Who is responsible for inspecting and inventorying live ammunition during turn-in?

The responsibility for inspecting and inventorying live ammunition during turn-in primarily falls to the Range Ammunition NCO. This individual is specifically trained and designated to manage the handling and accountability of ammunition. Their role involves ensuring that all ammunition turned in is properly accounted for, inspected for condition, and documented according to established protocols.

The Range Ammunition NCO is familiar with the regulations and standard operating procedures related to ammunition and understands the importance of maintaining accurate records throughout the turn-in process. This ensures not only the safety of personnel but also the compliance with regulations regarding ammunition custody.

While other roles, such as the Unit Commander, Logistics Officer, and Ammunition Supply Point Officer have important functions within the overarching framework of ammunition management, they do not typically perform the day-to-day tasks of inspecting and inventorying ammunition during the turn-in process. Their responsibilities may include oversight, strategic planning, or administrative tasks, but the direct oversight of live ammunition inspections is specifically designated to the Range Ammunition NCO.
