The problem is, some units regularly pack one or two excess COMSEC/CCI items
in a box with many miscellaneous items.
Then they ship it all to Building 73 at the depot. Once the box arrives, depot
workers have to sort out the items and transfer the non-COMSEC/CCI equipment to
the rightful owners.
This work is time-consuming and uses up valuable man-hours. It also creates
additional shipping costs. Handling and reshipping the
misdirected cargo costs an estimated $100K each year.
Never ship:
Do Your Disposition Homework
To prevent misdirected cargo shipments, organizational supply, maintenance
activities (motor pools, for example), and unit property book ofFcers must do their
homework. They need to:
•
Contact the proper item manager
for all Federal Supply Class (FSC)
5810 items.
•
Ask the item manager for
disposition instructions for
shipping excess COMSEC/CCI
equipment.
•
Contact the proper item manager
for non-COMSEC/CCI item
disposition instructions. That
includes instructions for turning
in items to the local Defense
Logistics Agency (DLA) Disposition
Services (formerly DRMO).
