iiiSection I Introduction
1. Purpose and Scope: This SOP establishes ammunition supply procedures for Camp Ripley.
It identifies ASP support and customer responsibilities. It adheres to Department of Defense
(DOD), Department of the Army (DA), and Forces Command (FORSCOM) security,
accountability, safety and logistics regulations.
2. General: Munitions are one of the most expensive commodities used by the Armed Forces.
Because of the huge volume required for training, special procedures were implemented by the
Department of the Army to ensure that all organizations receive only authorized training
ammunition. Army Regulation 5-13 and the Total Ammunition Management Information System
(TAMIS) established guide lines to ensure that organizations received authorized requirements
and to stop the misuse, abuse, and stock piling of training ammunition. It is imperative that all
individuals involved with training ammunition be fully aware of these directives and their impact
if not adhered to. This installation WILL NOT issue ammunition to any unit without the
requirements in this SOP being met. All correspondence will be sent to the address below:
USPFO Supply and Services Branch
Attn: NGMN-USS
15000 HWY 115
Little Falls, MN 56345
3. Responsibilities: The USPFO Supply and Services Officer has the overall responsibility for
the operation of the Installation Ammunition Supply Point and related activities. It is the
responsibility of the Ammunition Supply Point (ASP) to ensure that all units comply with the
requirements set forth in this SOP. All personnel involved in ammunition activities will comply
with DOD/DA/FORSCOM regulations and applicable SOP’s governing ammunition operation.
It is the user’s responsibility to be aware of and in compliance.
a. Ammunition Supply Point (ASP) Responsibilities:
i. Prepare, revise, & publish external Class V SOP IAW current regulations,
directives & policies.
ii. Furnish ammunition based on quantities authorized.
iii. Manage all ammunition using Standard Army Ammunition System (SAAS).
iv. Strictly observe ammunition requisition procedures.
v. Maintain stock levels for mission requirements.
vi. Consolidate monthly training ammunition forecasts from the appropriate
commands.
vii. Process all requests for issue/turn in.
viii. Receive, store, issue and retrograde ammunition.
ix. Observe & enforce explosive safety, security and accountability requirements
during all operations.
x. Shipment of ammunition and residue as directed.
b. Major Subordinate Commands (MSC): Organizations having final approving
authority of DA Form 581.
i. Review & approve all requests of ammunition (DA 581) submitted by
subordinate units.
1ii. Manage & maintain records of subordinate units’ authorizations &
expenditures.
iii. Ensure DA Form 581s completed through TAMIS.
iv. Review subordinate units’ forecasts through TAMIS and verify approved
forecast.
v. Major Subordinate Commands (MSC) or organizations having final approving
authority of DA Form 581 will forward DA Form 1687 & assumption of
command.
vi. Approve issues for home station/other posts.
c. Unit Responsibilities:
i. Analyze scheduled training and unit strength to eliminate
unnecessary/unauthorized expenditures and ensure that class V requests are
limited to required items and authorized and realistic quantities.
ii. Monthly submission of accurate ammunition forecasts to their Major
Subordinate Command (MSC) for approval.
iii. Reconcile DA Form 581s in TAMIS.
iv. Maintain safe practices and appropriate security when handling, transporting,
storing, and using ammunition.
v. Maintain appropriate regulations and SOPs for the ammunition used and
operations being performed to include providing AINs and SOUMs to the end
users.
vi. Maintain accountability for all ammunition and residue components under
unit control.
vii. Ensure that personnel managing, handling and transporting ammunition have
been screened, trained, and certified IAW DA PAM 385-64, AR 190-11, AR
600-55, 49 CFR & DOD 4500.9-R.
viii. Ensure that DA1687 & DA581’s with original signatures are forwarded to the
ASP. Assumption of Command orders must accompany DA 1687. Digital
“wet” signatures are now required on Class V DA Form 1687s.
4. Concept of Operations: The Post ASP will store and issue all authorized Class V
(ammunition) items required to satisfy the needs of units training at Camp Ripley. Some items
may not be available, but every effort will be made to issue, a suitable and authorized substitute
item. All issues will be made from the ASP. Separate DA Form 581s will be submitted for each
scheduled ammunition draw.
