ENCLOSURE 3

PHYSICAL DEMIL

1. INTRODUCTION. This enclosure contains information on selecting the method and degree of DEMIL, performance considerations, and certification and verification requirements for DoD personal property. DLA Disposition Services sites, DoD Components, and the Military Services have the capability to perform DEMIL for select items. See DoD 4160.21-M (Reference (f)) for the process of turning in DEMIL required items to DLA Disposition Services site. Available services for some items not normally accepted by a DLA Disposition Services site are:

a. Ammunition and Explosives (AE). (U.S. Munitions List (USML) Categories III, IV, and V). The Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition (SMCA) is responsible for DEMIL of conventional ammunition in accordance with DoDD 5160.65 (Reference (g)).

b. Aircraft (USML Category VIII). The Single Manager for each variant of aircraft is responsible for developing a DEMIL workbook with the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group. This workbook shall be created and updated in accordance with Reference

(f) and Volume 2 of this Manual.

c. Vessels (USML Categories VI and XX). The Navy is responsible for disposing of warships in accordance with section 7306 of title 10, United States Code (Reference (h)), while the Maritime Administration is authorized as the disposal agent for Federal Government-owned obsolete, merchant type vessels that are equal to or greater than 1500 gross tons.

d. Classified Items. Volume 2 of this Manual contains information regarding DEMIL of classified items.

e. Contractor Inventory. DoD Components provide oversight for DEMIL and plant clearance in accordance with part 45 of title 48, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (Reference (i)) and subpart 245.6 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (Reference (j)).

2. DEMIL METHOD. The DEMIL method is influenced by the specific DEMIL requirement and available personnel skills, tools, and equipment that may vary among different performing organizations. Several factors influence the determination of the method of DEMIL.

a. DEMIL Code. DEMIL code requirements are identified in Table 1 of Volume 2 of this Manual.

b. Item Technical Characteristics. Material content, hazardous materials content, and physical configuration significantly influence the equipment, tools, and techniques that may be employed.

ENCLOSURE 3 8

c. Qualified Personnel. Personnel performing a physical DEMIL function must be technically qualified and trained appropriately for processes and equipment use. These qualifications vary depending on the techniques and equipment used and is the responsibility of the organization to which the DEMIL personnel are employed. In addition, personnel verifying that the completed DEMIL is adequate, must be sufficiently knowledgeable of the DEMIL requirements for the material being processed to be able to verify through visual inspection that the destructive action taken is sufficient to have met the DEMIL requirement.

3. DEMIL PROCEDURES

a. Procedures for accomplishing physical DEMIL range from detailed, step-by-step procedures unique to a specific item (e.g., DEMIL code “F” items) to those that can be applied to a more general range of items (e.g., operation of an industrial shredder) and those that apply a general technique (e.g., torch cutting) using a standard operating procedure. General principles to aid in procedure development are:

(1) Technical data shall be demilitarized by burning, crosscut shredding, or pulping.

(2) Test equipment may contain DEMIL required components.

(3) It is preferable to DEMIL items to the level of scrap. (See section 39 in appendix to Enclosure 4 for relevant information.)

b. Development of procedures should always make use of existing documentation in procedural DEMIL plans developed in accordance with the guidelines in Volume 1 of this Manual. DEMIL plans should be requested from the applicable weapon system program manager. Also, some plans will be made available on the DoD DEMIL website at https://demil.osd.mil.

c. The Appendix to this enclosure provides guidance regarding the method and degree of required DEMIL of DoD personal property. The method and degree of DEMIL required and a description of key points requiring destruction are described for selected items in the USML.

Each category in the Appendix of this enclosure corresponds to the same category in Enclosure 3 of Volume 2 of this Manual.

4. RESIDUAL MATERIALS

a. If the DEMIL actions do not reduce the item to scrap, the material remaining must be evaluated to determine if it carries additional DEMIL or Trade Security Controls (TSC) requirements. For example a DEMIL code “P” item may require further DEMIL after the classified material, information, or feature has been addressed. Similarly, a DEMIL code “F” or “G” item may require further DEMIL after the hazardous aspect has been addressed or after the energetic material has been removed, respectively.

ENCLOSURE 3 9

b. If the DEMIL action is complete, the residue is still subject to export controls, in accordance with parts 730 through 774 of title 15, CFR (Reference (k)).

5. DEMANUFACTURING OF MILITARY ELECTRONICS

a. Demanufacturing contractors can receive usable and non-usable DEMIL and non-DEMIL required materiel. Military electronics shall be shredded or crushed, preferably to the point of pulverization.

b. Electronic equipment received at a DLA Disposition Services site that does not require DEMIL may still require TSC.

6. CERTIFICATION OF DEMIL

a. Certification. A certificate as shown in the sample format in Figure 1 shall be signed and dated by a DoD contracted person or a Government employee who actually performed or witnessed the DEMIL. The certificate shall be executed for all line items demilitarized. If the item is classified, it must first be declassified and certified as shown in the sample format in Figure 2.

b. Verification. The DEMIL certificate must be verified by a technically qualified DoD contracted person or a Government employee who witnessed the DEMIL of the material or inspected the residue. The individual who verifies the DEMIL should generally be at least in the next higher management or technical level to the initial certifying individual and must be a U.S.

citizen.

(1) The certification and verification shall include the printed or typed name, grade, rank, or title, and activity of each signatory.

(2) Signing false DEMIL certificates constitutes a felony and may subject the individual to prosecution.

c. Contractor Sites. These sites are required to have a Government employee acting as a verifier during all DEMIL activities. To certify that DEMIL is complete, a certifier works with the Government verifier to validate DEMIL.

d. Records Retention Policy for DEMIL Certificates. DoD is responsible for managing their records and documents in accordance with DoDD 5015.2 (Reference (l)).

(1) Inert Loaded Ammunition, Projectiles, and Similar Items of all Types Loaded with Inert Filler to Simulate a Service Item. Remove the fuse and/or spotting charge, where applicable, and burn or detonate. Remove the rotating band from artillery projectiles and open the closure of the projectile body to expose the inert filler. On items without rotating bands, open the body closure to expose the inert filler and damage the closure surface to prevent reloading or resealing. For inert loaded items (concrete, sand, plaster), a potential explosive safety hazard exists when the internal filler is not exposed or unconfined during burning, melting, or cutting. Heat generated from a DEMIL process can cause the filler, moisture, and air to expand and burst sealed casings. For this reason, disposal activities shall not accept inert loaded items unless the internal filler is exposed and unconfined. The internal filler may be exposed by removal of the fuze well from the cavity, removal of base plates, or by puncturing or drilling holes in the bomb casing.

(2) Ammunition And Components That Have Been Fired or Expended, Range Residue, and Other Non-Explosive Items. All items shall be rendered free of energetic materials prior to accomplishment of DEMIL.
