and parts removed froM an aircraft which are intended to be rein-

Dear Sergeant J.S.,
DA Pam 738-751 has the final word on materiel condition tags. It states in

Suppose the mech who removes the part falls and breaks a leg and is out of
work for a month.
·
that removed part is not taggedµ it could get trashed or
installed in the wrong aircraft or anything!
The point is that you could wind up repairing and replacing a lot of peRectly
good components

they're not tagged when they¶re removed Fom a bi
