Munitions Process Support Services

The United States Marine Corps (USMC), as required by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), quantifies munitions requirements in accordance with DoD Instruction 3000.04, Department of Defense Munitions Requirements Process (DoD MRP). DoD Instruction 3000.04 establishes policy, assigns responsibilities, and prescribes procedures for generating, developing, and disseminating DoD MRP products. It is DoD policy to establish a Total Munitions Requirement (TMR), with guidance from Secretary of Defense Memorandum, "Guidance for the Development of the Force (GDF)", Secretary of Defense Memorandum, "Guidance for the Employment of the Force (GEF)", and Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (USD (AT&L)) Memorandum, "DoD MRP Implementation Guidance (DoD MRP IG)" that arm military forces to perform their assigned military missions. Additionally, it is incumbent upon the Services to ensure that munitions requirements developed are visible, accessible, and understandable to the rest of the Department (except where limited by law, policy, or security classification).

The USMC, through the Marine Corps Munitions Requirements Process (MCMRP), determines the USMC's munitions inventory requirements. The purpose of the MCMRP process is to develop Class V(W) munitions requirements for USMC ground forces in accordance with the DoD MRP. The requirements are used to develop munitions procurement and maintenance plans and justification of budget requests in the Service’s Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution process (PPBE).
