INTRODUCTION
In a combat situation, you may be required to establish an ammunition storage facility in a Theater Storage Area
(TSA), a Corps Storage Area (CSA), or an Ammunition Supply Point (ASP). Your Ammunition Group
Headquarters or other major command will designate the general area within which the storage site must be
established. It will then be your responsibility to select both a primary location and an alternate location, then
prepare a storage plan and a site layout plan. You must consider the type storage system, the separation distances
within major areas, stock dispersion requirements, and many other variables.
SITE SELECTION AND LAYOUT
1. You have been tasked to select a storage site for a new Ammunition Supply Point (ASP).
2. The first step is to obtain a map of the area in which you have been directed to establish the new site. You
will also want to obtain a recent aerial photo, as it will provide the most up-to-date information.
a. The criteria you will be looking for during this map reconnaissance are:
