Write the report within 30 days. Make it in four copies. Send the original copy of the report to the unit
commander through command channels. At the same time, send a courtesy copy of the report directly to the unit
commander. Send another copy of the report to: US Army Materiel Command (AMC), 5001 Eisenhower
Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22333-0001. AMC uses these reports to develop a trend analysis to help evaluate basic
load stocks and improve their management. Keep the fourth copy of the report for your files. (If you have
inspected a National Guard unit, make five copies of the report and send one to: Chief, National Guard Bureau,
ATTN: NGB-ARO-AM, 5600 Columbia Pike, Falls Church, VA 22041-5125.)
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
In addition to basic load inspections, you may be called upon to make technical assistance visits to units that
the QA/QC section supports. Technical assistance is a dry-run inspection to see how well a unit would do in a
real basic load inspection or to see if deficiencies noted on the annual basic load inspection have been corrected
(see paragraph 3 in Figure 7). Units visited can be Reserve Component, National Guard, or active Army. In
addition to unit basic loads, technical assistance can be provided for ammunition operations, mission loads, or
contingency operations.
