How to Wash Your FR ACU-P
•
Machine wash FR ACU-P shirt and pants inside-out on the permanent press cycle,
or hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent that does not contain bleach. Cold
water doesn’t fade or wear out the FR ACU-P as fast as hot water.
•
Rinse completely, but do not wring or twist.
•
Hang dry or machine dry on low to medium setting only (between 140-160°F).
•
DO NOT dry clean, starch, use chlorine bleach or have the FR ACU-P commercially
pressed. All will cause permanent damage.
•
DO NOT apply heat or a hot iron to any hook-and-loop fastener or
to the infrared tab. That will cause permanent damage.
All newly deploying Soldiers issued uniforms through the Rapid Fielding Initiative
process should receive the FR ACU-P.
There may be a small number of deployed Soldiers who do not have the FR
ACU-P yet, but they can order the FR ACU-P through Central Issue Facilities (CIFs)
in theater, or Army Direct Ordering (ADO) online:
•
Soldiers have worn permethrin-treated uniforms since the
early 1990s with no adverse effects. Permethrin is a
synthetic insect repellent.
•
The FR ACU-P also includes flame-resistant fabric. The
permethrin does not reduce the uniform’s flame-resistant
properties.
•
The FR ACU-P will protect you against insect bites for the
uniform’s lifetime.
•
Weather and water will not affect the repellent properties
of the FR ACU-P.

T
ake a leap into the future with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Disposition
Service’s (formerly DRMO) Electronic Turn-in Document (ETID) system. ETID
makes preparing disposal turn-in documents (DD Form 1348-1As) a snap.
Unit personnel who used to manually prepare turn-in documents will ±nd the
electronic process easier. ETID automatically ±lls in many of the required ±elds for
national stock number (NSN) items, such as nomenclatures and prices. This saves
time and effort looking up codes and details about items being turned in.
In turn, the ETID electronic system produces more accurate documents, which
reduces common entry errors like incorrect NSNs.
DLA can review property information in
advance on ETID, and contact customers to
resolve any discrepancies prior to actual
turn-ins. This
helps
reduce
property
rejections. Check out:
Remember, units are not authorized
to turn in items directly to DLA
Disposition Services without ±rst going
through their supply support activity
(SSA) accountable of±cers. Complete
regulations are outlined in Chaps 3-18 and
4-17 in AR 710-2,
Supply Policy Below the
National Level.
