e. The DA Form 3151-R is then returned to the stock control section where the quantity and types
of ammunition turned-in are compared against the DA Form 581 turn-in document from the using unit.
f. If there is a shortage, the stock control clerk lists the shortages on the DA Form 581.
NOTE: Further action required will be covered in Part D of this lesson.
g. If the SSA/ASP is reporting to a SAAS-3 unit, a DIC-XBH transaction card for each turn-in of
ammunition will be turned-in. SSAs/ASPs not reporting to a SAAS-3 unit will report turn-ins per
MACOM established procedures.
h. When turn-in processing is completed, including closing the action out on the document register
and posting stock records, the DA Form 581 and any additional documents supporting the turn-in are
filed in the SSA/ASP voucher file by SSA/ASP document number sequence.
PART C - DOCUMENT PREPARATION AND FLOW FOR AMMUNITION RESIDUE
1. The high cost of reusable components such as small arms cartridge cases, and the high cost of
packaging materials has initiated an effort in the Department of Defense to retrieve this materiel for
reuse or to sell the items for cost of recycled metals.
2. Ammunition residue that has been identified as economically returnable is identified in DA PAM
738-750. The ASP/SSA should publish this list in their external SOP to ensure all units are aware of
these standards.
3. Ammunition residue/salvageable items must be turned in to the SSA/ASP on a separate DA Form
581. An example of a complete DA Form 581 used to turn-in ammunition residue is shown in Figure 3.
4. The DA Form 581 and ammunition residue/salvageable turn-in will be prepared as follows:
NOTE: All blocks not listed below will be left blank.
Block 1

Block 3
