What happens to a request for ammunition in TAMIS once it is submitted?

When a request for ammunition is submitted in the ammunition tracking system (TAMIS), it does not automatically increase the originally authorized amount. Instead, the request goes through a defined process. The key aspect of this process is that the request needs to be reviewed and approved before any adjustments are made to the authorized quantities.

Typically, once submitted, the request may be evaluated by the appropriate authority, which could involve either local command review or escalation to higher command levels if needed. This ensures that all ammunition requests are justified and align with operational needs. As such, the correct understanding of what happens after submission highlights the need for oversight and validation rather than an automatic increase or change in status.
