What type of ammunition does TC 9-37 specifically address?

TC 9-37 specifically addresses small arms ammunition. This type of ammunition includes cartridges used in a variety of infantry firearms such as rifles, pistols, and machine guns. The technical characteristics and handling procedures for small arms ammunition are crucial for effective use and safety in military operations.

Understanding the specifications and classifications of small arms ammunition is essential for soldiers and safety personnel to ensure the correct ammunition is matched with the appropriate weapon system. This is particularly important in military contexts where different missions and environments may require diverse types of ammunition, each with unique handling and availability considerations.

The other types listed, such as artillery, nuclear, and missile ammunition, fall under different technical provisions and doctrine, which TC 9-37 does not cover.
