(6) Ensure that training ammunition forecasts (projected usage) are saved in TAMIS before thelock-in. Forecasts will cover 3 months. (For example, ammunition required for the month of Augustshould be forecasted no later than 31 May. 31 May locks in June, July and August, 30 June locks in July,August, and September).(7) Ensure PTAOs and ATAOs are trained in the use of TAMIS for the management of unittraining ammunition.(8) Monitor training ammunition authorizations and sub-authorizations for subordinate units.(9) Ensure subordinate organizations do not forecast, request, draw, or expend ammunition inexcess of the authorized amount for the specified training event, in accordance with DA Pamphlet350-38.(10) Provide justification to the USAREUR TAMO, endorsed by the first commander in the rankof lieutenant colonel or higher, for all training ammunition authorization requests that exceed the annualauthorization provided in the strategy tables of DA Pamphlet 350-38. Appendix E provides examples ofwritten justifications.(11) Establish unit policies and standing operating procedures (SOPs). SOPs should include unitprocedures for forecasting, receipt, storage, accountability, administrative control, and explosives safetyin accordance with this regulation and all other applicable HQDA and USAREUR guidance.(12) Provide a command representative to attend the semi-annual USAREUR AmmunitionManagement Working Group (UAMWG). The representative must be currently assigned as a PTAO orATAO.(13) Comply with ammunition supply and accountability procedures outlined in all currentHQDA and USAREUR regulatory and administrative guidance.(14) Coordinate with the supporting ASA to establish necessary accounts and to monitor thestatus of required munitions support.f. Unit PTAOs and ATAOs. Unit PTAOs and ATAOs will—(1) Serve as the primary and alternate POCs for all issues pertaining to training ammunitionauthorizations, requirements, management, and processing within TAMIS.(2) Verify personnel and weapons densities for the command, and for all subordinate units, inaccordance with the guidelines established in this regulation, and as changes to unit structure, weapons,and personnel occur. TAOs will validate weapons densities and personnel strengths for each unit by—(a) Using the requirements tool in TAMIS.(b) Using the modification table of organization and equipment (MTOE) and table ofdistribution and allowances (TDA) data, as provided by the U.S. Army Force Management System(FMSWeb).7AE Reg 5-13 16 Jul 20]

(3) Review and validate annual training ammunition requirements and forecasts for eachDepartment of Defense Identification Code (DODIC) of ammunition that is required to meet thecommand’s training plans, and post them in TAMIS according to timelines established in this regulation.(4) Manage subordinate unit authorizations to meet valid requirements and to meet individualunit training needs for the fiscal year (FY). Authorizations remaining in parent accounts after 1 August,and listed as “available to sub-authorize,” will be considered unnecessary and cross-leveled to otherUSAREUR commands by the USAREUR TAMO.(5) Update forecasts each month and enter the forecasts in TAMIS before the 1st day of eachmonth to lock-in (finalize) ammunition requirements for the next 3 calendar months. For example,ammunition required for August should be forecasted before 1 June. Forecasts should be locked in to theASA closest to the actual training location whenever possible.(6) Process and validate electronic DA Form 581s (e581s) for their units in support of themonthly forecasts of subordinate units in their command.(7) Process forecasted and unforecasted training ammunition requests on separate e581s.Annotate the word “unforecasted” in the comments field for each DODIC line-entry on the applicablee581s.(8) Attach the memorandum requesting unforecasted ammunition (figure E-3) to the associatede581 in TAMIS.(9) Use TAMIS for all training ammunition management functions.(10) Maintain a copy of all e581s and supporting documentation in compliance with the ArmyRecords and Information Management System (ARIMS).g. USAREUR ASA Accountable Officers.

