paragraph 3.13.5. Refer to supply chain materiel management procedures, processes, and
policies; and explosive safety standards within Chapter 7
3.13.4.1. Establish and maintain a chain of custody for all MPPEH, MDAS, and MDEH
through its life-cycle until transfer, expenditure, or disposal. (T-0). Utilize existing CAS
and munitions management procedures and processes in Chapter 7 to maintain a chain
of custody for these assets. (T-1). Existing physical, transactional, and informational
processes all contribute to maintaining a chain of custody.
3.13.4.2. IAW DoDI 4140.62, MPPEH will be managed and processed (e.g., sorted,
vented, inspected, segregated, secured) on the operational range or at the point of use to
minimize handling and transport prior to processing and to facilitate disposition. (T-0).
In certain circumstances, the movement of MPPEH from either the operational range or
point of use could require its management as WMM under applicable Federal or State
requirements.
3.13.4.2.1. Air Force units, organizations, and activities that generate range-related
debris are responsible for managing security, custody, inspection, and documentation
of MPPEH and MDEH from collection through its disposition or release from DoD
control as MDAS. (T-0). Air Force munitions personnel secure, manage, inspect, and
document MPPEH, MDEH, or MDAS only when it is returned to the base or
installation MSA for processing. (T-1).
3.13.4.2.2. Operational units and ranges will minimize the physical transfer of
explosive residue or munitions constituents from MPPEH during the management and
disposition process. (T-1).
3.13.4.3. Generating activities collect MPPEH, MDAS, and MDEH (e.g., scrap, waste,
and residue) and will identify assets, segregate the materiel, and determine the point at
which no further material will be added to prevent comingling. (T-0). Generated
MPPEH, MDAS, and MDEH explosive, incendiary, and chemical ammunition is
dangerous and will never be commingled with other types of property. (T-0).
3.13.4.4. Containers and holding areas to process, manage, segregate, and control
MPPEH, MDAS, and MDEH will be located in secure areas and are included in local
facility threat assessments, by Resource Protection personnel, when conducted. (T-
1). These containers and holding areas will be secured and marked as to clearly identify:
3.13.4.4.1. The hazards or potential hazards (if any) that are present. (T-0).
3.13.4.4.2. The explosives safety status of the material present. (T-0). This consists
of documentation of the processing and inspection of MDAS supported with two
independent signatures by trained and certified personnel IAW paragraph 3.13.3.
3.13.4.5. Air Force units and organizations contact DLA Disposition Services for
guidance on availability of containers for use at the source, by scrap generators.
3.13.5. Transfer or Release of MPPEH. Air Force munitions personnel will only transfer
or release MPPEH and MDEH to those DoD components, activities, and personnel that meet
the requirements for certification, licensing and permits, transportation, training, and
experience outlined in DoDI 4140.62. (T-0).
