FM 9-47 1-3. Special Ammunition Supply System Characteristics Special ammunition service is unique or peculiar in the following major respects: a. It is national policy that very stringent controls be placed upon the use of special ammunition. Every action to supply special ammunition to any source in a theater of operations—whether it be the placing of rounds in a special ammunition storage facility, the establishment of a special ammunition load for a firing unit, or the replenishment of special ammunition stockage— requires that a command decision be made to tactical channels. b. Security measures must be applied to all phases of requisition, receipt, storage, and shipment of special ammunition. Physical security must be provided wherever stocks are handled.
