manual. This person is normally the ordnance handling officer. Turn-In of Ammunition Details Ammunition details are devices designed to protect explosives and/or facilitate their handling. They include boxes, containers, pallets and accessories, protective caps, tanks, and brass and steel cartridge cases. Many of these items are expensive to procure. It is essential for ammunition users and support activities to cooperate by ensuring these ammunition details are returned for reuse. NOCINST 8010.2 (series), chapter IV, sections 1 and 2, lists the details and cartridge cases that must be returned. Ships and shore activities outside CONUS that make ammunition expenditures must retain all serviceable or repairable details and, at the earliest opportunity, initiate their shipment to the consignee listed in NOCINST 8010.2. Ammunition details and cartridge cases that are unserviceable or unrepairable should be turned in to the nearest property disposal office as saleable scrap. Each shipment of ammunition details must be accompanied by a DOD Single-Line Release/Receipt Document, DD Form 1348-1, and prepared as follows: DATA BLOCKS 23 AND 24. Enter GP.2. DATA BLOCKS 25 THROUGH 29. Enter 00001. DATA BLOCKS 30 THROUGH 43. Enter the document number. DATABLOCK A. Enter the Service code, UIC, and the name of the activity turning in the material. DATA BLOCK B. Enter the Service code, UIC, and name of the ultimate consignee, if known. DATA BLOCKS U AND V. Enter SHIP TO CONUS AMMO STOCK POINT when the ultimate consignee is unknown. DATA BLOCK X. Enter AMMO INERT ITEMS. DATA BLOCK 2. Enter MC. DATA BLOCK 5. Enter the number of containers. DATA BLOCK 11. Enter Service code, UIC, name, and hull number of the ship/activity where the material will be turned in (when not the final destination). DATA BLOCK FF. Enter CERTIFIED TO BE INERT. DATA BLOCK GG. Enter APPROVED FOR TRANSFER. TEMPORARY STORAGE AND CUSTODY ASHORE Ships occasionally need to off-load ammunition for temporary storage and custody ashore. When this is necessary, the authority to off-load ammunition for temporary storage and custody ashore must be obtained from both the ship’s type commander and from the activity where the material will be stored. The number of days of temporary storage must be stated, not to exceed a maximum of 45 days. If more than the maximum period is desired, an extension may be requested from the type commander. For transaction reporting and inventory control purposes, ammunition in temporary custody ashore is considered aboard the ship and is carried on the ship’s stock records. Therefore, personnel aboard ship do not submit an off-loading transaction report. Consequently, a receiving transaction report is not submitted when the ammunition is physically returned. In the recent past, confusion has resulted when personnel aboard ship forgot certain items were in temporary custody ashore. Personnel aboard ship must ensure stock record cards are carefully annotated to reflect items in temporary custody ashore. The activity storing the material must keep all ammunition in temporary custody physically separate. This is necessary because the ammunition is not recorded on the activity’s stock records as assets ashore. Rework or maintenance is not done on items temporarily stored ashore nor is unserviceable material replaced. The material is returned to the ship exactly as it was received for temporary custody ashore. In summary, the primary advantage of temporary storage and custody ashore is that a ship retains its assets. Personnel aboard the ship do not have to reorder and run the risk of not getting everything ordered. The disadvantages are that items can be forgotten and subsequently lost, or items can become suspended/ unserviceable and require last-minute replacement. REVIEW NUMBER 2 Q1.
