Receiving Inspections
Report of semitrailers received for storage in a damaged condition or improperly prepared for ship-
ment will be made on DD Form 6 (Report of Damaged or Improper Shipment), in accordance with
AR 700-58. When semitrailers are inactivated, they will be processed in accordance with TM9-247
Immediately upon receipt of semitrailers for storage, they must be inspected and serviced. Perform a
systematic inspection and replace or repair all missing or broken parts. If repairs are beyond the
scope of the unit and the semitrailers will be inactivated for an appreciable length of time, place them
in limited storage and attach tags specifying the repairs needed. The reports of these conditions will
be submitted by the unit commander for action by any ordnance maintenance unit.
Inspection During Storage
Perform a visual inspection periodically to determine generaI condition. If corrosion is found on any
part, remove it and clean and paint or treat with prescribed preservatives.
Removal from Storage
If the semitrailers are not shipped or issued upon expiration of the limited storage period, proceed as
applicable in accordance with TM9-247. If the semitrailers are not shipped or issued upon expiration of
the limited storage period, they need not be reprocessed upon removal from storage unless inspec-
tion reveals it to be necessary according to anticipated in-transit weather conditions. Deprocess the
semitrailers in accordance with TM9-247 when it has been ascertained that they are to be placed in
immediate service. Repair or replace all items tagged for such service.
Storage Site
Whenever possible, the preferred type of storage is under cover in open sheds or warehouses. When
it is necessary to store the semitrailers outdoors, select the storage site in accordance with AR 700-
2300-1 and protect the semitrailers against the elements as prescribed in TB ORD 379.
