Munitions Migraine

Abstract

A major area of interest in Security Assistance as it relates to the transfer of defense articles to friendly foreign nations is the procedures and problems associated with the transportation of munitions. This article will attempt to highlight some of those procedures and problems and will illustrate events by addressing actual situations. The material for this, article was gathered from existing procedural requirements and from discussions with personnel stationed at Little Rock AFB, Arkansas, and personnel from the United States Army Armament Materiel Readiness Command (ARRCOM), Rock Island, Illinois. Although there are other modes of shipment, the article limits attention to concerns associated with the airlift of munitions.
