f.     Marine   Air   Ground   Task   Force   (MAGTF) Deployment  Support  System  II  (MADSS-II) for ground ammunition movement tracking. For further information on the ROLMS system, refer to NAVSUP P-724, Chap 9. 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 methods—transaction 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: 17-2
