Initial Shipment  The initial packaging and shipping of parachutes is the responsibility of item manufacturers who are required to comply with federal and military packing specifications as  stipulated  in  contractual  agreements.    Air delivery  equipment  is  normally  shipped  to  depot  activities  by  domestic  freight  or  parcel  post,  packaged  to  comply  with overseas  shipping  requirements.    Except  for  those  air  delivery  items  which  are  unpackaged  and  subjected  to  random inspections  or  testing  by  a  depot  activity,  parachutes  received  by  a  using  unit  will  be  contained  in  original  packaging materials. b. Shipping Between Maintenance Activities.  The shipping of air delivery equipment between organizational and direct  support  maintenance  activities  will  be  accomplished  on  a  signature  verification  basis  using  whatever  means  of transportation is available.  Used parachutes and other fabric items will be tagged in accordance with DA PAM 738-751, and rolled, folded, or placed loosely in a parachute pack, or other suitable container, as required.  Used wood and metal air delivery  items  will  be  tagged  as  prescribed  in  DA  PAM  738-751  and  placed  in  a  suitable  type  container,  if  necessary. Unused  air  delivery  equipment  will  be  transported  in  original  shipping  containers.    During  shipment,  every  effort  will  be made to protect air delivery equipment from weather elements, dust, dirt, oil, grease, and acids.  Vehicles used to transport parachutes will be inspected to ensure the items are protected from the previously cited material damaging conditions. c. Other  Shipping  Instructions.    Air  delivery  equipment  destined  for  domestic  or  overseas  shipment  will  be packaged and marked in accordance with AR 700-15 Packaging of Material, TM 38-230-1, and TM 38-230-2 Preservation, Packaging, Packing of Military Supplies and Equipment (Vol.1 and 2). 2-112
