All-Up-Round (AUR). An AUR is a weapon that is
issued as a complete assembly (less wings and fins).
Ammunition. Ammunition is conventional ex-
pendable ordnance material, which includes gun-
type ammunition, bombs, rockets, ASW weapons,
guided missiles, mines, torpedoes, demolition, and
pyrotechnic
materials.
For
the
purpose
of
this
discussion, ammunition includes all items assigned a
four-digit NALC as listed in the publication Navy
Ammunition Logistics Codes, NAVAIR 11-1-116B/
TW010-AA-ORD-030.
This
also
includes
OT-
cognizance
material
(Marine
Corps
expendable
ordnance).
Ammunition allowances. Ammunition allowances
are established to maintain operational units in a
mission-ready
posture.
The
different
types
and
quantities of ammunition a unit is allowed to carry
depend upon the unit's mission assignment. Also, a
unit's ammunition allowance reflects allowances for
training, peacetime missions, and wartime missions.
The
Chief
of
Naval
Operations
approves
ammunition allowance lists. Ammunition stocking
level lists identifies the type and quantity of combat
ordnance authorized to be carried on board. Separate
cargo and/or mission load ammunition allowance lists
are provided for combat landing force (CLF) ships,
amphibious force ships, tenders and aircraft carriers,
which are developed by the fleet and type commanders.
These lists identify the ordnance authorized to support
the mission assignment. A few of the ammunition
allowances are described in the following statements.
Approved
basic
stock
level
of
ammunition
(ABSLA) is the quantity of non-nuclear ordnance at a
shore facility to support all aspects of that activity's
mission until resupply can be effected.
Cargo
load
allowance
is
the
allowance
of
ammunition carried by AE, AOE, AOR, and AO class
ships. This ammunition is issued to other fleet units in
support of their assigned mission.
Mission load allowance is the allowance of
ammunition carried by CV, LPH, AD, and AS class
ships in support of their assigned mission, exclusive of
the ships own armament.
Shipfill
allowance
(formerly
ship's
service
allowance) is the allowance of ammunition for the ships
permanently installed armament. Shipfill ammunition
does not include ammunition held for issue to other
activities.
Changes to the shipfill allowance list require prior
approval of the Chief of Naval Operations. A proposed
change should be submitted by letter from the ship
concerned through the normal chain of command.
Changes to the cargo or mission load allowance lists
require prior approval of CINCLANTFLT. Proposed
changes to the cargo or mission load allowance lists
should be submitted to CINCLANTFLT through the
normal chain of command.
Check-sum-digit. The check-sum-digit is the last
digit in a sum of numbers. It is entered after a slant mark
(/) immediately following the number being checked.
For example, in the entry E487 (4+8+7=19), 9 are the
check-sum-digit. The entry is written as E487/9. The
check-sum-digit provides Naval Ammunition Logistics
Center with a check and balance to ensure that the
proper NALC is entered on DD Form 1345, register
four.
Cognizance symbol (COG).
The
cognizance
symbol is a two-digit NSN prefix that identifies the
systems command, office, agency, or inventory control
point exercising supply management for a specific
category of ammunition. For example, in NSN
2E1425-00-940-1347-E075, the two-digit symbol 2E is
the COG. (Refer to fig. 17-1.) COG symbols are listed
in NAVAIR 11-1-116B/TW010-AA-ORD-030.
Complete round. A complete round is one that is or
can be assembled from any acceptable combination of
components. It is capable of being used operationally
without the performance of work on the round other
than normal assembly operations.
Department
of
Defense
Ammunition
Code
(DODAC). The Department of Defense Ammunition
Code (DODAC) is made up of the federal supply class
(FSC) plus the DODIC or NALC. For example, in NSN
2E1425-00-940-1347-E075, the DODAC is 1425E075.
