Abstract

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS), Evaluation Division (SMCAC-DEV), has been tasked by the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), Rock Island, IL, to test unitization procedures for shipping M2A1 containers. Under project no. CA 185/ 56-81, the Storage and Outloading Division (SMCAC-DEO) developed two procedures for shipping M2A1 containers. The methods and results of MIL-STD-1660 testing and APE 1958 leak testing of the wirebound unitization procedure described in project CA 185/56-81 are contained within this report. As a result of these tests, it was found that the referenced satisfactorily protected the M2A1 containers in the unitized load. (KT)