5. Safety and Security: The paramount consideration in operating an ASP is the safety and
security of personnel, equipment and stocks. When conflicts occur between safety, security and
training realism; safety and security will be given priority, Class V items are deliberately
designed to be dangerous and destructive. All personnel associated with the Post ASP must be
constantly aware of the potential dangerous and destructive qualities of these items. Maintaining
safety and security of each respective storage point must receive special command emphasis
from all personnel involved in carrying out their assigned mission.

Section II (Detailed Ammunition Procedures for Units)
1. Section II of this SOP will provide training units with critical information concerning Class
V. It will take the using unit step by step to assist with Class V supply procedures. This SOP
should be read by the Unit Commander, Unit Trainer, and Unit Class V Coordinator. The
Unit Class V Coordinator should maintain this SOP for the unit. It should be treated as a
living document for changes will occur as dictated by Army Regulations. The Camp Ripley
ASP staff is here to assist and support using units so all training requirements for ammunition
can be accomplished. All references and forms used in this SOP are located on the Intranet
at…
https://ngmnsharepoint/CRTC/Log/ASP/default.aspx
This SOP can also be downloaded (in color) via the internet from the Minnesota
National Guard website.
https://minnesotanationalguard.ng.mil/camp-ripley-ammunition
2. The ASP’s hours of operation are from 0700-1630. Weekend hours are normally 0800-1530
but are subject to change based on demand. Arrangements for pickup and turn-ins other than
listed above must be made 48 hours in advance.
3. All units should coordinate pick-up items at least two days in advance; this allows a final
check of pick-up requirements to correct any potential problems.
4. If you are training, at any location other than Camp Ripley and require ammunition to be
transported to that location YOU MUST start coordination at least 30 DAYS in advance of
training date.
a. Training ammunition will not be shipped directly to any units. Units requiring these
items make arrangements to physically pick up the ammunition at the ASP.
b. Units are reminded of the requirement to comply with both physical security IAW
AR 190-11 and explosive safety IAW DA PAM 385-64 when storing ammunition in
Arms Rooms. A DD Form 2890 must be prepared for all ammunition transported on
4a public roadway (off post). Military and Civilian driver’s license required, ASP
personnel will verify prior to issue.

richard.s.alford3.civ@mail.mil
6. The following steps are listed in sequence to assist using units in accomplishing their
ammunition related mission smoothly and in a timely manner:
a. Forecasting: It is the unit’s responsibility to get an approved forecast through their
higher headquarters. Forecasts MUST be submitted 90 days prior to the required
training date. NO FORECAST, NO AMMO. Forecasting will be accomplished in
accordance with AR 5-13, Training Ammunition Management System. Chapter 2 of
AR 5-13 lists the objectives, functions and requirements for the proper submittal of
forecast by using TAMIS. https://tamis.army.mil The ASP orders all forecasted
ammunition, so please forecast as accurately as possible to prevent the cost of
unnecessary ammunition shipments.
b. DA Form 1687: Notice of Delegation of Authority-Receipt for Supplies, DA Form
1687, must be updated as changes occur. “THE AUTHORITY TO” block should
read “Request/ Receive ammunition from the supporting ammunition supply
activity”. The authorized representatives listed must have passed a security screening
as required by AR 190-11, Ref: Camp Ripley-Logistics-ASP-SharePoint. Only the
individuals listed on the unit’s current DA Form 1687 may request or receive
ammunition, no one individual may request and receive an individual document
number. Individuals on the DA Form 1687 must be HAZMAT certified to sign
for ammunition from the Camp Ripley ASP. Only the Unit Commander or
designated Property Book Officer can delegate authorization to request/receive
ammunition. A 1687 is required to be on file at the ASP for all approvers (block
14a.) of DA 581s. As of 13 MAY 2015, there are new/ additional requirements for
Class V signature cards. Please see the example DA FORM 1687 in SECTION VI of
this SOP for the proper format. Electronic “wet” signatures are now required and the
original electronic copy must be e-mailed to the ASP or placed directly in the “UNIT
COMPLETED 1687s” file on the MN Share Drive. Files will use the following
format: TAMIS UIC_UNIT NAME_DA1687 found at the link below
https://ngmnsharepoint/CRTC/Log/ASP/default.aspx.
c. Assumptions of Command: Assumption of Command Orders must accompany DA
Form 1687. The UIC and DODAAC on the assumption of command memo must
match the DA Form 1687 and TAMIS account.
