This field manual provides ready reference and guidance for units and soldiers that handle munitions items. It is not a comprehensive manual, but it does provide useful data on important points of munitions service support. Also, it is a training tool for munitions units and soldiers. Focus is on tactics, techniques, and procedures used by soldiers handling munitions. The information and guidance contained herein will help them to safely receive, ship, store, handle, maintain, and issue munitions. The manual provides information on processing unit turn-ins, destroying unserviceable munitions, and transporting munitions in new, maturing, or mature theaters of operations in support of the force projection Army. The information in this manual conforms to the procedures of MOADS, MOADS-PLS, and modularity, and will take munitions units well into the twenty-first century.

Munitions directly impact the success of tactical operations. It is the function of ammunition companies and modular ammunition platoons in the theater of operations to best support the operational plans of tactical commanders. Ammunition unit tactical-level operations include activities necessary to support and win in combat as well as activities that precede and follow them.
