readiness of the Army.
The Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics (DCSLOG) at HQDA will provide the final decision on type,
block, or serious impact suspensions or restrictions affecting the readiness of the Army.
A type suspension or restriction is one that is applied to all lots of one model number, including

munitions item to less than 50 percent of the stockpile; 2. Is determined to have a significant
impact on Army readiness regardless of percentage of stockpile affected; or 3. Prevents a unit
from meeting its operational commitment.
Responsibilities When the DAITM is Used
The DAITM is authorized to conduct an in-depth, on-site inquiry to determine the conditions, the chain

When the DAITM is used, responsibilities go back down the chain of command.
AMCCOM will take the following actions:
Determine, within 24 hours of receiving the preliminary report, whether an on-site investigation
by DAITM is required, and notify the reporting organization of this decision.
Direct the shipment of samples or residue as required.
Ensure that the DAITM provides an exit briefing to the affected MACOM.
