Appendix G 266 ATP 5-0.2-1 07 December 2020 G-60. Use ammunition management and reporting references—AR 700-19, DA PAM 700-16, DA PAM 710-2-1, AR 735-5, AR 710-2, and AR 190-11—and automated systems such as the Worldwide Ammunition Reporting System-New Technology (WARS-NT), Global Command and Control System-Army (GCCS-A), and General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS), whenever possible. If necessary, use manual forms. Ammunition Transfer Holding Point G-61. Ammunition at the tactical level is supplied to the BCT through its organic ATHP. The ATHP is established and operated by the distribution company that is organic to the BSB or aviation support battalion. The ATHP is an operation established to facilitate the receipt and transfer of all types of ammunition from echelons above brigade ammunition storage activities to units within a brigade. Under most circumstances, the ATHP is a temporary operation located in the brigade support area to facilitate rapid receipt and issuance of ammunition to users. At the ATHP, ammunition is transloaded to supported units with minimal reconfiguration or holding. G-62. Ammunition replenishment occurs in two ways: Pushed to the supported units using the BSB distribution company (preferred). Drawn from the ATHP by the FSC supporting the unit. G-63. Below the BCT, units establish temporary ammunition holding areas pending issuance to subordinate units. Ammunition holding areas guard, manage, maintain custody, and provide physical security of conventional and unconventional ammunition and munitions. CL VI G-64. Soldiers deploy with a 30-day supply of health and comfort items or the commander requests a 30- day supply of health and comfort packs (HCPs) to include in the UBL. After the first 30 days, HCPs are centrally funded and provided at 30-day intervals through CL I channels at the request of the unit commander and until Army Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) support can be established (see ATP 4-41). Health and Comfort Packs G-65. Theater commanders may authorize HCPs for outside the continental U.S. (OCONUS) contingency operational deployments in excess of 15 days. HCPs are only authorized for use at austere or remote camp or base environments where AAFES support is unavailable or cannot be readily established. HCPs provide deploying and forward area troops with routine necessities required for their health and comfort. Three types of HCPs exist: type I, II, and III. Table G-13 details some environmental considerations for planning CL VI. Table G-13. CL VI Environmental Considerations Calculation Formula: multiply the population by lbs per Soldier per day; this equals lbs required per day. Include type of health and comfort pack required for each line of request. Climate Lbs/Soldier/Day Temperate 1.10 Arctic 1.30 Tropic 1.62 Arid 1.30 G-66. Type I HCP contains articles used to supply 10 individuals for approximately 30 days. Each shipping container includes 10 prepackaged polyethylene bags with a drawstring closure containing a designated quantity of items for issuance to 10 individuals. The type I container also includes other items intended as general supply for replacement or issuance as needed, which are not stored in the bags. G-67. Type I HCP includes a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap bar, foot powder, tissues, deodorant, lip balm, sunscreen, toilet paper, eye drops, shampoo, shaving razor, shaving cream, personal hygiene body wipe, and a plastic bag.
