Ammo Components, All Types

The budget line item for Ammo Components, All Types aims to support the procurement of ammunition components for the Army. This includes funding for the renovation of unserviceable training and combat ammunition to bring it back to serviceable condition at a lower cost compared to procuring new ammunition. The budget also supports testing efforts at the Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) at Aberdeen and Yuma Test Centers, including special tests, first article tests, renovation of field stocks, and proof acceptance testing for training and combat ammunition. The specific objectives include cost analysis to ensure renovation efforts result in cost savings, as well as the replacement and procurement of worn weapon components during testing and continued support for production acceptance tests.
