red light should flash in your head when you find an
item in the FED LOG-AMDF with an acquisition advice
code (AAC) of ‘
T
’ and a phrase code (PC) of ‘
T
’.
AAC T and PC T are used together only to identify
condemned items and their replacements. You are
not authorized to use such items nor should you
stock, store, issue or requisition them. In fact, you
must
immediately
dispose of all on-hand or in-use
stock. Contact the item manager to make sure you
know how to dispose of the item(s) correctly. By
the time the FED LOG-AMDF shows an item
as condemned, your unit should have
already been told this and given disposal
instructions by the item manager.
But, there are times when safety-of-
use and maintenance advisory messages
fall into a black hole. When that happens,
a unit may discover an item is condemned
only when they check it out in the FED
LOG-AMDF. Not to worry, though,
because the FED LOG-AMDF
becomes your authority to dispose
of your on-hand stock.
If the condemned item is mission-essential, see if the FED LOG-AMDF has a
replacement listed and order it ASAP. Otherwise, contact the item manager for a
replacement.
Under no circumstances should you use the condemned item until the
replacement is received.
Protect your unit, its soldiers and yourself by immedi-
ately removing condemned items from use!

o you have some equipment you want to dispose of right now without
waiting for the national inventory control point (NICP) to give its approval?
If so, check out the latest automatic disposal list (ADL). It lists every item that
DA has approved for turn-in to DRMO without the need for NICP approval.
The ADL is updated in April and October and posted on the Internet at:
Once there, read the current HQDA message on the ADL. When you get to
the bottom of the message, click on
Automatic chart.
When you get to the next screen, click on latest ADL update and the current
ADL list will be displayed.
Keep in mind that unit-level supply must turn in ADL items to its supply
support activity (SSA). Only the SSA can deal directly with the DRMO.
The ADL takes precedence over all sources except HQDA messages.
You should report conflicts to HQDA at DSN 224-3227, (703) 614-3227, or by
e-mail:
