The best rule of thumb is to ship the component back in the same container or box
you received the replacement part in. If there’s doubt about how to package an air-
craft part, contact Jerry Platzer or Susan Lunsford, AMCOM Packaging Branch, at
DSN 788-8614, or DSN 788-9130 and commercial at (256) 842-8614.
When you ship any type of
component, consider the type of
environment it’s heading to and
how long it will sit outside, let’s
say, in a salty, rainy or cold envi-
ronment. That should determine
the type and amount of desiccant,
preservative, cushioning materi-
al, and the level of protection to
use. Check out TM 746-10,
General Packaging Instructions
for Field Units,
(Apr 93) for
more packaging instructions.
Ship all the historical data
with a component. That means
use DA Form 2410 and DA
Form 2408-5. If the paper-
work is left out, you won’t get
any unit turn-in credit, and the
component could be returned.
Upon receipt of disposition
instructions from the manag-
ing ICP, ship material with the
completed condition tag,
1348-1A.
