Joint Service Manual for Storage and Materials Handling (Paperback)

This manual establishes uniform storage and materials handling policies, procedures, and responsibilities for use by the Department of Defense (DOD) supply installations involved in the receipt, storage, issue and care of military supplies and equipment, except for preservation/ packing and defense reutilization and marketing facilities, maintenance of bulk petroleum fuel handling facilities, and hazardous materials storage. It is based on an installation which has a wide product mix and stores heavy tonnage items such as subsistance, clothing/textiles, packaged petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POL), as well as small items such as electronics and repair parts.
