ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL, Ill. —Joint Munitions Command headquarters personnel and Department of Defense partners met for the bi-annual Requirements, Army Working Capital Fund, Mission Planning meeting in late August to discuss projected production, storage, distribution, and demilitarization requirements.
The August 2022 RAMP session was hosted by the JMC planning director, Katie Crotty, and ammunition experts from all mission areas across the staff. Jay Carr, executive director, Ammunition, and deputy to the commander, joined his fellow senior leader attendees, which included senior representatives from joint program executive offices, U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, U.S. Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command, other DoD services, and commanders from JMC 's Organic Industrial Base installations. Carr emphasized the importance of the maintaining sustainment levels of workload and communicating future requirements to ensure JMC maintains critical capabilities and is focusing on the right modernization efforts as requirements evolve.
"This session allows us to make contacts, build relationships, and is a critical tool to help us facilitate conversation that helps us understand ammunition requirements – resulting in accurate planning, funding, and execution throughout ammo areas of production, storage and distribution, and demilitarization, " said Nathan Hawley, director, Munitions Logistics Readiness Center.
The meeting consisted of individual breakout sessions for each installation commander and relevant subject matter experts to discuss ammunition requirements and ensure that installation schedules are synchronized for future years.
Meeting with customers that own the requirements and the JMC OIB commanders is critical to distributing and managing workload across JMC’s installations. This allows JMC to set conditions for each installation based on capabilities, as well as ensuring on-time delivery to the Joint Warfighter for both training and go-to war munitions, every time.
JMC manages Army plants that produce millions of ammunition rounds annually and Army depots and arsenals that store and distribute the nation's ammunition for training and combat. JMC is accountable for billions of dollars of munitions and missiles. To learn more about JMC, visit www.jmc.army.mil.