5d. DA Form 581: All Army and Marine Corp units are required to use the electronic
581 (e-581) in TAMIS. A separate e-581 must be submitted for every scheduled
draw. The ASP will not store ammunition for a unit after it has been signed for on a
DA FORM 581. A unit will typically have several DA FORM 581s for an AT period.
Applicable Ammunition Information Notices (AINs) will be given to the unit at the
time of their ammunition draw. AINs contain important safety information that must
be passed on to the user.
i. For other organizations, a “For Issue” DA Form 581, Request for Issue and
Turn-in of Ammunition, will be prepared. Block 13: Enter name of
authorized requestor as indicated by using unit’s DA Form 1687 and enter
signature of authorized requestor. Block 14: Enter the name and signature of
the authorized approving authority.
ii. The DA Form 581, will be received by the ASP at least three days prior to the
requested pick-up date.
iii. Any variations or special circumstances will require a MOU between the
customer unit and the ASP.
e. Receiving Training Ammunition: Units are required to schedule/verify draw times
24 hours prior to arriving at the ASP for ammunition pick-up. Vehicles being
dispatched to transport ammunition should be inspected by unit maintenance
personnel prior to arrival at ASP. A stringent safety inspection will be performed by
ASP personnel, using DD Form 626. ASP personnel will brief the vehicle drivers and
issue them a DD Form 2890 for any ammunition being transported off post. Units
are required to review their load plan with ASP personnel prior to receiving
ammunition. Space, weight, and compatibility restrictions must be taken into
consideration when creating a load plan. Use the CAPULDI and YELLOW BOOK
for assistance in developing your load plan. Both of these publications can be found
under the ASIS tab of the Munitions5 History Program (MHP) website.
https://mhp.redstone.army.mil/MhpMain.aspx
i. Vehicles containing Category I or II ammunition require an armed guard and
should be requested for pick-up on the same day as use.
ii. Hazard class/division 1.4 ammunition and limited quantities of pyrotechnics
may be stored in the Cantonment Area with an approved site license from the
Installation Safety Office, (320) 616-3158. Explosive safety standards and
sufficient security measures must be taken into consideration and be in
accordance with DA Pam 385-64 and AR 190-11. Other ammunition will not
be stored within the Cantonment Area. Storage requirements may be
coordinated with the Installation Safety Office or the Regional QASAS.
f. Ammunition Shipping and Movements: ALL personnel transporting ammunition
will have the appropriate licensing requirements met in order to transport ammunition
from the ASP and have the following on the military driver’s license; GCSS codes:
AMOH-Ammo Handling, HZMT-HAZMAT Training, both will be required. Only
vehicles with satisfactory conditions will be accepted for loading. Vehicles arriving
to pick up class/division 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 (other than 1.4s small arms ammunition)
explosives will be inspected IAW DOD 4500 9-R, DA PAM 385-64, and FORSCOM
Reg 700-4, chap 3. Minimum requirement for vehicle fire extinguishers for all
movements of ammunition in government vehicles is two 10BC rated extinguishers
for each vehicle, NSN 4210-01-149-1356. Ammunition in all vehicles will be
6strapped down securely with approved tie down straps NSN 16700-00-725-1437,
IAW FORSCOM Reg 700-4, Para 3-2d or blocked and braced IAW AMC Series
Drawings 19-48. All ammunition must be in a covered vehicle or covered with a
tarp. All vehicles carrying 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 other than (1.4s) ammunition will
be placarded.
g. Transportation of Small Arms Ammunition: As a general rule, ammunition will
not be transported in a passenger compartment of a vehicle. However, limited
quantities (no more than two full outer packs) of small arms ammunition may be
transported in the trunk or cargo areas of van type GSA vehicles. This applies only to
hazard class/division 1.4S small arms and only when it would create a hardship on the
unit to obtain the proper type vehicle required. NO ammunition may be transported
in privately owned vehicles (POVs).
