CONCLUDING MATERIAL

Establishes the methods, materials, and techniques to be employed in the formation of bonded palletized unit loads of military supplies which are adaptable to unit loading.

This handbook establishes the methods, materials, and techniques to be employed in the formation of bonded palletized unit loads of military supplies, which are adaptable to unit loading. The methods prescribed herein are to be utilized with standard, general purpose, 40- by 48-inch pallets conforming to the various classes, types, and styles in ASME MH 1, Part 9. However, the various methods of bonding and types of storage aids may be modified for use with other size pallets. This handbook will not be used for the palletization of ammunition, explosives, or semi-perishable subsistence unless specifically prescribed by the cognizant technical activity. (Ammunition unit loads should be in accordance with MIL-STD-1660, while semi-perishable subsistence unit loads will be in accordance with DSCP Form 3507.) This handbook is for guidance only and cannot be cited as a requirement.
