Department of Defense Identification Code (DODIC)

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 ship’s 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.
