f. Pain t ing and M ark ing Data .

(1) General. Land mines are identifiedby nomenclature, lot number, model, painting,and markings. Although, basically , ammuni-tion is painted to retard rusting, color is usedfor the following purposes:

(a) To identify practice and train-ing items.

(b) To indicate type of filler (e.g.,high or low explosive).

(c) To code primary role(s) of theammunition.

Prac t ice

NOTE

ammunition, which conformsto the configuration of the service item,may be a modi f ica t ion or a modeldesigned specif ically for practice. Itmay contain explosives and is used dur-ing training exercises.

(2) Color coding. Color coding, in gen-eral, conforms with requirements in applicableammuni t ion specifications a n d d r a w i n g s .When color coding is used on packaging andpacking to identify ammunition contents, thecolors specified in M IL -STD-709C a pply. C olorsused for camouflage, have no color coding signifi-cance.

(3) Application of color coding. Colorcoding is applied as the normal protective coat-ing (overall body color) or as circumferentialbands, in addition to identif ication markings.

A combination of applications typically indi-cates the ma in identificat ion deta ils and specialfeatures (e.g., type of filler). BLACK andWHITE, when used for lettering, have no colorcoding significance. Formally, HE mines andrela ted i tems w e r e p a i n t e d o l i v e d r a b .Markings w ere in yellow. S ome items a lso hadyellow stripes or bands, closing plugs beingpainted yellow. Practice mines were paintedblue and marked in white. Inert mines werepainted black. Under t he new system, a yellowband identif ies HE ammunition; the body ispainted olive drab and markings are white forthe main identif ication details . Practice minescontaining low explosives are painted blue with

a brown band and markings are in white. Inertmines are painted blue or gold, Markings,including the word INERT, are in white.

(4) Materials. Color coding materials(e.g., paints, enamels, lacquers, marking inks,decals, strippable tapes) differ as required bythe applicable ammunition drawings and specifi-cations. Colors specified, however, in a ll casesmatch those of the corresponding numbers inFED STD No. 595B, except that the first digitof the number may be changed in accordancewith the a mmunition requirements for a gloss,semi-gloss, or a lusterless finish.

(5) Data marking. Nomencla ture , lo t

number, month and year loaded (including load-ers initials and symbol) may be in the samecolor as the other markings, in black or white,or by sta mping, as required by the a mmunitiondat a card or another i tem from same lot . Referto appendix D for typical markings.

GENERAL SUPPORT MAINTENANCE


4-1. General

General support (GS) maintenance includest h o s e m a i n t e n a n c e o p e r a t i o n s w h i c h a r ebeyond the scope of tools, equipment, person-nel, or supplies normally available to lowerma in tenance level s. Al though accompli shedunder the same conditions as direct support(DS) maintenance, GS maintenance involvesgreater quantit ies of ammunition. Refer to FM9-19 for mission and organization.

c. Procedure.

NOTE

This procedure is author ized a t GSlevel only. Although basically a repack-

ing procedure, t he following is n orma llyundertaken on a repair basis.

(1) Receive bag from unpacking opera-tion. Assure that reseal i tems havebeen comple te ly inspected andfound serviceable.

(2) Inspect barrier bag and accept orreject as warranted.

NOTEAcceptable bags are intact except foropening sli t and can be resealed af tercontents are reinserted.

(3) Trim open end of bag if ragged.

(4) If bag corners are delaminated butbag is otherwise intact and can besealed, use heat sealing ma chine torelaminate corners.

(5) Set rejects a side for lat er disposal.

(6) If markings are obliterated on other-wise undamaged bags, re-mark inthis connection, see paragraph 3-11.

(7) If new barrier bag is required, pro-ceed according to replacement proce-dures in either (8) or (9) below.

(8) If replacement involves use of twosheets of barrier material, proceedas follows:

(a) Cut two sheets equal to out-side dimensions of original bag.

(b) Place two cut sheets together,plastic-coated surfaces togeth-er; a line edges.

(9) If replacement involves use of onesheet of barrier material, proceedas fo l lows :

(a) Cut one sheet equal to outsidewidt h a nd tw ice outside lengthof original bag.

(b) Fold length dimension of sheetin ha lf with plastic-coat ed sur-faces together.

(c) Seal bot tom and two longestedges using h e a t s e a l i n gmachine.

(10) Leave short est edge of bag unsea ledfor bag opening.

(11) Assure that heat seals are at least1/2-in ch w ide .

(12) Assure that item to be repacked

and packing materials are cleanand dry .

(14) Place inner pads in barrier bag inoriginal orientation using creases,etc., as guide.

(15) Heat-seal bag opening except forapproximately 1-inch width from

end.

(16) Fla t ten bag around inner pack;press sides of open end of bagtogether to force out excess air.Compress open corners of bag withfingers to prevent entrance of air;seal remaining (unsealed) portionof bag opening. Seal full width ofsealing bar.

(17) Assure t ha t h eat seal is a t least 1/2-inch wide and that seal is complete.
