What roles are responsible for MMR compliance within an organization?

• A. External compliance consultants.
• B. A designated MMR program manager or equivalent, site supervisors, and all personnel who handle or manage munitions.
• C. The safety officer.
• D. The procurement team.

Answer: (B)

MMR compliance needs clear ownership from the top down and from policy to practice. A designated MMR program manager (or equivalent) provides the leadership, governance, and coordination to develop, implement, and audit the program, ensuring policies and training meet regulatory requirements. Site supervisors carry that program into daily operations on the ground, enforcing procedures, verifying inventories, and ensuring timely reports and corrective actions at each location. Everyone who handles or manages munitions must follow the established procedures and maintain proper records, making them an essential part of keeping the program effective and auditable. External consultants can offer expertise, but the internal leadership plus the hands-on responsibility of all personnel who work with munitions creates the necessary accountability and continuity for compliance.
