requests to the program
manager, ammunition.
(a) The MACOM request will include the following information:
1. Nomenclature (type, caliber, and so forth).
2. Quantity.
3. Manufacturer.
4. Source and vendor information.
5. Justification as to why the mission requirement cannot be satisfied with standard Army ammunition and that
nonstandard ammunition or explosives is required.
6. Statement that the MACOM DCS, G–3/5/7 has validated the requirement for the requested stocks.
7. MACOM, unit, installation, agency point of contact, and phone numbers.
(b) MACOMs will ensure proper accountability of standard and nonstandard training munitions and lethal and
nonlethal training munitions whether contained in sets or issued as individual items in accordance with AR 710–2.
(c) See AR 385–64 for procedures to obtain approval for use of nonstandard munitions in training.
(3) The only authorized exceptions to this procurement policy are when—
(a) U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) procures ammunition and explosives under USSOCOM
authority.
(b) The Army Marksmanship Unit (AMU) and TRADOC procure, on a reimbursable basis, ammunition and
explosives under agreement with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to operate the Hazardous Devices Division
(HDD).
(c) Army Training and Evaluation Command (ATEC) procures ammunition to support research, development, and
testing requirements for which standard items are unavailable or unsatisfactory.
(d) There are special situations where the CG or AMC authorizes the purchase of nonstandard ammunition or
explosives to meet an immediate requirement where no materiel solution exists. Special situations must meet the
provisions of AR 385–64.
2–8. Deployed, deploying, and mobilizing units
a. Supported and supporting unit responsibilities.
(1) Active component (AC) parent MACOMs are responsible for coordinating all training ammunition support for
8
AR 5–13 • 1 March 2005
AC deploying units during their predeployment train-up. Once the unit is deployed, the supported MACOM or
organization is responsible for coordinating all training ammunition required for supporting unit sustainment training.
(2) The AC force provider is responsible for coordinating all Reserve Component (RC) units’ post-mobilization
training ammunition support for units whose deployment location will be OCONUS, or in support of OCONUS
missions, for example, “back filling” AC units deploying to OCONUS missions. Once the RC unit is deployed the
supported MACOM or organization is responsible for coordinating all training ammunition required for supporting unit
sustainment training.
(3) RC MACOMs are responsible for coordinating postmobilization training munitions support for RC units whose
deployment location will be in the CONUS, for example, for homeland defense missions. Once the unit is at its
deployment site, the supported MACOM or organization is responsible for coordinating all training munitions required
for sustainment training of the unit. Recognizing that limits exist with the support Title 32 United States Code (32
USC) units may provide to units in 10 USC status, these provisions apply only to DA-procured munitions requirements, not to funding or other types of requirements.
(4) Standardized relationships simplify and enhance support. However, DA recognizes that contingency operations
may pose challenges with respect to support relationships. Coordinate exceptions to the above support responsibilities
through DCS, G–3/5/7 Department of the Army Military Operations-Collective Training Division (DAMO–TRC).
b. Requirements.
(1) DA Pam 350–38 is the basis of training munitions requirements for all Army units, deployed and nondeployed.
Deployed and mobilized units will develop training ammunition requirements in accordance with the applicable
concept of operation (CONOPs) support tables in DA Pam 350–38. Calculations should be prepared using DAART
(see para 2–6a(3)). Coordinate exceptions with DCS, G–3/5/7 (DAMO–TRC).
(2) The CONOPs tables in DA Pam 350–38 authorize resources for sustainment training of deployed units based
upon weapons densities rather than specific events. Use of this methodology simplifies the requirements determination
process and accounts for any additional weapons that may be fielded to deployed or mobilized units. This method also
provides more robust resourcing; taking into account that deployed units may need to conduct mission-tailored training
not supported by event-based, home station weapons training strategies.
(3) Deploying units generally have priority of support. MACOMs will support predeployment and postmobilization
training with internal assets to the maximum extent possible and request additional resources from DCS, G–3/5/7 only
when required resources are not available internally.
