What does a Munitions Movement Order (MMO) authorize?

A Munitions Movement Order (MMO) specifically authorizes the transfer or movement of munitions between locations. This type of order is crucial for maintaining the logistics and supply chain of munitions within the military. It ensures that munitions are moved safely and efficiently, adhering to regulatory requirements for handling, security, and transportation. By issuing an MMO, appropriate protocols and accountability measures are established, which helps prevent unauthorized handling or transportation of munitions.

This focus on authorized movement ensures that both operational readiness and safety standards are maintained during the transfer processes. The MMO is not designed for destruction, storage, or repair, as those activities fall under different regulatory frameworks and procedures within military logistics and munitions management.
