The Departmento Munitorum (or Munitorium[11b]) is a department of the @Adeptus Administratum devoted to the general administration, supply, and command of the @Astra Militarum despite its necessity it is often viewed by the Guard as ineffective. The Munitorum has ultimate responsibility for the raising of new regiments, training of troops, provision of equipment and supplies, and transportation of troops and equipment to and from theatres of war. It is primarily a logistical organisation like the Administratum, but while the Administratum deals with civilian logistics, the Munitorum deals with the logistics of war. Using military as opposed to civilian ranks, the Departmento Munitorum dates back to the Great Crusade.[7]
