FM 9-6 PREFACE

PREFACE This FM prescribes doctrine for munitions support. It explains in general terms how

munitions units operate and how they interact to provide munitions to the user. It is the basis for

munitions doctrine, materiel, training, and organizational development. This manual addresses munitions

unit missions, operations, and interactions between the various levels of munitions support.

FM 9-6 explains to combat arms, combat support (CS), and combat service support (CSS) commanders

and their staffs how and where they receive munitions support. It establishes guidelines and procedures

for munitions unit commanders and their staffs operating the munitions support structure.

Also, this manual introduces two very important doctrinal changes. First, it incorporates the

maneuver-oriented ammunition distribution system, palletized load system (MOADS-PLS) into the

ammunition support structure as Army doctrine. This allows for the extensive use of PLS for the

distribution of ammunition. Second is the modular ammunition platoon concept. There are two types of

modular platoons: heavy lift and medium lift. The heavy lift platoon (HLP) is best suited for port, theater

storage area (TSA), and corps storage area (CSA) operations. Medium lift platoons (MLPs) operate in

TSAs and CSAs when needed and are designed to operate ammunition supply points (ASPs). These

platoons are capable of deploying and operating independently from their company headquarters, but

require external support for sustainment. They allow the Army to effectively take advantage of

technology and the PLS. The PLS incorporates strategic and mission configured loads (MCLs). These

palletized loads are capable of being shipped to TSAs, CSAs, and ASPs. The type and number of

platoons deployed is based on mission, enemy, troops, terrain and weather, and time available (METT-T)

and the commander’s intent. Modular units provide a flexible design tailorable to the theater

commander’s intent. They give the theater commander the capability to expand and contract the

ammunition supply capability when and where needed to meet operational requirements.
