TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0008 00 0008 00-4 RINSING EQUIPMENT IMMERSED IN FRESH-WATERAny airdrop equipment that has been immersed in a fresh-water lake, river or stream will not require rinsing unless it has been ascertained that the water is dirty, oily or otherwise contaminated. Procedures for handling fresh-water immersed equipment are as follows: 1. Contaminated fresh-water. If the airdrop equipment has been immersed in contaminated fresh-water, rinse, dry and, if applicable, repair the item(s) using the procedures in the RINSING EQUIPMENT IMMERSED IN SALT-WATER paragraph. 2. Uncontaminated fresh-water. If airdrop equipment has been immersed in uncontaminated fresh-water, item(s) will be cleaned and dried as outlined in this paragraph. Minor discoloration of fabric items resulting from immersion in uncontaminated fresh-water may occur. No attempt should be made to eliminate a minor discoloration, as a slight discoloring is preferable to employing vigorous techniques that may damage fabric. END OF WORK PACKAGE
