AMMUNITION LOT/LOCATION CARD

The Ammunition Lot/Location Card, NAVSUP Form 1297 (green), is used to record lot numbers and stowage locations of items. This card is used with the Ammunition Master Stock Record Card and should be filed by NALC behind each Ammunition Master Stock Record Card.

Nearly all items of ordnance are assigned a lot number and are lot controlled. However, it is not always practical to place every item under lot control; for example, practice bombs or general-purpose bombs. These items are used in such large quantities that it is impractical to record the lot number for each item expended. However, when these items are received, the lot numbers should be recorded on an Ammunition Lot/Location Card for information purposes.

Cartridges, cartridge-actuated devices, rocket motors, and small arms ammunition require close lot control. The total number of each item should be recorded on an Ammunition Lot/Location Card by lot number and stowage location. When items are issued, expended, or reclassified, the entry on the Ammunition Lot/Location Card must reflect the quantity by lot number and from which stowage location they were removed.

The Ammunition Lot/Location Card, shown in figure 17-22, is very similar to the Ammunition Master Stock Record Card in format. Therefore, preparation of the Ammunition Lot/Location Card is not discussed in detail.

AMMUNITION SERIAL/LOCATION CARD

The Ammunition Serial/Location Card (fig. 17-23) will be used for all items for which serial control is required (Material Control code C-serial controlled, E-serial and lot controlled). These cards will be filed by NSN with the corresponding Ammunition Master Stock Record Card. One Ammunition Serial/Location Card will be maintained for each torpedo; assembled air-launched missile (ALM), as well as selected components; and surface missile (SMS). The serial number of the leading serialized component will be reported regardless of the missile configuration. The leading serialized components for these items can be found in OPNAWNST 8010.12, chapter 8, section 5, appendix A.

STANDARDIZED CONVENTIONAL AMMUNITION AUTOMATED INVENTORY RECORD (SCAAIR)

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify the purpose, components, and operating system for SCAAIR.

The SCAAIR system is used to manage and report ordnance to CAIMS and to the Marine Ammunition Automated Reporting System (MAARS). The NAVORDCEN (N341) is the SCAAIR resource

sponsor. Program management and project management resides with NAVSURFWARCEN, Cane Division, Crane, Indiana.

The SCAAIR system uses the Microsoft Foxbase+ Data Base Management System. The SCAAIR system requires an IBM-PC, or compatible, with a 10- to 20-megabyte hard disk, one 5-1/4-inch floppy disk drive, and 640K bytes of random access memory. The system can perform the following tasks:

Requisitioning

Transaction Reporting
