INTRODUCTION
As an ammunition supply officer, you may be assigned at various levels within the Department of the Army (DA).
These assignments will range from the Ammunition Supply Point (ASP), the Division Ammunition Office (DAO),
Corps and Theater Support Areas, and other major commands (MACOMS), through the HQDA or DOD level.
With the diversity of these assignments you must know how to conduct ammunition supply management functions
for each level. See Figure 1, page 2.
This subcourse is designed to introduce the various documents and publications required to establish and
conduct safe and efficient ammunition supply operations.
A major item of interest about military publications is how they can help you conduct business at all levels. They
always depict how the document is laid out. They provide the major topics and a listing of related and/or
reference materials that may be used to support your requirements.
Let's look at the different types of publications that cover ammunition, and some specific publication numbers of
each type.
