CONVENTIONAL AMMUNITION
INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Describe the func-
tions and state the purpose of the Conventional
Ammunition Integrated Manage- ment System
(CAIMS).
The
Conventional
Ammunition
Integrated
Management System (CAIMS) is a management tool
for all echelons of the Navy that relate assets to
requirements and to inventory managers for item
decision-making purposes. The Naval Ammunition
Logistics
Center
(NAVAMMOLOGCEN)
in
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania maintains the CAIMS
ammunition stock status file. Pertinent data is extracted
from this file for distribution to interested fleet and area
commanders. The CAIMS ammunition stock status file
is not automatically distributed to commands. It is
available and may be requested by individual com-
mands through normal chain-of-command procedures.
The CAIMS ammunition stock status file provides the
following data:
1.
Date of the last transaction report
2.
Monthly and cumulative (to date this fiscal
year) expenditures by ammunition type, as
listed below:
a.
Combat
b.
Training
c.
Test/evaluation
d.
Non-combat operations
e.
Disposal
f.
Loss by inventory
g.
Out of system transfers
3.
Quantity on hand
a.
Serviceable
b.
Unserviceable/suspended
4.
Allowance
5.
Percent of allowance on board
The
foregoing
data
is
provided
by
Navy
Ammunition Logistics Code (NALC), Department of
Defense Identification Code (DODIC), or by activity
(listing the NALCs/DODICs carried by each activity).
The accuracy of CAIMS relates to the ammunition
actually on hand at your command. Therefore, you
must accurately report all receipts, issues, Condition
code changes, and inventory adjustments. Currently,
Navy
activities
report
to
CAIMS
by
two
methodstransaction
item
reports
(TIRs)
and
ammunition transaction reports (ATRs). TIRs are
transceived daily by activities that use automated
information systems. ATRs are submitted by fleet
activities via naval messages.
For further information on the CAIMS system, refer to
NAVSUP P-724, Chap 9.
AMMUNITION REQUISITIONING
AND TURN-IN PROCEDURES
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Use the terms and
definitions
associated
with
ammunition
requisitioning and turn-in; describe the
procedures to be followed when preparing
requisition documents; identify the variables
that affect requisitioning by fleet units; and
describe file maintenance procedures, turn-in
procedures,
and
temporary
custody
of
ordnance ashore.
The military standard requisitioning and issue
procedures (MILSTRIP) are used for ordering all
ordnance.
MILSTRIP/MILSTRAP
Manual,
NAV-
SUP P-437, and Afloat Supply Procedures Manual,
NAVSUP
P-485,
provide
complete
MILSTRIP
procedures. Each fleet commander (CINCLANTFLT
and CINCPACFLT) issues instructions that provide
detailed guidance for requisition and turn-in of
ammunition within their jurisdiction. The information
and procedures in both instructions are basically the
same. For simplicity, the information in this chapter
pertains to units within the Atlantic Fleet and European
areas.
TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Because you work with ordnance, you need to be
familiar with ammunition terms and definitions. Some
terms are discussed in more detail later in this chapter.
The
following
terms
and
definitions
are
used
throughout this chapter:
