IDENTICAL QUANTITIES, OF ONE NSN, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE.

PALLET LOADS CONTAINING MORE THAN ONE NSN SHALL BE CLEARLY MARKED TO LIST ALL THE NSN'S CONTAINED IN THE LOAD. NO CARTON SHALL HAVE MORE THAN ONE NSN. AT THE END OF A SIZE RUN, NO MORE THAN ONE CARTON PER NSN MAY BE SHORT OR OVER THE SPECIFIED QUANTITY. SAID CARTON SHALL BE CLEARLY MARKED "SHORT" OR "OVER".
