following subparagraphs.
a. General.
(1) Objective. Methods of destruction used to inflict damage on air delivery equipment should make it
impossible to restore equipment to a usable condition in a combat zone by either repair or cannibalization.
(2) Authority. Destruction of a parachute that is in imminent danger of capture by an enemy is a command
decision that must be made by a battalion or higher commander or the equivalent.
(3) Implementation plan. All units which possess air delivery equipment should have a plan for the
implementation of destruction procedures.
(4) Training. All personnel who use or perform such functions as rigging, packing, maintenance, or storage
of air delivery equipment should receive thorough training on air delivery equipment destruction procedures
and methods. The destruction methods demonstrated during training should be simulated. Upon completion of
training, all applicable personnel should be thoroughly familiar with air delivery equipment destruction methods
and be capable of performing destruction without immediate reference to any publication.
