About this file
This is a Special Packaging Instruction (SPI) document issued by the U.S. Air Force for the packaging and preservation of rocket motors. The document specifies detailed packaging requirements for military preservation and shipment of the item, with National Stock Number 1377-01-058-0122 ES, controlled by 406 SCMS at Hill Air Force Base.
The SPI prescribes two packing levels: Level A for the most severe worldwide shipment, handling, and storage conditions (including war reserve material, mobilization, and strategic deployment), and Level B for standard protection. Level A packing requires Level B packs to be overboxed in a Level A specified container marked "OVERPACK." Packaging materials include ASTM D6251 barrier bags, ASTM D5118 RSC boxes, cushioning materials per A-A-1898 Grade II, tape per ASTM D5486, and wrap per MIL-PRL-81705. The document mandates compliance with Military Preservation IAW MIL-STD-2073-1, cleaning and drying requirements, and marking per MIL-STD-129. Special requirements include UN PDP marking (4G/Y5/S/★★ USA/DOD/AF70) and marking the SPI number on container identification sides. Wooden pallets, skids, and packaging materials must comply with International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM No. 15), constructed from debarked, heat-treated wood (56°C or 133°F for 30 minutes) with certification from an accredited American Lumber Standards Committee agency. The document includes detailed packing diagrams, closure procedures, and palletization instructions for Level B packs on 40" × 48" four-way entry pallets with specified strapping and edge protectors.