(4) MACOMs will coordinate requirements for deployed, deploying, and mobilizing units as far in advance as
possible. If sufficient advance notice of a contingency mission is provided, MACOMs will submit requirements at the
TAAC (see para 2–4a). If a unit will be deployed for part of a training year, the parent MACOM will only submit
requirements for munitions needed to support training during the portion of the year the unit will be at the home
station. The supported MACOM is responsible for determining requirements for the supporting unit’s sustainment
training during its deployment or mobilization.
(5) Upon redeployment to the home station, units issued weapons in support of their contingency mission must have
those weapons added to their unit’s official equipment authorization document in order to continue receiving training
ammunition.
c. Training munitions authorizations.
(1) All MACOMs will establish and maintain a CONOPs account under their hierarchy in TAMIS–R for the
purpose of receiving and managing training munitions authorization increases required to support deployed, deploying,
or mobilizing units’ training. The DCS, G–3/5/7 will distribute training munitions authorizations via TAMIS–R.
(2) MACOMs will post subauthorizations to a UIC/DUIC for each unit supported unless approval to use an alternate
method (for example, post subauthorizations in a single garrison DUIC) is coordinated with DCS, G–3/5/7
(DAMO–TRC). Only by subauthorizing to the unit level can priorities be maintained and first-come-first-serve
resourcing be avoided. Alternate subauthorization methods will only be approved if the pace and volume of mobilizations or deployments is so great that it is not possible to maintain accountability, safety, and security of munitions and
still record transactions against individual unit accounts.
(3) The MACOM responsible for the ammunition support of a deployed, deploying, or mobilized unit will coordinate for authorizations at the DA TAACs when notification of a mission is received in advance.
(a) Parent MACOMs will request only those authorizations required to support training that will be conducted at the
home station prior to deployment or mobilization.
(b) If a MACOM receives notification that a unit will deploy after the MACOM has already received its annual
training authorizations, the MACOM will pass back to DCS, G–3/5/7 (DAMO–TRC) authorizations that the deploying
unit would have received for home station training if it were not deploying/mobilizing or had not deployed/mobilized.
(c) Authorizations passed back to DCS, G–3/5/7 are used to help support the sustainment training of deployed and
mobilized units.
(4) Deploying and mobilized units that require additional munitions authorizations for training may request plus-ups
through established channels. MACOMs will validate requests before forwarding them to DCS, G–3/5/7 for resourcing.
AR 5–13 • 1 March 2005
9
If DCS, G–3/5/7 approves the request, it will place authorizations in the MACOM’s CONOPs account for subauthorization to the requesting unit.
(5) Installation support personnel will validate all training munitions requests prior to issue in order to ensure the
unit has an authorization for the requested items in TAMIS–R. Installation personnel will not issue ammunition to any
unit unless the unit has an authorization in TAMIS–R.
d. Distribution of assets.
(1) Forecasting is as follows:
(a) Unit forecasts are the basis for determining how much ammunition should be shipped in support of unit training
each month, as well as for determining when and where ammunition should be shipped.
(b) Operational conditions permitting, deployed, deploying, and mobilized units will forecast their requirements in
TAMIS–R, using their established UIC/DUIC in their CONOPs account.
(2) DA forecasting “lockout” windows can be adjusted to meet the operational requirements of deployed and
mobilized units. The MACOM or organization responsible for providing support to deployed or mobilized units may
coordinate required changes with DCS, G–3/5/7 (DAMO–TRC).
e. Issue and turn in of ammunition.
(1) Operational conditions permitting units may complete the electronic Training Ammunition Request form in
TAMIS–R and route it to the ASP from which support is requested.
(2) Deployed and mobilized units may use the manual DA Form 581 to request ammunition when operational
conditions preclude use of the TAR.
(3) The approving authority for requests for issue/turn-in of training munitions will validate requests against
approved training authorizations, valid forecasts, and range restrictions and process all requests through TAMIS–R.
(a) Ammunition managers must ensure the deployed unit UIC is established in TAMIS–R under the supported
MACOM and individuals requesting training ammunition have a valid electronic signature.
(b) Ammunition managers must ensure signature cards and delegation of authority are on file at the supporting ASP
before submitting an electronic TAR.
(c) The training ammunition request in TAMIS–R must contain the required event code when units request issue of
training ammunition (see app B).
