2. The three elements we just discussed all work under the direction of the Class V Supply Section
Office. This is usually where you will find the DAO and his Chief Ammunition NCO.
a. The DAO is responsible for the overall operations and control of the office. He can be a Division
Support Command (DISCOM) staff officer, or he may function under the Materiel Management Center
(MMC) of the DISCOM. As such, he represents the MMC and DISCOM commander on matters
pertaining to ammunition requirements.
b. In cases having major impact on the DISCOM mission, the DAO obtains approval of the
DISCOM commander or the DMMO before taking action. He maintains liaison with the supporting
ASPs, and ammunition staff officers at higher headquarters (i.e. COSCOM MMC Class V section,
COSCOM MMC). Specifically, the DAV has the following functions:

Requests additional transportation assets for unsupported requirements through the
Movement Control Office in the DISCOM SPO.

requirements.
