Ammunition consumption is determined by computing ammunition requirements versus capabilities. The goal of ammunition consumption calculation is to determine a viable stockage objective for tactical ASAs, thereby avoiding stockpiling in forward locations while efficiently rearming the force. C-21. A stockage objective is the quantity of munitions required to ensure that all training and operations in a theater can be conducted until resupply occurs. Properly calculating and adhering to stockage objectives enables freedom of action, reduces the hazards of stockpiling and economizes limited resources. C-22. Planning factors required for determining ammunition consumption include the ammunition basic load, daily estimated expenditure rate or required supply rate, and resupply capability or controlled supply rate in the context of the proposed or ongoing operation and operational timeframe. C-23. The estimated daily expenditure rate for the operation (the required supply rate) is subtracted from the projected resupply capability expressed as a controlled supply rate. The on-hand balance is added to the result to determine the projected balance. This calculation is utilized to determine if the controlled supply rate can meet the required supply rate. Any delta to this result that cannot be met will require resolution before the start of operations. Balance + (Resupply [controlled supply rate] – Expenditure [required supply rate]) = Projected Balance.
