Resource Commodity Areas

I.20. Areas of resource commodities

I.21. Ammunition

Training Ammunition Managers (TAM) act as the single POC to receive training ammunition authorizations from HQ TRADOC. TAM sub-authorize to the supported TRADOC activities using the Total Ammunition Management Information System (TAMIS) and to request authorization changes as needed. The TRAS provides planning data for determining training ammunition requirements for all institutional training in TRADOC. Under TRAS, the ammunition resource requirements are supported by ITP, CAD, or POI.

The ITP describes long range plans for individual training programs. Typically submitted three-to-five years prior to course implementation and identifies the estimated ammunition resources required in a Training Ammunition Summary format. Figure 3 -1 shows an example of a Training Ammunition Summary. This information will provide TAM with long range ammunition requirements.

(1) POI are submitted not less than one year prior to course implementation date. The POI determines short range requirements and provides a list of all ammunition resources necessary to support the resident training program. This information is pivotal to determining accurate current year requirements. Only TRADOC validated POI can be used to compute training ammunition requirements.

(2) CAD are submitted 3 years prior to training implementation date. A CAD can be, but is not required to be, used to provide an estimate of ammunition requirements. This estimate should be submitted with the CAD in an ammunition summary format of a POI.

TAM must coordinate closely with course developers and schedulers to identify valid and current student input figures; modify the scheduled student fill by historical "no show" rates; and develop attrition factors to determine actual training ammunition forecasts.

I.22. Manpower

Manpower requirements for several training functions are determined annually through the application of Manpower Staffing Standards System or other staffing models. These applications generally follow the programming of student learning requirements as part of the SMDR process. Manpower staffing models establish requirements only and do not produce authorizations or dollars; these resources are distributed at HQDA, TRADOC, and center of excellence (CoE) levels through separate processes. Staffing models are currently applied for the following training functions:

Instructors/facilitators. Manpower requirements for initial entry training (IET) student companies are determined based on SMDR programmed trainee loads and standardized company sizes. These applications include requirements for IET drill sergeants and platoon sergeants.

Structure. Manpower requirements for IET student companies are determined based on SMDR programmed trainee loads and standardized company sizes. These applications include requirements for IET drill sergeants and platoon sergeants.

Direct Support to the Training Event (DSTE). DSTE manpower requirements are computed based on programmed students and POI identified field training days. A commandant approved POI must be available for HQ TRADOC to validate, establish, or change DSTE requirements. All POI submissions with DSTE workload should include data specified in enclosure 3 of HQ TRADOC memorandum, ATRM-FMD, 1 Apr 10, subject: Direct Support to the Training Event (DSTE) Model Implementation Guidance.

(1) No standard organization exists for DSTE. Support personnel reside primarily within the training structure. The DSTE model does not establish additional structure, overhead, supervision, command, or control for personnel performing POI support.

(2) Currently there is no formula for estimating DSTE based on observance for new or revised courses. For new courses, use a similar existing course to estimate DSTE.

(3) When estimating DSTE, CoE must identify the POI used as the basis for such requests.
