How often are physical inventories of munitions required to be conducted?

Physical inventories of munitions are required to be conducted twice per year to ensure accurate accountability, compliance with regulations, and proper management of ammunition supplies. This frequency allows for sufficient oversight and verification of inventory levels, helping to identify any discrepancies that may arise from usage, loss, or administrative errors. Conducting inventories on this schedule balances the need for regular checks with practical considerations, ensuring that the munitions are effectively monitored throughout the year without overwhelming the resources devoted to inventory management. This approach supports the overall safety and security of munitions storage and helps maintain operational readiness.
