Types of rounds or items. This column contains the different types of rounds or items that make up
the total quantity in the Unit Per Weapon Per Day column.
represents the total amount of each of the items in the Types of Rounds or Items column.
Here is an example of how to compute PWRMS.
Using Rifle, 5.56mm for USARPAC, in Appendix B (page 28) we find that the total
authorization per weapon is 126 rounds. Of these 126 rounds, 36 are A066 Ball, 72 are
A071 Ball, and the remaining 18 are Tracers.
Now try to solve the following situations.
The Situation: Compute PWRMS for USAREUR for 4.2-inch mortar when the WD is 500 and
the DOS authorized is 60.
We determine that the ER is 75.441.
The correct amount is figured like this:
WD
x
ER
x
DOS
=
PWRMS
500
x
75.441 x
60
=
2,263,230
The Situation: How many of the above rounds would be high explosive (HE) without fuzes?
We determine the amount to be 861,000.
The correct amount is figured like this:
WD
x
ER
x
DOS
=
PWRMS
500
x
28.7
x
60
=
861,000
The Situation: How many proximity fuzes are authorized to be stocked for the above HE
without fuzes?
We determine the amount to be 792,300.
The correct amount is figured like this:
WD
x
ER
x
DOS
=
PWRMS
500
x
26.41
x

=
792,300
COMPUTING OPERATIONAL PROJECT STOCKS
Nonadditive Operational Project Stocks
These stocks are earmarked and designated to support US forces requirements. Probably the
most common operational project for an active theater is the Barrier plan. Barrier materials are bulk-
allocated items that are allocated to an active theater based on total personnel strength. The bulk-
allocation formula is--number of personnel times ER times number of days divided by 1,000.
Now try to solve the following situation using Appendix B, Page 34.
The Situation: Compute nonadditive operational project stocks for a USAREUR with a
personnel strength of 82,462, for 30 days for M21 antitank mine.
