CMA ISSUES
ISSUES PROCEDURES
Unit issues arrival time is between 0730 and 1000. Supported unit Ammunition Technicians/Handlers must check in with the vehicle inspector upon arrival at the ASP. Units arriving at the ASP after 1000 will have the Issue assessed by the Operations Chief and/or RSSI Chief to determine whether the issue can be processed before 1300 on the same day. If the issue cannot be completed by 1300, the supported unit will be required to pick-up the request on the next business day.
Units must make every effort to arrive by 1000.
Requests to receive ammo outside of this time window must be coordinated with CMA Operations before the e581 will be accepted in Total Ammunition Management Information System (TAMIS). Units failing to arrive before 1000 will have their respective MSC contacted. Units that have not arrived within 30 minutes of their requested pickup time on their TAMIS request, will receive a discrepancy report (DISREP).
