Upon receipt of a notice of ammunition report, you have how many working days to respond with an ATR?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 5
• D. 7

Answer: (B)

When you receive a notice of ammunition report, you must respond with an Ammunition Transfer Request (ATR) within three working days. Working days are the normal business days that the activity is open, excluding weekends and holidays, so you count only those days. The ATR is the formal document that records your intended action—such as transfer, disposition, or a status change—and communicates it back to the issuing activity. This quick three-day window keeps the ammunition records accurate and the inventory moving efficiently, preventing delays in custody, accountability, and supply chain flow. Plan ahead, gather the necessary details (item, quantity, lot/NSN if applicable, destination or disposition), and submit the ATR within that timeframe.
