Which class covers Ammunition?

Which class covers Ammunition?

• A. Class V (5)
• B. Class VII (7)
• C. Class VI (6)
• D. Class II (2)

Answer: (A)

Ammunition is covered by Class V. In the Army’s supply system, Class V is the category that includes ammunition and explosives, such as small arms rounds, artillery ammunition, and propellants. This grouping exists because ammo and explosives require specialized handling, storage, and accountability separate from other items. Other classes cover different kinds of items—major end items and weapons fall under Class VII, repair parts under Class IX, and subsistence or clothing/equipment are in other classes—so ammunition has its own distinct category to reflect its unique supply chain and safety requirements.
