EQUIPMENT STORAGE AND SHIPMENT
Placement of Equipment in Storage. Storage should only be affected for short spans of time when a
shortage of maintenance effort exists. Items should be mission ready within 24-hours, or within time
factors set by directing authority. During storage periods, maintenance records must be kept.
Storage Site Selection. Covered space is preferred. When sufficient covered space is not available,
priority should be given to items that are most susceptible to deterioration from the elements. Open sites
should be improved hardstand, if available. Unimproved sites should be firm, well-drained locations, free
of excessive vegetation.
Preparation for Storage and Shipment. Before storing or shipping the SEP, current maintenance
services must be completed; defects and failures corrected; and Modification Work Orders (MWOs)
applied.
