Perspective (PERI) Personnel: Vast array of “A&E Practitioners”: Ammunition Technical Officers (ATOs), Explosive Engineers (EEs), Ammunition Technicians (ATs), Civilian Ammunition Technicians (CATs); AWTs, NWTs, EOD Operators, Civilian Contractors, Allies (military and Civilian) Supply Management Equipment Ammunition is about half of DND’s $6B inventory –Over 40% of the GoC total inventory holdings –12% of Net Value of all DND/CF non-infrastructure materiel assets (capital assets + inventory) Annual procurement of ammo and explosives involves expenditure over $140 (significant reductions in the past years) –Much of it under MSP, which is strategically important to Canada Readiness (through Governance): The program has been restructured multiple times –Until recently managed in a highly decentralized framework, guided by the « Ammunition Board » –Ammo Program crossed Strategic, Operational and Tactical responsibilities across L1, L2 and L3 HQs – Critical Mass versus Organizational Depth –L1 ATA function resided in L3 HQ with minimal / ineffective influence on L1 planning Infrastructure: Roughly 350 licensed 3rd and 2nd line Ammunition facilities at 28 locations for storage and supporting activities including workshops, transit, hardstand and laboratories, distributed across Canada Weakness in management of DND’s ammo program therefore has a significant impact on: CF operations and readiness Defence industrial capabilities Canada’s Public Accounts 2

3 The Challenge Notwithstanding overall success in supporting ops, governance review identified multiple problems: – Inability to coherently address inventory data currency and accuracy problems, and Horizon 2 and 3 planning requirements, affecting ops and public accounts – Basis for requirements unclear and not well aligned with readiness management, meaning uncertain justification for expenditures – No strategic planning of stockpile positioning and distribution – No strategic planning design for infrastructure – Poor integration of business systems driving up business costs, which resulted in customized ammo-unique solutions – Overlaps, gaps and uncertainty in authorities, responsibilities and accountabilities (ARA) hindering decision making and leaving critical gaps (e.g. demilitarization) – Lack of strategic level performance and risk management reporting on the program – Ad Hoc specialist personnel selection, training and professional development (force generation), as well as retention and leadership development problems. – Terms of reference of the ammunition board (AB) do not provide authority to make strategic decisions and execute the program – Issues tabled at the board were mostly at the tactical and operational level and were not linked to program outputs and outcomes Governance and Integration Inventory Management Warehousing and Distribution Requirements Determination Support Capabilities (PERI) Demand – Allocn Reconciliation
