The "Packaging and Marking Guide for DoD" serves as an informational framework for military packaging requirements, developed by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) in March 2014. This guide is not officially adopted but aims to familiarize personnel with critical aspects of packaging, marking, and labeling in defense procurement. It outlines where packaging requirements can be found within contracts and emphasizes adherence to specific standards, such as MIL-STD-129 for marking hazardous materials and MIL-STD-2073-1E for military packaging practices. Additionally, it discusses various preservation methods and packing levels necessary to protect items during shipment and storage, addressing both general and hazardous materials regulations. The document includes comprehensive appendices covering military packaging data forms, design validation provisions, and a detailed breakdown of packaging requirement codes, reinforcing the importance of quality assurance in packaging processes. By ensuring compliance with established protocols, the guide aims to uphold the integrity of defense logistics and operational readiness.
