Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Munitions Transformation:
1.1.1. The Air Force munitions community operates in an environment that fosters
Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) to continuously focus on logistics and maintenance
transformation.
1.1.2. Transformation of munitions processes and policy is a continuous and iterative effort.
The Air Force Maintenance Executive Board (AFMEB) serves as the executive body to
address enterprise issues through Enterprise Logistics Governance (ELG) process.
1.2. Deviations and Waivers. Units shall notify the MAJCOM and info the Lead MAJCOM
and parent Numbered Air Force (NAF) of conflicts in guidance and submit technical
improvement reports when appropriate. MAJCOMs provide direction for small and unique
organizations when resource or contract limitations prevent compliance with this AFI. See AFI
21-200, Munitions and Missile Maintenance Management for guidance on small and unique
organizations.
1.2.1. Deviations are permanent departures from standards and do not require periodic
resubmission. MAJCOMs will validate all approved deviations annually.
1.2.2. Waivers provide a temporary grace period for units unable to immediately comply
with existing guidance. Waivers must be resubmitted annually for re-approval.
1.2.3. Unless specific exception is provided in this instruction, IAW AFI 33-360, submit
waiver and deviation requests to the OPR, AF/A4LW, who will determine if a waiver request
requires elevation to the approval authority, AF/A4L.
1.2.4. The Maintenance Group Commander (MXG) or equivalent AF Commander will sign
all deviation or waiver requests initiated at the unit level.
1.2.4.1. Active duty units submit requests through the MAJCOM; info Numbered Air
Force (NAF) and Lead MAJCOM.
1.2.4.2. Reserve and Guard units submit requests to HQ Air Force Reserve Command
(AFRC) or National Guard Bureau (NGB).
1.2.4.3. If the MAJCOM, AFRC, or NGB concurs, forward the waiver/deviation request
to AF/A4LW. As the OPR, AF/A4LW will review and if warranted, elevate to the
AF/A4L for approval.
1.2.4.4. Physical or functional consolidation of activities approved by AFI 21-200 are
not considered deviations or waivers. MAJCOM approval enables their awareness of
their organization’s operating structures.
1.2.4.5. Parent MAJCOMs will forward all MAJCOM approved deviations/waivers to
AF/A4LW to assess potential policy impacts. All deviation and waiver requests shall
include:
1.2.4.5.1. A justification statement.
10 AFI21-201_SEYMOURJOHNSONAFBSUP_I 11 SEPTEMBER 2013
1.2.4.5.2. Duration and the anticipated date of compliance.
1.2.4.5.3. Munitions facility numbers involved.
1.2.4.5.4. Mission impacts or risks assumed by non-compliance with policy.
1.2.4.5.5. Proposed workarounds or alternative methods to comply with policy.
1.2.4.5.6. Information helpful in the evaluation of deviation or waiver requests.
1.2.5. Test or trial programs on munitions items that deviate from munitions specific T.O.s
or procedures require Lead MAJCOM and Program/Engineering/Technical authority
approval.
1.2.6. Test or trial programs that deviate from munitions policy require Lead MAJCOM (or
AFRC and NGB) and AF/A4LW approval. Refer to applicable 00-series T.Os and
applicable 21-series instructions for routing, approval authorities and further guidance.
1.3. Compliance Terminology. For the purposes of this instruction, the following definitions
apply:
1.3.1. Shall, Must, Will: Indicates a mandatory requirement. (Will is also used to express a
declaration of purpose for a future event.)
1.3.2. Should: Indicates a preferred method of accomplishment.
1.3.3. May: Indicates an acceptable or suggested means of accomplishment.
1.3.4. Sign: Indicates digital, electronic, or hard copy.
1.4. Conventions Used:
1.4.1. The term “maintenance” or “maintenance community” is inclusive of munitions.
1.4.2. The term “Memorandum” includes all memorandums, letters, and Memo for Record
(MFR).
1.4.3. Unless specified otherwise, the term “MAJCOM” includes all traditional MAJCOMs
(e.g., ACC, USAFE, PACAF, AFMC, AMC, AFSOC, AETC, AFSPC, AFGSC, and AFRC).
NOTE: NGB is not a traditional MAJCOM, however for the purposes of this AFI, ANG
units will report to the NGB as if it were their MAJCOM.
1.4.4. Unless otherwise noted, the term “Global Ammunition Control Point” or “GACP”
includes all activities of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC),
Munitions Division (AFLCMC/EBH), Hill AFB, UT; Stockpile Management Branch
(AFLCMC/EBHM), Hill AFB, UT; and Armament Branch (AFLCMC/EBHA), Robins AFB,
GA.
1.4.5. All program titles/designations (e.g., AM123A, AM101A) assume Combat
Ammunition System (CAS) unless stated otherwise.
1.4.6. DELETED.
1.4.7. DELETED.
1.4.8. The terms “copy” or “copies” of any document identified in this AFI is assumed to be
