REMOVAL OF EQUIPMENT FROM ADMINISTRATIVE STORAGE.

Activation

Restore equipment to normal operating condition in accordance with the instructions contained in Chapter 4, Section II.

Servicing

Resume the maintenance service schedule in effect at the commencement of storage, or service the equipment before the

scheduled dates in order to produce a staggered workload.

PREPARATION OF EQUIPMENT FOR SHIPMENT.

Refer to FM 55-21, TM 55-601, and TM 743-200-1 for additional instructions on processing, storage, and shipment

of materiel.

Trailers shipped on flatcars require wheel blocking in accordance with the Association of American Railroads' rules

governing the loading of commodities on "open top" cars.

Trailers that have been removed from storage for shipment do not have to be reprocessed if they will reach their

destination within the administrative storage period. Reprocess only if inspection reveals any corrosion or if in-

transit weather conditions make it necessary.

When a trailer is received and has already been processed for domestic shipment, as indicated on DD Form 1397,

the trailer does not have to be reprocessed for storage unless corrosion and deterioration are found during the

inspection upon receipt. List, on SF Form 364, all discrepancies found because of poor preservation, packaging,

packing, marking, handling, loading, storage, or excessive preservation. Repairs that cannot be handled by the

receiving unit must have tags attached listing needed repairs. A report of these conditions will be submitted by the

Unit commander for action by an ordnance maintenance Unit.
