This publication, "Packaging of Materiel: Preservation (FM 38-700)," is a joint regulation for all Department of Defense (DOD) components which establishes policies on the development of uniform requirements for the packaging of materiel acquired, stored, or shipped. The joint regulation implements DOD 4140.1-R, DOD Materiel Management Regulation, and covers policy requirements concerning Packaging, Specifications and Standards, Levels of Protection, and Project Information Exchange. It provides uniform criteria for the selection and prescription of packaging at the times of acquisition, storage or shipment. While the Packaging of Materiel publication relates to both preservation of the unit packs and packing of the shipping containers, this document will only address preservation requirements, including levels of protection.

Field Manual (FM) 5-472, "Materials Testing," provides the technical information necessary for military personnel to obtain sample and perform engineering tests and calculations on soils, bituminous paving mixtures, and concrete. These tests and calculations are required to achieve proper design with these materials and adequate control of their use in military construction. This manual covers soils, aggregates, bituminous cements, bituminous paving mixtures, Portland-cement concrete, and stabilized soils including stabilizing agents such as bitumens, cements, lime, fly ash, and chemical modifiers. The manual gives detailed instructions for taking adequate representative test samples and step-by-step procedures for making physical-properties tests and for recording, calculating, and evaluating test results. The manual explains methods for designing bituminous paving mixtures and for stabilizing soil. It also gives the procedures and tests required to control the manufacture of these mixtures. The manual describes the tools and equipment for performing these tests and contains general instructions for the care, calibration, and use of test equipment.

The purpose of this manual, "Airdrop of Supplies and Equipment: Rigging Airdrop Platforms," is to provide the latest approved procedures for rigging airdrop Platforms. This manual is written for use by the parachute rigger. It consists of 10 chapters. The procedures contained in this manual are typical and serve as the standard from which all platform rigging is derived. Due to the uniqueness of some equipment and items, the procedures in a specific rigging manual may be different from those in this manual. When procedures are different, those in the specific manual will be followed. When an item of equipment is specified to be used for which its minimum or maximum capacity is exceeded, a notice of exception will be printed at the beginning of each paragraph in each rigging manual where the exception is authorized. When an item of airdrop equipment is replaced or a procedure is changed, it will be impossible to change all manuals in the field at one time. Therefore, this manual will be changed, when necessary. Chapters 1 through 10 contain specific limitations and general information about the rigging of airdrop platform loads for low-velocity airdrop from US aircraft and also shows and tells how to prepare, attach, and safety tie some of the components and systems used in the specific rigging manuals of the FM 4-20.100/TO 13C7 series.

This manual, "Multiservice Procedures for Well-Drilling Operations (FM 5-484)," is a guide for engineer personnel responsible for planning, designing, and drilling wells. This manual focuses on techniques and procedures for installing wells and includes expedient methods for digging shallow water wells, such as hand-dug wells. Engineer personnel assigned to well-drilling teams must have a basic understanding of groundwater principles and well-drilling mechanics and hydraulics to successfully install wells. A well driller enhances his skills primarily from experience in solving problems, overcoming obstacles in the field, and learning from failures. This manual reviews common experiences well drillers encounter in the field, including well installation and completion in North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries.

Also Includes Battles And Capitulation Of Santiago De Cuba; Comments Of Rear Admiral Pullman, German Navy, On The Main Features Of The War With Spain; Sketches From The Spanish American War By J. A. Wisner.

This manual meets the first aid training needs of individual service members. Because medical personnel will not always be readily available, the nonmedical service members must rely heavily on their own skills and knowledge of life-sustaining methods to survive on the integrated battlefield. This publication outlines both self-aid and aid to other service members (buddy aid). More importantly, it emphasizes prompt and effective action in sustaining life and preventing or minimizing further suffering and disability. First aid is the emergency care given to the sick, injured, or wounded before being treated by medical personnel. The term first aid can be defined as "urgent and immediate lifesaving and other measures, which can be performed for casualties by nonmedical personnel when medical personnel are not immediately available." Nonmedical service members have received basic first aid training and should remain skilled in the correct procedures for giving first aid. This manual is directed to all service members.

This publication, "Packaging of Materiel: Packing (FM 38-701)," contains information on the fundamental principles and approved methods and techniques used in the protection of military supplies and equipment against deterioration and damage during shipment and storage. It is published as an official document for use in operations and in the training of military and civilian personnel from all segments of the Department of Defense (DOD) and supporting agencies, as well as for interested industrial personnel. It contains information based on specifications, standards, and other pertinent documents, current as of the date of preparation and coordination of the publication. This manual emphasizes the importance of packing of military supplies and equipment. It contains detailed information concerning the requirements to accomplish packing operations. The requirements include use of exterior shipping containers; the assembling of items or packs into the container; anchoring, blocking, bracing, and cushioning of items or packages within the container; weatherproofing; strapping of containers; the testing of exterior packs; palletization and unitization of loads; parcel post; and related subject matter.

Contains Part 1, Relating To The Preparation Of Vessels Of War For Battle, And To The Duties Of Officers And Others When At Quarters; Part 2, The Equipment And Maneuver Of Boats And Exercise Of Boat Howitzers; Part 3, Ordnance And Ordnance Stores.
