ARMY TM 10-1670-278-23&P AIR FORCE T.O. 13C5-26-2 NAVY NAVAIR 13-1-27 Section II.  SERVICE UPON RECEIPT Paragraph Page 2-4 Initial Receipt  ................................................................................................................... 2-2 2-5 Receipt of Used Parachute  .............................................................................................. 2-7 2-6 After-Use Receipt  ............................................................................................................ 2-7 2-7 Checking Unpacked Equipment After Shipment  ............................................................... 2-7 2-4.    Initial Receipt.  The following describes the procedures for processing parachutes upon initial receipt. a. General  Procedures  for  15-Foot  Diameter  Cargo  Extraction  Parachute.    When  air  delivery  equipment  is initially  procured  from  a  supply  source  and  issued  to  a  using  unit,  the  item(s)  will  be  unpacked  from  the  shipping container(s)   and   inspected   by   a   qualified   parachute   rigger   (MOS   43E).      The   inspection   performed   will   be   a technical/rigger-type  which  will  be  conducted  as  outlined  in  paragraph  2-9.    Upon  completion  of  the  inspection,  the item(s) will be tagged as prescribed in TB 750-126.  Serviceable equipment may then be entered either into storage or into use in air delivery operations, as applicable.  An unserviceable item will be held and reported in accordance with DA PAM 738-750.  Marine Corps users refer MCO 4855.10. b. Inspection Personnel.  Personnel other than parachute rigger personnel may assist in the unpacking process of   initially   received   parachutes   as   directed   by   the   local   airdrop   equipment   maintenance   officer.      However,   the maintenance officer will insure that the entire unpacking effort is conducted under the direct supervision of a qualified rigger (MOS 43E). c. Configuration/Condition.    Acceptance  of  new  equipment  from  the  manufacturer  is  based  upon  inspections made of sample lots which have been randomly selected in accordance with military standards.  It is incumbent upon the using  activity  personnel  to  bear  this  in  mind  whenever  equipment  is  first  placed  in  service.    Changes  will  sometimes evolve   from   the   original   equipment   design   and   sometimes   contractors   are   authorized   deviations   in   material   and construction   techniques.      Airdrop   equipment   that   has   been   in   the   field   cannot   be   expected   to   meet   exacting manufacturing   specifications;   however,   the   equipment   should   closely   reflect   desired   design   characteristics.      Since repairs, modifications, and/or changes can alter or detract from the configuration originally desired, such equipment shall be airworthy, safe, of the desired configuration, and adequate for intended use. d. Parachute  Log  Record.    The  Army  Parachute  Log  Record  DA  Form  3912  is  a  history-type  maintenance document which accompanies the parachute canopy and deployment bag assemblies through the period of service of the individual  assembly.    The  log  record  provides  a  means  of  recording  maintenance  actions  performed  on  a  parachute canopy  assembly.    Normally,  a  log  record  is  initiated  and  attached  to  a  deployment  bag  upon  receipt  by  a  using  unit. However, if the item is subjected to alteration or modification by a maintenance activity during the interim period from date of manufacture to receipt by a using unit, the log record will be prepared by the activity performing the maintenance function.  Once initiated, a log record will be attached to and contained in an affixed parachute log record/inspection data pocket  until  such  time  as  the  parachute  canopy  assembly  is  destroyed  or  rendered  unfit  for  further  use  or  repair. Additionally,  should  an  item  that  requires  a  log  record  be  transferred  from  one  unit  to  another,  the  log  record  for  the parachute  assembly  will  accompany  the  item  in  the  transfer  action.    A  prepared  log  record  will  not  be  removed  or separated  from  a  parachute,  and  especially  a  packed  parachute,  except  as  directed  by  the  local  airdrop  equipment maintenance activity officer.  A log record which is illegible, lost, damaged, soiled, or precludes further entries due to lack of space will be replaced upon the next repack or inspection, as applicable with a serviceable item from stock.
