Which class covers ammunition?

Which class covers ammunition?

• A. Class V Supply
• B. Class I of supply
• C. Class VII Supply
• D. Class VIII Supply

Answer: (A)

Ammunition is grouped with munitions because its primary purpose is to support weapons in operations, requiring specialized handling, secure storage, and strict accountability. In the Army supply system, items are sorted by use: subsistence is Class I, clothing and equipment are Class II, fuel is Class III, construction materials are Class IV, ammunition is Class V, personal items are Class VI, major end items like vehicles are Class VII, medical materiel is Class VIII, repair parts are Class IX, and materiel to support nonmilitary programs is Class X. Since ammunition is the essential consumable for weapons, it naturally fits with Class V.
