MIL-STD-1660 Test of PA117 Wood Unitization

Abstract

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USAFACS), Evaluation Division was requested by the U.S. Army Armament, Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), SMCAR-ESK, to test a PA117 container unitization procedure. This unitization procedure used a MIL-P-15011 pallet. The tested configuration was five containers high, six containers wide, and did not have top lifting capabilities. The unit load satisfied the test requirements of MIL-STD-1660, Design Criteria for Ammunition Unit Loads; however, PA117 container damage can be expected due to deformation of the square rings and container sidewall.
