The next 21st Theater Sustainment Command Quarterly Amnesty Day for ammunition will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 14 at the Theater Logistics Support Center – Europe/ Ammunition Center Europe, Ammunition Supply Point #9 in Miesau.
The Department of the Army and U.S. Army Europe have recognized that people may have acquired abandoned or unauthorized A&E from a variety of sources – training ranges, souvenirs from peacekeeping missions and military artifacts found from battles waged centuries ago, just to name a few. The primary intent of this A&E when manufactured was to destroy property, kill and/or maim personnel. In untrained or unauthorized hands, these items could have catastrophic results. If these items are found in your possession, you could face disciplinary action, hence, the creation of the Amnesty Program.
This program provides personnel an avenue to return A&E to government control and remain anonymous in the process. USAREUR has designated that one day each quarter be specifically set aside as a reminder of the program’s existence and to further promote safety within the community through the recovery of A&E. This program is not intended to circumvent normal ammunition turn-in procedures and cannot be used as the basis for AR 190-series investigations.
How does the Amnesty process work?
1. Personnel in possession of A&E will need to transport these items to the nearest supporting ASP.
2. Once at the ASP Gate, notify the guard that you have amnesty items.
3. The guards will escort you to the amnesty turn-in point.
4. Simply leave the items in this area. The guards will then escort you out of the ASP.
5. Trained personnel will pick up these items and process them into the ASP.
Regardless of the size, people should not touch A&E items they suspect might be unsafe for movement. Report these items to your local military police. They will see to the removal of these items.
For more information about the Amnesty Program and the Oct. 14 Amnesty Day, contact the ASP #9 office at 481-3525 or 06372-842-3525.
