INTRODUCTION
As an ammunition officer, you will be responsible for several different functions relating to ammunition support.
One of these functions is shipping Class V stocks to support the customer's ammunition requirements.
The term "shipment" refers to the movement and/or transfer of ammunition stocks from one ammunition storage
activity to another storage activity using transportation assets not organic to the shipping unit. Issues to using
units are not considered as shipments. This lesson is applicable to both peacetime and wartime requirements.
Safety considerations: You will note throughout this subcourse that safety is a major consideration. Ammunition
and explosives are most vulnerable to accidents during shipments and/or transportation related functions. To
ensure any dangerous conditions are minimized, all actions will be scrutinized, inspected, and approved before,
during, and after the shipment.
