Abstract

Following a fatal accident involving foreign ammunition, LTG Pillsbury, U.S. Army Executive Director for Explosives Safety, directed BG Wyche, Commander, Joint Munitions Command, to initiate a study to identify what corrective actions need to be taken. A Work Group was established consisting of key personnel from nearly 30 different Army organizations that are connected to nonstandard ammunition. The Work Group established a Research Team to assess the scope of the issues involved. The Research Team conducted a factfinding mission to enlighten the larger Work Group of current conditions. This report to the larger Work Group is the result of that team's efforts.
