INTRODUCTION
As an ammunition officer in a tactical situation, you will be required to plan for and possibly conduct the ED of
all ammunition and explosive stocks in your storage facility. The size of your facility may vary from a small ASP
to a large CSA or TSA. Regardless of the size of the facility, ED procedures will remain the same and each unit
must be prepared to perform this type of operation. In this lesson, the procedures involved in the ED of
ammunition will be covered.
As you can probably tell, the ED of all stocks in a storage facility is not something that can be done on the spur of
the moment without prior planning. Planning for ED operations begins when a storage facility is established, as
part of the unit's SOP. The ED part of the unit SOP should provide guidance for destroying all assets in the
storage area. It should address the when, where, and how of ED. The ED SOP should also include the name and
position of the individual who is authorized to execute the ED action.