h. Dual Driver Protective Service (DDPS): The following selected ammunition, in
quantities shown, does not require DDPS:
i. Inert/Dummy - any quantity
ii. Blank Small Arms Ammunition (1.4S) - any quantity
iii. .22 Caliber Ammunition - any quantity
Note: All other ammunition items regardless of quantity require DDPS with both drivers
HAZMAT trained.
i. DA Form 5515: Training Ammunition Control Document DA FORM 5515 is used
as a sub hand receipt for ammunition at First Line Supervisor level (FLS). Using this
Form will aid Range OIC’s/NCOIC’s in determining the minimum number of
ammunition containers to be opened for the completion of training. 5515’s are not to
be used to transfer ammunition between units.
j. Turning in Ammunition and Residue:
i. Scheduling Turn-ins: Units are required to schedule turn-ins a minimum of
24 hours in advance. Requests for turn-in will be processed by the ASP on a
first-come, first-served basis. Live and residue must be segregated or placed
on separate vehicles. Units must bring enough personnel to unload, screen
and handle the quantity of ammunition and/or residue that is being turned in.
Weights and quantities are recorded on locally-generated Live and Residue
Turn-in Worksheets. The unit representative turning in the
ammunition/residue must know the approximate quantity/weight of
ammunition being turned in and verify the ASP’s counts and weights
before signing the turn-in worksheet. Turn-ins must be organized with
items separated by type. Disorganized turn-ins can create accountability
problems and potential safety hazards. The ASP may require a unit fix their
deficiencies and reschedule their turn-in if it is disorganized. The turn-in
worksheets are consolidated when the unit clears with the ASP.
Turn-ins are not accepted after 1500 hrs. without prior approval. During a
typical Annual Training period, a unit may have several turn-ins. Final turn-
ins and clearing for an AT period must be scheduled before 1100 hrs. Units
sharing ammunition or utilizing shared ranges are responsible for turning in
their own live ammunition and residue quantities. The ASP WILL NOT
separate residue weights after turn-ins are completed. It is the unit’s
7
Iresponsibility to do this prior to arriving at the ASP for their scheduled turn-
in.
ii. Clearing: Separate DA FORM 581s will be prepared for live ammunition,
and residue items. The ASP will provide SAAS-generated DA FORM 581s
for live turn-ins. The ASP reconciles the residue turn-in quantities using the
weight factors listed in SECTION VI of this SOP or by an individual item
count. Guidance for the turn-in of specific groups of ammunition can also be
found in SECTION VI. Ask ASP personnel if you have any questions. All
ammunition turned in live must be inspected by an E-7 or above from the
using unit and repackaged in its original configuration (see inspection
certificate in Section IV of this SOP). Complete DA Form 5811-R (Lost or
Damaged Class V Ammunition) items for any residue shortages. The first
LTC (O-5) in chain of command signs the certificate. Completion
documentation is required from the using unit within five working days after
completion of the training. When the using unit exceeds the five working
days’ time limit without prior coordination, the ASP initiates command
notification and WILL NOT issue more ammunition to that unit until the
documentation is completed.
j. DA Form 5692-R: All Security Category I and II ammunition/explosives require DA
FORM 5692-R (Ammunition Consumption Certificate). This form is signed by the
OIC of the range.
k. DA Form 5811-R: Certificate - Lost or damaged Class V. Required if any
ammunition is unaccounted for or damaged.
l. Ammunition Pick-Up Checklist: To draw ammunition, you must meet the following
criteria and coordinate with ASP personnel NLT two days before pick-up date:
i. A properly completed DA Form 1687 electronically submitted to the ASP.
