General Procedures for Air Delivery Equipment. 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 92R). The inspection performed will be a technical/
rigger-type inspection and will be conducted as outlined in the Preventive Maintenance Checks and
Services (PMCS) procedures. Upon completion of the inspection, the item(s) will be tagged as
prescribed in DA PAM 738-751. Serviceable equipment may then be entered either into storage or into
use in airdrop operations, as applicable. An unserviceable item will be held and reported, in accordance
with DA PAM 738-750.
Inspection Personnel. Personnel other than parachute rigger personnel may assist in the unpacking
process of initially received components, as directed by the local air delivery equipment maintenance
officer. However, the maintenance officer will ensure the entire unpacking effort is conducted under the
direct supervision of a qualified parachute rigger (MOS 92R).
