Shipment.
a.
Initial Shipment. The initial packaging and
shipping of air delivery equipment is the responsibility of
item manufacturers who are required to comply with
federal and military packing specifications as stipulated
in contractual agreements. Air delivery equipment is
normally shipped to depot activities by domestic freight
or parcel post, packaged to comply with overseas
shipping requirements. Except for those airdrop items
which are unpackaged and subjected to random
inspections or testing by a depot activity, air delivery
equipment received by a using unit will be contained in
original packaging materials.
b. Shipping Between Maintenance Activities. The
shipping of air delivery equipment between organiza-
tional and direct support maintenance activities will be
accomplished on a signature verification basis using
whatever means of transportation are available. During
shipment, every effort will be made to protect airdrop
items from weather elements, dust, dirt, oil, grease, and
acids. Vehicles used to transport air delivery equipment
will be inspected to ensure the items are protected from
the previously cited material damaging conditions.
c.
Other Shipping Instructions. Air delivery
equipment destined for domestic or overseas shipment
will be packaged and marked in accordance with AR
700-15, TM 38-230-1, and TM 38-230-2.