SECTION IIGENERAL AMMUNITION MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES5. USAREUR AMMUNITION MANAGEMENT WORKING GROUPThe UAMWG is conducted to coordinate current and future training ammunition requirements,management, and support within USAREUR. This forum covers all aspects of USAREUR ammunitionsupport to include requirements, authorizations, new equipment fielding and training, command-specificissues, and every other aspect of supported and supporting structure sustainment. The UAMWGincludes representatives from every echelon of ammunition support within USAREUR, and it serves asa venue for resolution of training ammunition issues; as well as for operational and combat loadammunition issues, as required.a. The USAREUR TAMO will schedule the UAMWG.b. Representatives must be capable of addressing at least the following agenda topics—(1) Current and next year authorizations based on developing mission requirements.(2) Historical expenditure rates for the past 24 months.(3) Obligated ammunition.(4) Open documents status.(5) Remaining training ammunition account balances for the current FY.(6) Training requirements for the remainder of the FY.(7) STRAC strategy authorizations (yearly).(8) Unit personnel and weapons densities.(9) Command cross-leveling strategy.(10) Assigned weapons systems ammunition requirements and strategies.(11) Operational issues effecting current and future training strategies.(12) Expenditure trends.(13) Non-reclaimed turn-in munitions.(14) Amnesty procedures (para 9) and trends.(15) Ammunition surveillance issues.(16) Ammunition management inspection (AMI) trends, issues, and schedules.(17) ASA operational concerns.9AE Reg 5-13 16 Jul 20]

(18) Safety issues pertaining to unit explosives, and to the storage and use of trainingammunition.(19) Current and forthcoming policies and procedures.6. TRAINING EVENT CODES AND MISSION EVENT CODESThe USAREUR TAMO can provide more detailed information about the use of codes.a. DODICs. Units will—(1) Use the appropriate four-digit DODICs when preparing an e581 for draw from ASAs. If ane581 is processed that does not use the proper DODIC, the ASA will not issue the ammunition until thediscrepancy is resolved.(2) Refer to DA Pamphlet 350-38, U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC)Pamphlet 350-38, or the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) approved programs ofinstruction (POI) for DODICs authorized for use by HQDA.b. Training Event Codes (TECs). Units will use the appropriate TEC from table 1 when preparingan e581 in TAMIS.Table 1Training Event CodesEvent CodeCode DescriptionTRNNew Equipment Training (NET)TROTraining, Other (normally Marine Corps use)TRPProgram of Instruction training (POI)TRSAll STRAC Trainingc. Mission Event Codes.(1) Mission Event Codes (MECs) are HQDA-approved three-digit codes that providecommanders and ammunition managers additional query capabilities to track expenditures for specificmissions or events (for example, Exercise Bright Star, Operation ENDURING FREEDOM).(2) When required, units will enter a MEC in TAMIS when preparing the e581. Units will useMECs only as directed by the USAREUR TAMO, or by the Munitions Section, SPO, 21st SC.(3) Do not use MECs for standard STRAC training events, normal gunnery, or qualifications.Units should leave the MEC block of the e581 blank unless directed by one of the offices in (2) above.10AE Reg 5-13 16 Jul 20]

