Requisitions for 2T COG material should be
submitted to the naval weapons station closest to the
units homeport or to the weapons station designated for
the loadout.
Requisitions for 4T COG torpedo components
and ASROC components should be submitted to
NAVORDCEN, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
Requisitions for 6T COG material should be
submitted to the Mine Warfare Engineering Activity
(MINEWARENGACT), Yorktown, Virginia.
Requisitions for the following material must be
requisitioned by naval message in the format previously
discussed and submitted as follows:
Requisitions for 2E COG aircrew escape
propulsion system (AEPS) devices should be submitted
to NAVORDCEN, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania,
according to NAVORDCENINST 8010.2 (series).
Requisitions for all 8E COG air-launch missiles,
Harpoon missiles, Seasparrow missiles, 8T COG
surface-launch missiles, and complete-round torpedoes
require special requisitioning procedures, which are
discussed later in this chapter.
When ships or units are deployed in the Atlantic
Fleet or the Pacific Fleet, ammunition requisitions are
submitted by naval message to the appropriate type
commander or the applicable inventory manager.
Instructions are available within each command to
provide you with guidelines for properly submitting
ammunition requisitions.
Requisition Lead Time
A maximum and minimum lead time has been
established to provide sufficient time for submission
and processing of ammunition requisitions. Lead time
allows for adequate processing time of requisitions so
mission requirements can be met on schedule. In
addition, materials are not reserved too far in advance
of requirements.
ROUTINE REQUISITIONS. A maximum of
60 days and a minimum of 25 days should be allowed
for routine requisitions incident to allowance re-
plenishment, scheduled training, or deployment loadout.
CADS AND AEPS DEVICES. All requisitions
for CADS and AEPS devices should have a 90-day lead
time.
CV COMPLETE DEPLOYMENT LOAD-
OUT. Because of the large quantity of ordnance
involved, complete loadout requisitions for aircraft
carriers must allow a maximum of 60 days and a
minimum of 45 days lead time. When the ship is to be
loaded pierside, requisitions should be submitted by
using a DODAC in card columns 8 through 15 of DD
Form 1348. When an aircraft carrier is scheduled to
receive a deployment loadout by an ammunition cargo
ship, the following actions should be taken
Personnel aboard the assigned AE/AOE cargo
ship send a message to personnel aboard the aircraft
carrier advising them of the serviceable assets available
in the cargo ship 65 to 55 days in advance of the cargo
ships scheduled onload date.
The personnel aboard the aircraft carrier submit
MILSTRIP requisitions by message for all items and
quantities required but not available in the assigned
cargo ship 55 to 45 days in advance of the cargo ships
scheduled onload date. Information copies of
MILSTRIP requisitions are provided to personnel
aboard the cargo ship. The supplementary address of
the requisitions is the UIC of the loading activity. The
RDD is the date that the loadout of the cargo ship
commences. The remarks section of the requisitions
contain DLVR (deliver) TO USS (the name of the cargo
ship) FFT (for further transfer) USS (CV to receive the
material).
At the same time the requisitions are submitted, the
CV advises the cargo ship of the items and quantities
required from the serviceable assets available in the
cargo ship. The cargo ship then reserves these assets for
the CV.
Requisitioning Procedures for Aircraft Squadrons
Aircraft squadrons ashore in CONUS submit require-
ments for all items to the supporting air station where
the material will be loaded or expended. For example,
a VF squadron located at NAS Oceana, Virginia, that
needs ordnance for local training should submit its
requirements to the weapons department as NAS
Oceana, Virginia. A VA squadron located at NAS Cecil
Field, Florida, that needs training ordnance at NAVSTA
Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, should submit its require-
ments to the weapons department at NAVSTA Roosevelt
Roads. An aircraft squadron ashore outside CONUS
submits all requirements to their supporting air station.
Aircraft squadrons or squadron detachments afloat
submit requirements to the ships weapons department
according to current ships instructions. Aircraft
squadron support activities should first attempt to
satisfy the squadrons requirements from on-hand assets
(items already in stock). For those requirements that
cannot be satisfied from on-hand assets, the support
