1-2. Maintenance Forms and Records. Department of the Army forms and procedures used for equipment
maintenance will be those prescribed by DA PAM 738-750, The Army Maintenance Management System
(TAMMS) and DA PAM 738-751, The Army Maintenance Management System-Aviation.
1-3. Destruction of Army Materiel to Prevent Enemy Use.                                        Destruction methods are described in the
following subparagraphs.
a. General.
           (1) Objective. Methods of destruction used to inflict damage on external transport equipment
make it impossible to restore equipment to a usable condition in a combat zone by either repair or
cannibalization.
                                                  1-1
                                                                                         TM 10-1670-295-23&P
          (2) Authority. Destruction of external transport equipment 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 external transport equipment should have a plan
for the implementation of destruction procedures
            (4) Training. All personnel who use external transport equipment should receive thorough training
on external transport 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 external transport equipment destruction methods and be capable of performing destruction
without immediate reference to any publication.
          (5) Specific methods. Specific methods of destroying Army material to prevent enemy use shall
be by mechanical means, fire or by use of natural surroundings
            b. Destruction by Mechanical Means. External transport equipment metal assemblies and parts
shall be destroyed using hammers, bolt cutters, files, hacksaws, drills, screwdrivers, crowbars, or other similar
devices to smash, break, bend or cut.
WARNING
      c. Destruction By Fire. Items that can be destroyed by fire shall be burned. The destruction of
equipment by use of fire is an effective method of destroying low-melting-point metal items (e.g., sling legs and
threaded portions of nuts and bolts. However, mechanical destruction should be completed first, whenever
possible, before initiating destruction by fire. When items to be destroyed are made of metal, textile materials
(or some comparable low combustible material) should be packed under and around the items, then soaked
with a flammable petroleum product and ignited. Proper concentration of equipment which is suitable for
burning will”provide a hotter and more destructive fire.
        d. Destruction By Use of Natural Surroundings. Small vital parts of assemblies which are easily
accessible may be disposed of as follows. Disposal or denial of equipment to an enemy may be accomplished
through use of natural surroundings. Accessible vital parts of assemblies may be removed and scattered
through dense foliage, buried in dirt or sand, or thrown into a lake, stream, or other body of water. Total
submersion of equipment in a body of water will provide water damage as well as concealment. Saltwater will
Inflict extensive damage to external transport equipment.
1-4. Preparation for Storage or Shipment. For storage, refer to Chapter 2, Section VII of this manual.

2-8. Inspection.
                                                        NOTE
                   Neither initial nor periodic proof load testing of the 10,000 and 25,000 lb. capacity
                   sling is required to be performed by using units.
a. Sling Assembly. Before using a sling set, inspect all metalware for proper operation, rust, corrosion, cracks,
bends, distortions, burrs, sharp edges, grease, oil, acid, or foreign matter. Check for any missing components
If bends, cracks, or distortions are present, the sling cannot be used. If any of the maximum criteria is
exceeded, the rope must be replaced. Do not be alarmed if fuzziness appears on the rope. This is one of the
characteristics of nylon and does not affect the strength of the rope.
Outer jacket yarns in the 10,000-pound capacity rope are identified by a braided strand about three-thirty
seconds of an inch in diameter. in the 25,000-pound capacity rope, yams are identified by a braided strand
about one-eighth inch in diameter. Refer to the Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC) when replacing
components.
      b. Cargo Nets. First spread out the net flat on the ground Make sure the lifting legs are pulled free of the
body of the net Inspect each hook for burrs, cracks, and distortions. Begin the inspection with the hook next to
the apex fitting. Then check the other three hooks, ending with the hook that has the apex fitting attached to It.
Use a metal file to smooth out any burrs. Burrs could snag or cut into the net. Corrective action now will
prevent having to replace or repair major portions of the net later. Nets with badly damaged or missing metal
hooks must be returned to the direct support unit for replacement.

                   from fraying or unraveling. However, in some instances the preparation of the
                   material may not be necessary and will be specified accordingly.
      Searing. The cut ends of nylon tape, webbing, and cord lengths may be prepared by heat-searing which
is performed by pressing the raw end of the material against a hot metal surface (knife) until the nylon has
melted sufficiently. Avoid forming a sharp edge or lumped effect on the melted end.