(d) The approving authority for DA Form 581 will only approve issue of Class V ammunition for training for
MACOM-approved UIC/DUICs. At no time will munitions for training be issued for any other UIC/DUIC, including
the deployed or mobilized unit’s home station account.
(e) Ammunition storage area personnel are authorized to issue only training ammunition, types, and quantities that
are approved in TAMIS–R and that have a valid TAMIS–R control number.
(f) Ammunition storage area personnel will issue down to the next whole pack of ammunition to fill odd quantity
requests and will not issue more than the authorized type or quantity shown in TAMIS–R without approval from the
MACOM munitions manager.
(g) The approval authorities for each request will perform document reconciliation within TAMIS–R using the final
live turn-in documentation provided by the unit after the turn-in is completed at the ammunition storage area.
(h) DA Forms 581 will be used to turn in training ammunition. Each ammunition storage area accountable officer
will conduct “TAMIS–R transactions” and process the “INFI” file created during this procedure in TAMIS–R daily.
(i) If the electronic interface between TAMIS–R and SAAS–MOD is disabled, the transfer of the “INFI” files will
be conducted manually each day by the MACOM training munitions manager or designated person. Munitions
managers may direct a central upload of “INFI” files into TAMIS–R to facilitate tracking and reporting of all storage
points.
(j) Ammunition managers must ensure expenditure data resulting from a manually prepared DA Form 581 is entered
into TAMIS–R within 24 hours of issue.
(k) Unit commanders will ensure that all munitions training documents and requests for training munitions are
closed prior to redeployment to the unit’s home station.
(l) Training ammunition will be issued to U.S. forces only. The foreign military sales program manager must
approve requests for issue of U.S. training munitions to all other nations. Address questions to: U.S. Army Security
Assistance Command, Fort Belvoir, VA.
(4) Munitions for all training events, including mission rehearsals in support of operations, will be issued from
training ammunition accounts. Requests to transfer ammunition from training to basic load and vice versa require DCS,
G–3/5/7 and DCS, G–4 approval.
(5) If operational requirements are supported from training stocks the ammunition supply point manager, in
coordination with the MACOM ammunition manager will ensure training ammunition is issued from a training account
in SAAS–MOD.
(6) Deployed units may use the electronic TAR to request operational ammunition by selecting the appropriate code
in TAMIS–R.

AR 5–13 • 1 March 2005
2–9. Timelines and annual actions
a. Training ammunition management actions and reports will generally follow a recurring annual timeline. The
timeline supports a logical flow and is aligned with the HQDA programming and budgeting process. Actions and
timelines are as follows:
(1) October through January: divisions, states, installations and MACOMs validate their weapons densities and
annual requirements using DAART and submit them to ATSC for review.
(a) MACOMs calculate individual STRAC and non-STRAC requirements using the DAART.
(b) MACOMs submit STRAC, POI, and non-STRAC requirements through ATSC to DCS, G–3/5/7 using the
DAART.
(2) February: ATSC resolves requirement differences with MACOMs and submits initial annual/POM training
ammunition requirements to DCS, G–3/5/7.
(3) February/March: HQDA distributes preliminary authorizations to each MACOM.
(4) No later than April 1: MACOMs submit unresolved issues to DCS, G–3/5/7 for resolution.
(5) May: MACOMs attend TAAC to resolve open issues and review requirements.
(6) June: HQDA finalizes fiscal year authorizations and distributes authorizations to MACOMs via TAMIS–R.
(7) July: MACOMs subauthorize to subordinates using TAMIS–R. Units must post their adjusted 12-month moving
forecast for the next fiscal year based upon actual TAMIS–R authorizations. At a minimum, the October forecast must
be posted in TAMIS–R no later than July 31.
(8) August: TAMIS–R forecast reconciliation reduces forecasts that exceed the fiscal year authorizations. The
TAMIS–R forecast reconciliation will normally activate in mid-August to reduce forecasts that exceed fiscal year
authorizations.
(9) October 1: Units begin using new fiscal year authorizations in TAMIS–R.
(10) October: ATSC updates DAART weapons densities for each MACOM/STRAC calculation for the next fiscal
year. NGB and USARC, through their supporting CONUSA, determine post mobilization training requirements in
accordance with DA Pam 350–38.
