Book Description
The U.S. Army fought World War II with materiel much of which was developed in the decade prior to our entry, particularly in the period following the German blitz in Poland. Our efforts to develop munitions to the point where our armies could cope on equal terms with those of potential enemies are covered here in this, the first of three projected volumes on the history of the Ordnance Department in World War II. How well the Ordnance Department succeeded in matching the Germans in quality continues to be a matter of debate both within the Ordnance Department itself, and between the using arms and the Department. That the battle of quantity was won-with the help of a superb industrial machine-can hardly be denied. This volume, the result of diligent research by Dr. Constance McL. Green and her associates, should interest not only military men but also scientists, industrialists, and laymen in general. Among other things, it shows the urgent necessity of a directed, continuous, and intensive research program and the danger in failing to recognize and profit by developments abroad. Also shown is the inherent time interval between the drawing board and the production of the end item in quantity."

Book Description
This United States Army policy, Army Regulation AR 700-28 Logistics: Ammunition Management October 2020, provides policy for Army peacetime and wartime allocation of class V conventional ammunition and missiles that require intensive management. It provides policy for execution of Army responsibilities for the distribution of new production and stockpiles to Army and non-Army customers as prescribed in DoDD 5160.65, which also addresses the Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition and implements appropriate portions of DoDD 5160.65. The Secretary of the Army is the Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition. That official has delegated authority to Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology). The Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology) has, in turn, delegated execution of the Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition operations to the Joint Program Executive Office Armaments and Ammunition. This regulation also implements in the Army allocation process the joint conventional ammunition policies and those of the Joint Materiel Priorities and Allocation Board. This regulation applies to the Regular Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve. It also applies to Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition elements within the Army and those activities supporting the Army's mission to all Department of Defense military Services.
Enhancing Joint Capabilities in Theater Ammunition Management

Book Description
The Commander in chief (CINC) of a U.S. unified command develops the strategies for and oversees the development of operational plans for employing and sustaining the U.S. military forces in his theater or geographic area of responsibility. Besides having operational command over his service components in both peacetime and wartime, the CINC has "directive authority" over logistics, which permits him in wartime to authorize commanders to use all facilities and logistics resources available as necessary for the accomplishment of their operational missions. The CINCs must have flexible and responsive management systems that can identify potential sustainability and supportability problems and allocate logistics resources in concert with operational plans and objectives. This report defines the data, knowledge, and analytic tools required by the CINC/Logistics Directorate (J-4) staffs in wartime and compares those requirements with the capabilities currently available or under development. The authors recommend enhanced data, knowledge, and models that would improve the CINC/J-4 staffs' ability to assess the ammunition supportability of current and planned operations.

Optimizing the Capacity and Operation of US Army Ammunition Production Facilities

Book Description
As the executive agent for ammunition, the Army manages the arsenals and plants that produce conventional ammunition for the Department of Defense. This industrial base must be able to manufacture a wide range of ammunition and ordnance items. In peacetime, the Army tests new rounds, makes training rounds, and manufactures rounds or components for war reserves, stockpile maintenance and upgrades. The Army must also manage and maintain capacity to replenish ammunition consumed by major theater wars without expanding the industrial base. The combined organic and inorganic industrial base can meet current requirements, but parts are becoming obsolete, and are expensive to operate To improve efficiency and reduce per-unit costs while maintaining strategic control of this key defense capability, the Army is seeking to reconfigure facilities, and stabilize production rates. The Army realizes that the industrial base structure has to change. This thesis provides a prototypic decision support model that captures the essence of their problem by optimizing transition actions while satisfying complicated long-term constraints on resources, management, and capacity. The model suggests yearly decisions for a planning horizon of a decade or more, and is demonstrated with 16 organic installations, structures located therein, and process centers housed in those structures.
