Always think about weather conditions when you ship a component. Consider
how long it will sit outside and whether it will be transported or stored in a salty,
rainy, cold, dusty or sandy environment. That determines the type and amount of
desiccant, preservative, cushioning material, and how much other protection you
need to use.
Before shipping any compo-
nents, include all the historical data.
That means using DA Form 2410
and DA Form 2408-5. If the paper-
work is left out, your unit won’t get
turn-in credit, and the component
could be returned. Upon receipt of
disposition instructions from the
managing inventory control point,
ship material with the completed
DD
Form
1577-series
condition
tag, and the correct number of cop-
ies of the DD Form 1348-1A. For
additional packaging and preserva-
tion information, check out GEN-
11-AMAM-03 on the web:

…if you ship the ALQ-144A/C countermeasure set, use the correct
shipping container, NSN 5865-01-250-2422. There’s also an old
container, NSN 5865-01-037-1325. The difference between them is
the shape, but both serve the same purpose. Just make sure they’re
clean, free of corrosion and can seal out condensation and moisture.
If you just need to store the countermeasure set upper transmitter,
