INTRODUCTION
Semifixed ammunition rounds are packed in moisture-resistant fiber containers overpacked in wooden boxes. In
this lesson, the wooden box used to store and ship 105mm semifixed ammunition rounds is used as an example,
because it is a common item at most ammunition supply points (ASPs).
WOODEN AMMUNITION BOXES
There are six things you must inspect on every wooden box: the hardware, the handles, the wood, the markings,
the lead-wire seal, and the bands. See Figure 1-1.