7. TRAINING AMMUNITION FOR USE AT U.S. CONTROLLED TRAINING AREASa. To limit unnecessary wear and tear of ammunition, units will draw only the quantity ofammunition required to conduct training planned for the current gunnery or range rotation. TheUSAREUR TAMO may reduce future event authorizations if a unit draws excessive trainingammunition to support events beyond established requirements.b. When possible, unit TAOs will consolidate subordinate unit requests to reduce the number of opendocuments. Unit TAOs should close previously submitted documents and consolidate small-unitrequests.c. On completion of a training event, units will reconcile e581s within 5 workdays. In addition, theapprover must reconcile the e581 in TAMIS within 10 calendar days after the last day of training. If theunit does not reconcile the document, the document becomes delinquent. Units with delinquentdocuments will be suspended from further issues of training ammunition until documents are reconciled.d. Commanders are authorized to temporarily draw, store, and secure training ammunition in aproperly licensed storage facility (for example, an arms room, or an earth-covered magazine) for aperiod not to exceed 90 days.e. Units will maintain a DA Form 3020-R, in accordance with DA Pamphlet 700-16, for all trainingammunition stored for more than 24 hours.f .Commanders will ensure that training ammunition is inventoried daily, for items stored in a fieldenvironment; and monthly, for items secured using the intrusion detection system (IDS).g. Units must physically separate training ammunition from operational and combat-loadammunition within the same storage area.8. TRANSPORTATION, SAFETY, AND SECURITY OF AMMUNITIONRefer to the following publications for—a. Transportation. AR 190-11, AR 190-13, AE Regulation 55-1, AE Regulation 55-4.b. Safety. DA Pamphlet 385-64, AE Regulation 385-64.c. Security. AR 190-11, AR 190-13.9. RECOVERED AMMUNITION (AMNESTY)a. USAREUR ammunition amnesty programs are intended to maximize recovery of militaryammunition and explosive (A&E) items found outside the supply system. They are not intended tocircumvent normal turn-in procedures. The ammunition amnesty program provides an opportunity forindividuals, free from fear of prosecution, to return ammunition found, stolen, misplaced, or erroneouslyleft in the possession of a unit after turn-in; and after finalized reconciliation of the issue document.b. Ammunition amnesty turn-ins will not be the sole basis for the initiation of an investigation orprosecution.11AE Reg 5-13 16 Jul 20]

c. Garrisons, installations, and forward operating bases with elements that use ammunition willestablish an A&E amnesty program.d. Contact supporting garrison safety personnel for amnesty times and locations.e. All UASREUR ASAs (except for ASA7) have ammunition amnesty points located within theirfacilities. Contact ASA personnel for hours of operation for ASA amnesty points.f. Commanders will—(1) Monitor the amnesty program as an indicator of the effectiveness of ammunitionaccountability.(2) Ensure assigned personnel are briefed on A&E amnesty program policies and proceduresevery 6 months and before each exercise or training event that requires the use of A&E.g. All found ammunition, excluding U.S. small arms ammunition (up to and including .50 caliber),will be considered hazardous and will only be moved by trained personnel. Small arms ammunition (upto .50 caliber) may be transported to a local amnesty point or supporting ASA by military police, or bythe local supporting range control station, for disposition.10. AMMUNITION MALFUNCTION PROCEDURESUnits will report ammunition or explosives malfunctions in accordance with AR 75-1, AE Regulation700-150, and the local range SOP.SECTION IIITAMIS11. GENERALa. TAMIS is the accredited U.S. Army system for managing ammunition for the following uses:training, combat-load, NET, operational-load, operational-project, sustainment-load, and testing.b. TAMIS provides real-time, web-based enterprise information. TAMIS processes data defined bythe U.S. Army as unclassified and nonsensitive using advanced security features for additionalprotection against unauthorized use.c. The USAREUR TAMO is the primary trainer, administrator, and help desk respondent for Armyin Europe TAMIS users. Additional information is available by contacting the USAREUR TAMO atmilitary 475-6104/8253/8348, or email: .12. PURPOSE OF TAMISTAMIS is a management tool and database to establish, maintain, and manage ammunitionrequirements, authorizations, and forecasts, and to monitor expenditures. TAMIS—a. Provides real-time information.b. Calculates requirements for training, operational, and combat load munitions.12AE Reg 5-13 16 Jul 20]

