This publication outlines organizational structure based upon mission focus and outlines common responsibilities across the munitions and ICBM maintenance community. This publication applies to all uniformed members of the Regular Air Force, United States Space Force, Air Reserve Component (ARC), Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard (ANG), Department of the Air Force (DAF) civilian employees, and those who are contractually obligated to comply with DAF publications who manage, steward, and maintain munitions, nuclear weapons, ICBM, and related systems and components.