(11) RC commands provide quarterly changes to their postmobilization requirements to HQDA through their
supporting CONUSA.
b. MACOM or installation ammunition management officers may supplement this schedule to the extent they do not
alter HQDA actions.

An electronic representation of a person’s signature. The electronic signature is most often contained in a computer file
or on a Common Access Card (CAC). TAMIS–R uses electronic signature software to digitally sign the DA Form 581
used in the TAMIS–R Training Ammunition Request. By combining the electronic signature with an electronic DA
Form 581, a request for training ammunition may be routed to the ASP using only computers. Like a written signature,
the purpose of an electronic signature is to guarantee that the individual sending the message or form is really who they
claim to be.
Mission event code
ODCS G–3/5/7 or MACOM-directed unique code in TAMIS–R that describes a specific mission, event, or CONOPS.
The code will be included in the remarks section of each handwritten DA Form 581 when required to describe a
purpose or mission.
Mobilization
The act of preparing for war or other emergencies through assembling and organizing national resources. It is the
process by which the Armed Forces, or part of them, are brought to a state of readiness for war or other national
emergency. This includes assembling and organizing personnel, supplies, and materiel for active military service,
federalization of Reserve components, extension of terms of service, and other actions necessary to convert to a
wartime posture.
NonStandard ammunition
Nonstandard munitions are those munitions and explosives that have not completed safety type classification, do not
have a National Stock Number (NSN) or DODIC, and are not available for procurement through the Defense supply
system.
Operational load
Ammunition, which encompasses ammunition issued for operational purposes. This includes, but may not be limited to,
ammunition used in ceremonial events, burial details, and avalanche control; and signals used for traffic control,
installation security, and force protection. There are two categories of operational load ammunition: (1) Ammunition to
be maintained on hand, which includes ammunition carried in holsters used by mlitary police and other installation
security personnel, traffic control, force protection details, human remains recovery missions, and special reaction
teams. This type of ammunition is normally maintained on a unit’s property book and rotated at the end of each fiscal
year. (2) Ammunition intended for expenditure that includes ammunition used for burial details, salute guns, weapons
testing, and related use.
Operational projects
These stocks are authorized materiel above unit authorizations and are designed to support one or more Army
operations, plans, or contingencies.
Major Army command
A command directly subordinate to HQDA. The NGB and other units in the TAMIS- hierarchy are referred to as a
MACOM in this regulation for the purpose of managing training ammunition. This does not imply that a command
relationship exists between the National Guard Bureau and ARNG units of the individual States. Nor does it indicate
command relationships between units in each TAMIS–R hierarchy.
Supply substitute
These are primary and secondary items that will perform identical or similarly to the prime DODIC. The conventional
ammunition substitutability/interchangeability list (S&I list) identifies valid conventional munitions substitutions.

Training ammunition
All supply class V items consumed during training including conventional ammunitions, missiles, and training unique
ammunition. They do not include ammunition used for purposes other than training, such as—
a. Firepower demonstrations.
b. Research, development, testing, and evaluation (developmental and user testing).
c. Wildlife protection.
d. Guard duty.
e. Law enforcement.
f. Rock quarry operations.
g. Road repairs and construction.
h. Saluting and disposal activities.
i. Weapons qualification of civilians employed by the Army.
j. Other activities (even though some incidental training benefit may be gained).
k. ARNG State security missions.
Training unique ammunition
Ammunition for which there is no battlefield or operational purpose, and is designed specifically for marksmanship/
gunnery, or tactical training. Items are marked or designated with the required ammunition color (light blue) coding.
Item may be short, limited, or reduced range ammunition with a no hazard, low hazard, or smoke signature projectile.
The term is not limited to those items fired from weapons systems or subcaliber devices. It includes items thrown
(grenades) or placed (mines, smoke pots).
Training ammunition authorization
The amount of ammunition an organization is approved to expend in a fiscal year.
Training ammunition allocation
The amount of ammunition (by DODIC) being shipped to an installation ASP in a given month.
Training support substitute
These are items that are not identical and may not be similar, but they could satisfy a training requirement and could be
issued as a substitute item.
Unit identification code (UIC)
A six-character code assigned to a specific unit that can be used to identify that unit.
