The Inventory Management Branch is responsible for executing the Marine Corps Class V(W) Inventory Control Point mission.  They execute the strategic phase of the supply chain, which extends from procurement receipt into the inventory through issue, consumption and/or disposal/demilitarization.  This includes processing and tracking Class V(W) ammunition demands in support of Marine Corps world-wide training and war reserve requirements, developing and administering inter-service support agreements for Class V(W) Common-Item-Support with other services, and collaborating with the other functional teams within the ammunition logistics community.

The Plans and Analysis Branch is comprised of two sections.  The Plans section provides seamless Class V(W) munitions planning and sustainment coordination and support across the logistics enterprise for the Fleet Marine Force and Marine Corps-led Joint Task Forces.  They also support all prepositioning programs, both ashore and afloat.  The Analysis section facilitates the Ammunition Logistics Focus Team (ALFT) and Class V(W) ground ammunition Inventory Accuracy/Accountability policy and oversight responsibilities.

The Ammunition Acquisition and Operations Team provides the other Teams and Branches with general program operations, acquisition support, configuration management, risk management, and information technology support.  Additionally, they collaborate with the other services in areas such as ammunition-related additive manufacturing and research and development (R&D) projects.
