History

The ridge, now known as Sita Pahari was government land reserved for forest and grazing. It was adjunct to ‘Chitapaar’ a revenue village of the Jabalpur district in then central provinces of India. In 1899, the Jabalpur Brigade established temporary accommodations on the ridge. Permanent buildings were constructed between 1907 and 1910, and the ridge was fully occupied by 1915.Following the outbreak of World War I, the ridge remained vacant until March 1916, when the 2/7 Hampshire Regiment occupied the barracks. In 1925, the 2/7 Hampshire Regiment was relieved by the 1st Hampshire Regiment, which continued to reside there until 1943

The Military College of Materials Management (MCMM) was established on 1 October 1925 as the Indian Army Ordnance Corps (IAOC) School of Instructions at Kirkee. It moved to Jabalpur on 13 February 1939, initially located at Roberts Barracks, and relocated to Sita Pahari in 1948. In 1950, the school was renamed the AOC School, and on 8 April 1987, it became the College of Materials Management (CMM). Affiliated with Rani Durgavati Vishwa Vidyalaya (RDVV) in 1991, CMM was granted autonomous status on 1 July 1991. The college was a runner-up for the Golden Peacock National Award for excellence in training in 2000. It received unit citations on Republic Day 2017 and Army Day 2023. On 30 August 2023, CMM was renamed the Military College of Materials Management (MCMM) [5]

Faculty

The Military College of Materials Management (MCMM) provides comprehensive training in Ordnance logistics through several specialized faculties:

Faculty of Higher Ordnance Management (FOHOM)

The Faculty of Higher Ordnance Management, formerly known as the Staff Officers Wing, was renamed in 1987 when the Army Ordnance Corps (AOC) School transitioned to the College of Materials Management (CMM). As the senior-most faculty at MCMM, FOHOM is responsible for publishing the "Materials Manager," the professional journal of the AOC.

Faculty of Munitions (FOM)

The Faculty of Munitions offers basic, advanced, and higher training in armament and ammunitions technology. This includes the handling of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and the management of ammunition warehousing.

Faculty of Logistics Support (FOLS)

The Faculty of Logistics Support trains Officers, Junior Commissioned Officers (JCOs), Other Ranks, and civilian employees of the Army Ordnance Corps in materials management and effective ordnance support. It also provides training to all branches of the army to effectively perform Quarter Master duties within their respective units.

Faculty of Combat Equipment (FOCE)

The Faculty of Combat Equipment trains Officers and Other Ranks of the Army Ordnance Corps, other branches of the army, and civilian storekeepers of the AOC in inventory management for combat equipment.