(See example on page 10)
ii. Assumption of Command Order for the individual authenticating above DA
Form 1687.
iii. Approved forecast.
iv. An Approved DA FORM 581 (e-581). Block 13 & 14 must be signed by
individual as authorized on current DA 1687.
v. A valid military ID card is required for person signing DA Form 581 (receipt
for issue and turn-in of ammunition).
vi. Commercial drivers, DOD civilians, contractors, and reserve technicians in
technician status must have a commercial driver’s license (CDL) endorsed for
hazardous material and vehicle type. A medical examiner’s certificate issued
within the previous 24 months is also required.
vii. Military personnel have to be in uniform and have in their possession a valid
military driver’s license with “Ammunition Handler, HAZMAT Training and
type of vehicle driving qualifications. A CDL with HAZMAT endorsement
cannot be used in lieu of a military driver’s license.
viii. All drivers and assistant drivers picking up ammunition are required to be
Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) trained and have in their possession proof of
ammunition-specific training (valid for two years), Military Drivers License,
Memorandum For Class V; Hazardous material, Function Specific Handler/
Driver Training. Unit personnel signing for and transporting ammunition
8must meet the training requirements listed in SECTION V of this SOP.
Registration for the required courses is done through the ATRRS website.
https://www.atrrs.army.mil
ix. Proper vehicles. Only 1.4S small arms ammunition can be transported in
vans, sedans, blazers, 4 seat HMMWVs or other passenger vehicles. Limited
amounts (two, outer packs) of small arms ammunition 1.4S can be transported
in the above type passenger carrying vehicles.
x. Create a load plan and have it available to review with the ASP prior to
receiving ammunition. The driver of each vehicle must have a load plan for
their specific vehicle.
xi. Two 10-BC rated fire extinguishers per vehicle regardless of the type of
ammunition. (NSN 4210-00-775-0127)
xii. Ample tie-down Straps for securing all ammunition. Rope or other tie-down
materials are not authorized. (NSN 1670-00-725-1437/5340-00-980-9277)
xiii. Dual Driver Protective Service (DDPS) requires two licensed and HAZMAT
trained personnel in any vehicle transporting ammunition. The only exception
being that any quantity of 1.4S blank and .22 CAL ammunition does not
require DDPS.
xiv. An E-5 or above is required to sign for Security CAT I and II ammunition
items. CAT I & II items include AT-4’s demolition items, and fragmentation
grenades. An armed guard is required to transport CAT I & CAT II items. Be
sure to request ammunition for the armed guard on the e581. REF: AR 190-
11, paragraph 7-10c.
xv. Turn-in of all ammunition items (serviceable, unserviceable and residue) has
to be done on a DA Form 581. The ASP staff will assist in the preparation of
the DA Form 581s.
xvi. All vehicles, both contract and tactical, to be loaded with ammunition will be
required to pass a safety inspection as detailed on DD Form 626. Units should
conduct a DD Form 626 inspection prior to arriving at the ASP to ensure that
their vehicle(s) are suitable for transporting ammunition. Drivers arriving at
the ASP with blocks 1 through 11 completed will expedite the vehicle
inspection process.
9Section III Ammunition Amnesty Program:
1. The ammunition amnesty program is necessary to ensure maximum recovery of military
ammunition, explosives, and residue items. The program is established to provide an
opportunity for individuals to return ammunition, which has been stolen, misplaced, or
erroneously left in the possession of a unit after turn-in and reconciliation has been finalized.
These returns can be made without fear of prosecution.
2. During normal operating hours, ASP personnel will accept delivery of all items turned in
under the Amnesty Program. Ammunition items must be handed directly to an ASP operator
at the ASP. No paperwork required.
3. The Amnesty Program is not a substitute for normal turn-in procedures and will not be used
to avoid standard supply procedures. Units discovering ammunition on-hand after having
reconciled their account are authorized and encouraged to make an amended turn-in.
4. Suspect and/or unidentified Ammunition/explosives Found On Post (AFOP) after normal
ASP duty hours will be handled by Range Control or Security personnel.
5. Unit Commanders should perform quarterly briefings on the Amnesty Program procedures.
A refresher should be given during pre-firing briefings.
6. Amnesty that is safe to handle and transport can be turned in directly to the ASP at any time.
The ASP has an amnesty box located by the South entrance to building 24-199, Range
Control. Small arms, .50 cal and below can be deposited in this amnesty box. Do NOT bring
amnesty items into building 24-199.
