5. UNCLASSIFIED TAMIS CONOPS ….Customized view for each individual user TAMIS links TAADS force structure data with STRAC training strategies, new equipment training (NET) plans, and operational & test requirements to generate and manage total Army annual munitions requirements. Requirements are prioritized by HQDA and munitions authorizations are electronically passed to individual Army Commands, Direct Reporting Units and Reserve Forces. Individual units and organizations calculate requirements for training, test and known operational missions and forecast them in TAMIS. Users request and schedule pickup on-line, using their CAC to electronically process and validate each e581 request. UNCLASSIFIED

8. UNCLASSIFIED Calculating Training Ammunition Requirements • Using most current authorization documents, units validate weapons density and personnel—generate requirements from eSTRAC. • Units transmit requirements tohigher headquarters for validation. • Requirements forwarded • to DA for validation and sourcing. • DA G3 validated requirements posted in TAMIS. • As changes occur and are approved, updates are reflected in TAMIS. Notes: All requirements data is generated at the lowest possible UIC level. (Weapon) x (Weapon Strategy or Weapon Standard) x (Iterations) = Total Rounds Per Event x (Number of Soldiers/Battery/Platoons/Sections/Teams) = total munitions for Standard or total for Strategy For some munitions the Total Per Event is multiplied by Battalion or per Company to render the total requirement. UNCLASSIFIED

9. Managing and Publishing DA PAM 350-38 (eSTRAC) In coordination with Army Publishing Directorate TAMIS manages the DA PAM update and annual publication ATSC assembles approved STRAC changes from Army committees and forwards to DA for review and inclusion in annual STRAC updates Entire manual and all training strategies are managed on-line All Army users with CAC and AKO account may view DA PAM 350-38 located at the TAMIS home page UNCLASSIFIED

10. Calculating Combat Load and Sustainment Load • DA G3 establishes Army standard factors for combat load calculation. • Units modify calculation • based on mission and weapons density to produce a Sustainment Load. • Commands validate Combat Load and Sustainment Load calculations. • Units auto-generate and store CL/SL e581 in TAMIS. • Units recall or remake e581 & electronically submit to ASP. Combat Load (CL): The CL munitions requirements for a unit are calculated based on Combat Load factors approved by HQDA. Using each unit’s MTOE and the CL factors, TAMIS computes requirements for each weapon system and soldier assigned to the unit. Each unit’s CL authorization equals its approved requirements. Not all units will have a Combat Load. (For instance Combat Loads are not computed for all TDA organizations). UNCLASSIFIED

11. UNCLASSIFIED Calculating Other Munitions Requirements POI (Programs of Instruction):Requirements for POI munitions are calculated in TAMIS based on TRADOC approved Programs of instruction. Information concerning POIs that use munitions is stored in TAMIS, and requirements calculations are based on the number of classes, rounds per student, weapons systems used, and instructor requirements. Operational Load (OPLOAD):Based on reasonable and relevant plans, installation missions and events. Units calculate and submit OPLOAD munitions requirements using TAMIS. OPLOAD requirements were previously authorized under CTA 50-909, Field and Garrison Furnishings and Equipment listings and are now contained in DA Pam 350-38. Operational Project (OPROJ):A unit’s OPROJ munitions requirements are generated using the Sustainment Load editor, Operational Ammunition Scenario builder, or other method. Approved authorizations are recorded in the unit’s Operational project account. Calculations are generally based on a factor of the combat load multiplies by the weapon, system or soldier. Test requirements are based on validated and approved test plans. All Army test requirements are submitted annually to the Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC). ATEC consolidates Army wide test requirements and submits them to HQDA G-3/5/7 Munitions Management Office via TAMIS. HQDA reviews test requirements and issues Authorizations at the TA4C meeting. New Equipment Training (NET): Requirements are based on Total Army Fielding System munitions requirements or other Army Materiel Command (AMC) fielding documents. Army Program Offices or other organizations that field new equipment or munitions submit NET requirements to AMC munitions manger. Army wide NET requirements are submitted to HQDA G-3/5/7 Munitions Management Office via TAMIS. HQDA reviews NET requirements and issues authorizations at the TA4C meeting. UNCLASSIFIED

12. UNCLASSIFIED Ammunition Forecasting • Commands subauthorize munitions to subordinates. • Units plan training & forecast required munitions. • Forecasts are locked-in three months in advance. • JMC queries forecast & compares to SAAS O/H balance and ASP due- in file. Pushes difference-CAM.Units may change forecast within the lock-out period---reduce or cross level. Units require an authorization for a valid forecast. Forecasts not supported by an Authorization are invalid until the unit receives an Authorization or turns in unused munitions. Combat Load and Sustainment Load munitions are not ordinarily forecasted. OCONUS forecasting is slightly different in that the lockout period varies by command. UNCLASSIFIED

13. UNCLASSIFIED Monitoring Performance and Expenditures • Analytical tools assist munitions managers effectively manage authorizations • TAMIS reports—Capability available to all TAMIS users to view results. • Dundas—Viewed at login to TAMIS. Provides a quick snapshot of organization’s munitions status and alerts based on login level. • Microsoft Business Intelligence—Selected users have access to enhanced reports and analytical tools; Capability to schedule automatic delivery of specialized reports: daily, monthly or weekly.

15. TAMIS Advisory Group (TAG) • The TAG has advisory authority for steering the direction of TAMIS functionality, general operating guidelines, and prioritizing requirements. • The TAG operates under the control of the HQDA DCS, G37/TRA. • TAG Charter: • Represents an agreement among TAG members on how the group will introduce, review, validate and prioritize TAMIS engineering changes and system priorities outlined in the TAMIS Acquisition Strategy. • Defines individual roles, responsibilities, and operating rules. It also establishes procedures for managing, tracking, and implementing TAMIS engineering changes and priorities. • The TAG meets semi-annually or as necessary, usually in conjunction with an already scheduled munitions work group, council of colonels or munitions meeting.
