Cartonization or Boxing:
This means enclosing items that are cleaned, dried,
cushioned, and blocked and braced in a carton or box. Do not use contact preservatives
or barriers that afford protection from the environment. Follow these steps:
1.±
Clean and dry the item.
2.±
Apply cushioning
materials, dunnage, and
blocking and bracing as
needed to protect the
item and the enclosing
box or carton. That
also keeps the item
from moving inside the
container.
3.±
Enclose the item in a
carton or box selected
from MIL-STD-2073-1,
Appendix J, Table J-VII.
4.±
Apply markings according
to MIL-STD-129.
Knowledge Center
Key to PA-CSDP
Supply
Management…
The Army is
focusing on how
units can get a
better handle
on property
accountability
(PA) and uphold
the Command
Supply Discipline
Program (CSDP).
To aid in this goal, the
Quartermaster School
at Ft Lee, VA, recently
opened the
Property
Accountability and Command
Supply Discipline Program
Knowledge Center
on AKO.
it’s a
one-stop
shop
that
offers…
The center is also part of the Sustainment
Knowledge Network (SKN) and SKN forums,
so online collaboration is a
snap.
Special features
include
“Ask Now,”
where visitors can
submit questions
to subject matter
experts (SMEs) at
the Quartermaster
School…
… plus a virtual library
where these SMEs and others
can share best practices
and lessons learned. Future
additions include a PA training
calendar and the ability to
login to live classes via
Defense Connect Online.
Anyone with a CAC can access the center. Visit:
For more information about the center,

hey, cloe--
let
me
see
that map!
You
won’t
get
lost
in the
methods of preservation
“maze” as long as you use
MIL-STD-2o

3-1 for a map.
But if you
do
get off the
beaten path, the Logistics
Support Activity’s Packaging,
Storage and Containerization
Center can help. Call DSN
