removed items shall be placed within the personnel compartment of the vehicle. Large wooden
boxes shall be placed on the vehicle floor and shall be secured with 1-1/4-inch wide strapping
conforming to Type I, heavy duty, Finish A of ASTM D3953. (NOTE: If BII and other
containers are placed in fiberboard containers and it has been determined 1.25 inch wide strapping
will cause damage to containers, strapping width shall be reduced to 0.75 inch wide.) Strapping
shall be secured to holding devices within the compartment. Additional strapping may be required
if 0.75 inch wide strapping is used. All containers shall be secured in such a manner as to prevent
any movement during transit and to prevent damage to containers or vehicle interiors. Corner
protectors shall be used under all strapping.

grade 4 of MIL-C-16173. Removed bolts shall be wrapped with barrier material conforming to
type II, grade A, Class 2 of MIL-B-121 and placed in a cloth bag identified with a tag. The tag
shall contain the following information: "TRACK SHROUD BOLTS: REINSTALL WHEN BII
SADDLE IS REMOVED FROM VEHICLE". The bag shall be secured in a conspicuous
location within the driver's compartment. BII containers shall be placed on the saddle in a
position which will not increase the overall cube of the vehicle. Smaller wooden boxes shall be
secured to the larger boxes with 3/4-inch-wide strapping conforming to type I, heavy duty,
finish B, grade 2 of ASTM D3953. BII shall then be secured to the saddle in each direction with
two 1.25 inch-wide strapping conforming to type I, heavy duty, finish B, grade 2 of
ASTM D3953. Corner protectors shall be used under all strapping. If it is ascertained that the
interior of the M58 vehicle will accommodate the stowage of the BII and items removed for
shipment a saddle shall not be required. Stowage and securement will be as stated in 3.1.9.8.1.
