Any action that affects the on-hand quantity of your command's reportable assets (such as issues, receipts, expenditures, or inventory losses or gains) are reported on the ammunition transaction report (ATR). The method of processing ATR information into the CAIMS requires that all pertinent instructions be followed exactly.

The CAIMS is the only authorized sole source of asset and expenditure information used by the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and the fleet commanders-in-chief for the logistical management of ammunition. If the ATR information is not accurate, the information received by higher-echelon commands will not be accurate, and procurement and maintenance funding may be jeopardized. It is also the sole source of information used for the execution of operational plans (OPLANs) and operational orders (OPORDs).

Without accurate and prompt reporting by individual operating units and shore activities, procurement and maintenance funding will be severely hampered. The high cost and limited availability of ammunition requires all commands to provide continuous, intensive, and careful management of assets.

All transaction reporting must follow the procedures in SPCCINST 8010. 12; and Conventional Ordnance Management Manual, CINCPACFLT/ CINCLANTFLTINST 8010.12. The COMOMAG; the COMINEWARCOM; and the Officer-in-Charge, NAVMINEWARENGACT should be addressed for information purposes on all transaction reports.
