To whom must the deviation memo be forwarded?

The deviation memo must be forwarded to the USAACE Gunnery Branch because this branch is responsible for overseeing and managing gunnery training and practices within the Army Aviation Center of Excellence. When a deviation from standard procedures or practices is necessary, it is crucial to communicate this to the appropriate authority that can evaluate, approve, or provide guidance on the deviation.

Forwarding the memo to the USAACE Gunnery Branch ensures that the adjustment is formally documented and that the branch remains informed of any changes that may affect training effectiveness, safety, and compliance with established standards. This is important not only for maintaining accountability but also for ensuring that all units adhere to training protocols that support operational readiness and effectiveness.