7. An annual amnesty day will be scheduled within the last quarter of each fiscal year. The
Camp Ripley Joint Visitors Bureau (JVB) will advertise the amnesty day.

18Section VI Residue Turn-In General Guidance
Small Arms Residue
Small arms brass and links are separated by caliber and accounted for by weight. Place expended cartridge
casings in the wire bound boxes that it was issued in. Brass and links must be dry and free of debris. Metal ammo
cans must dry and completely empty. Every can will be opened and inspected by ASP personnel to verify that they
are empty and place a “EMPTY” sticker over the top of can prior to inspection completion. Unit personnel will
screen all brass brought back to the ASP at the time of turn in before weights will be tallied.
Small Arms Blank Residue
Follow the same guidance listed under “Small Arms Residue” except that only 50% of the brass weight is
required and calibers may be mixed. Opened 5.56mm blanks will either be put back in their original cardboard
boxes or on stripper clips to allow for an accurate count.
25mm Residue
Expended cartridge casings and links will be separated and accounted for by weight. Depending on the
quantity, casings and links may be collected in hoppers available to be signed out from the ASP. Hoppers are
limited to use for 25mm casings and link only. Units will be limited to two hoppers per range. Cans will be turned
in with the inner packing (Black plastic spacers) still inside.
40mm - Single Round
Expended cartridge casings are accounted for by counting each casing. For DODIC B519, place the white
plastic casings (25 ea.) back into the cardboard boxes that they came in. This allows them to be counted quickly.
Aluminum 40mm casings will also be counted and can be returned in any container.
40mm for MK-19
MK-19 ammunition is generally packaged 32 per metal can. MK-19 casings are accounted for by weight.
Remove all foam packaging and put as many expended casings as possible in the metal cans. Cans will be weighed
without the lids. Remaining cans will be turned in completely empty and inspected by ASP personnel. The large,
flat foam pieces are recycled and should be turned back in to the ASP. The shaped pieces can be discarded.
Mortars
All mortars come packaged in fiber tubes. The fiber tubes are packaged in wire bound boxes, hinged
wooden boxes, or metal cans. Accountability is determined by the turn-in of the fibers and boxes/cans. Turn-in
wooden boxes and metals cans completely empty. Having the lids off of the fiber tubes when arriving at the ASP
will expedite the turn-in. Large wire baskets are available from ASP to aid in the handling of the fibers.
105mm Howitzer
105mm howitzer rounds are packaged in fiber tubes. The fiber tubes are either packaged 2 per wooden box
or one per metal canister. Accountable residue for each round is a nose plug (metal or plastic), casing, fiber, and
canister/wood box.
120mm Tank
Aft caps must be turned in. Keep pallets (“honeycombs”) banded. Return with lids off.
155mm Howitzer Projectiles
155mm projectiles are accounted for by the turn-in of the nose plug, grommet and pallet top/bottom. Nose
plugs and grommets will be counted individually. Place nose plugs in a wire bound box. Connect grommets in
rings of 5 each to expedite counting. Pallet tops and bottoms will be separated and places on pallets.
ARTY Fuzes
Artillery fuzes come packaged 8 ea per metal can. Turn in the cans completely empty.
Demolition Items
Demolition items come in a variety of different packaging configurations. Any metal cans or hinged wood
boxes must be returned to the ASP. Since many demolition items are completely consumed and many are CIIC
CAT 2, a consumption certificate (DA FORM 5692) signed by the OIC of the range is required.
Pyrotechnics
Pyrotechnic items come in a variety of different packaging configurations. All metal cans and hinged wood
boxes must be returned to the ASP. Many items do not require anything to be turned in. However, expended items
(such as smoke grenade bodies and flare tubes) and trash must be removed from the training area and disposed of at
the ASP.

20Sample Residue Request Memorandum
Ammunition residue items (including empty cans) may be requested for official use.
Requests may only be submitted by the S4 or commander.
*This memorandum must be sent to the USPFO Supply and Services Branch Chief (LTC
Larson) for approval. Items must be turned back in to the ASP if/when they are no longer
needed.
