he Joint Munitions Command (JMC), a major subordinate command of U.S. Army Materiel Command manages the production, storage, issue, and demilitarization of conventional ammunition for all U.S. military services. Headquartered at Rock Island Arsenal, Ill., JMC, serves as the Department of Defense’s (DoD) field operating agency for the Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition mission, and therefore, provides support to all branches of the U.S. military and to selected non-DoD customers as well. To meet the needs of the transformed fighting forces of the 21st century, JMC is developing and modernizing systems that will provide theater and field commanders with accurate, up-tothe-minute information on the status of munitions; make the most effective use possible of the existing ammunition stockpile; and maximize the capabilities and cost effectiveness of munitions production facilities. Through an initiative known as Centralized Ammunition Management, JMC is expanding its ability to supply combat units with the right munitions, at the right time and in the right place. JMC operates a nationwide network of installations and facilities where conventional ammunition is produced and stored. To assure the reliability, quality, and safety of the ammunition stockpile, specialists from JMC often work alongside units in the field and accompany them on deployments.