c. Ensures compliance with established authorization levels.d. Creates and routes e581s, requests for issue or turn-in.e. Generates ammunition forecasts to ASAs.f. Provides standardized and ad hoc query ammunition management reports.13. TAMIS USERSa. The following are authorized TAMIS users:(1) Office of the Director of Training (DAMO-TRS), Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3/5/7,Headquarters, Department of the Army, 400 Army Pentagon, Washington DC 20310-0400.(2) Army commands, Army service component commands, and direct-reporting units.(3) Active Army installations and ASAs.(4) Training ammunition managers at the brigade, battalion, and separate company levels.Separate companies (for example, 19th Battlefield Coordination Detachment; C Company, 53d SignalBattalion) will be treated as battalions for TAMIS purposes.b. Battalions or separate companies are the lowest authorized levels of TAMIS management. Allcompanies in a battalion will requisition and forecast ammunition using the battalion UIC, andappropriate Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DODAAC).(1) Units will use the DODAAC with the description “UNSUPLY” (unit supply) for trainingammunition.(2) Units will use the DODAAC with the description “PB/PBUSE” (Property Book/PropertyBook, Unit Supply, Enhanced) for operational and combat load ammunition.(3) The Army Enterprise Systems Integration Program (AESIP) is the portal for UIC/DODAACverification: https://www.aesip.army.mil/irj/portal.14. ATTENDING THE TAMCa. Units will use the Army Training Requirements and Resources System (ATRRS)(https://www.atrrs.army.mil) to enroll personnel in the Training Ammunition Management Course at theCombined Arms Training Center (CATC). Each student must—(1) Meet the course text prerequisites in ATRRS.(2) Be an officer, warrant officer, staff sergeant or above; or a civilian employee in the grade ofGS-5 or above.(3) Be appointed by their battalion-level or higher commander as the unit PTAO or ATAO.13AE Reg 5-13 16 Jul 20]

b. At least 1 week before the class starts, students will send the following by email to the USAREURTAMO at: :(1) PTAO and ATAO duty appointment memorandums.(2) A signed DA Form 1687 with an assumption-of-command order attached (DA Pam 700-16).NOTE: HQDA no longer requires the use of DA Form 7281 when screening and evaluating personnelfor duties involving control of all categories of AA&E. Units that send students to the TAMC will usescreening and evaluation procedures prescribed by the Army Physical Security Program.c. The CATC funds this course. CATC registration information is available at military 476-3962.d. The TAMC provides information about common ammunition forms, ammunition managementfunctions, STRAC requirements, and the use of TAMIS.e. The TAMC is not an ammunition handlers’ course.SECTION IVREQUIREMENTS, AUTHORIZATIONS, AND FORECASTING15. CALCULATING REQUIREMENTSa. Determining training ammunition requirements ensures that each organization receives theammunition needed to perform mandatory qualification and sustainment training as prescribed by:AR 350-1, DA Pamphlet 350-38, USASOC Pamphlet 350-38, and TRADOC approved POIs.b. The STRAC manual (DA Pam 350-38) provides applicable units with a strategy for each weaponsystem. Centers of Excellence (COEs) establish the strategy based on coordinated input from HQDA,Army units, and combat developers.c. The STRAC determines the quantities and types of ammunition required for Soldiers, crews, andunits to attain and sustain weapon proficiency based on unit readiness levels while maximizing the useof training aids, devices, simulators, and simulations.d. Ammunition management success is based on the interactive exchange between TRADOC andArmy units on proponent issues and strategies. This process helps develop training ammunitionrequirements for units to reach and sustain desired readiness levels.16. AUTHORIZATIONS MANAGEMENTa. Primary TAAHs within the Army in Europe will receive initial authorizations for the next FYfrom the USAREUR TAMO by 1 July of the current FY. The primary TAAHs will provide initialauthorizations for the next FY to their subordinates by 15 July of the current FY. The USAREURTAMO will not consider requests for FY authorization increases until at least the first UAMWG of thatFY; or when a unit has reached 50 percent expended (whichever comes first).14AE Reg 5-13 16 Jul 20]

b. The USAREUR TAMO will process any requests for additional authorizations on a case-by-casebasis. Units must provide any requests at least 30 days before the projected training date. These requestsare not guaranteed to be filled. The USAREUR TAMO will determine whether other USAREURorganizations can pro
