Physical Security of Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives

AR 190-11 sets the physical security standards for arms, ammunition, and explosives: storage, arms room construction, key and lock control, and inventory requirements. Arms room operations and unit AA&E inspections trace back to this regulation. Some content is controlled, so work from your installation provost marshal's guidance as well.

Munitions Operations

ATP 4-35 covers ammunition support operations: how munitions are requested, stored, distributed, and accounted for in theater. It is the reference for ammunition supply points and unit ammunition handling. The January 2023 edition supersedes the September 2014 version and shortened the title to Munitions Operations.

Rifle and Carbine

TC 3-22.9 is the marksmanship publication for the M4- and M16-series weapons: how the weapon works, the functional elements of the shot process, and the training and qualification strategy. The posted file is the May 2016 basic publication incorporating changes 1 through 3, so work from the current file rather than a saved copy.

Running a range

How a range gets from a request to a closeout, the appointments and controls that have to be in place, and where the actual requirements come from.

What is a sensitive item, and why is it inventoried differently?

A sensitive item is property that requires a high degree of protection and control because of its potential for harm or its attractiveness for theft. Weapons, ammunition, explosives, night vision devices, communications security equipment, and controlled drugs are typical examples. They are counted by serial number on a recurring basis, and a missing sensitive item is reported immediately rather than at the next inventory.

Which inventories does AR 710-2 require of a unit?

A joint inventory when the primary hand receipt holder changes, which is a one hundred percent inventory conducted by the incoming and outgoing holders together. A cyclic or annual inventory of property book items. A recurring inventory of sensitive items. Weapons and ammunition are inventoried under AR 190-11, which is more demanding, and commanders routinely direct more frequent counts than the minimum.
