2–21 RECEIPT FOR STORAGE

When received for storage and already processed for domestic shipment by the manufacturer as indicated on

sion, deterioration, etc.

Upon receipt from manufacturing facility, if the processing data on the tag indicates that preservation has been ren-

dered ineffective by operation or by freight shipping damage, completely process the vehicle in accordance with

MIL–H–46709.

Immediately upon receipt of the vehicle for storage, it must be inspected and serviced as prescribed. Perform a sys-

tematic inspection. Replace or repair all missing or broken parts. If repairs are beyond the scope of the unit, and mate-

riel will be inactivated for a considerable length of time, place materiel in limited storage and attach tags specifying the

repairs needed.

When materiel is inactivated for a limited time (not to exceed 90 days), it will be processed as normal.
