Block 32, Doc Id. This block is used to record trailer data. Trailer data is extra information that is required
to track and account for hazardous cargo. Each line on the lower half of the DD Form 1384 is a separate
trailer data entry.
Document identifier "TE6" shows the complete round count, the NSN, and the United Nations (UN)
organization serial number and the UN organization quantity distance and compatibility group. This
information is found in SB 708-4 (DOD Consolidated Ammunition Catalog). See Figure 1-7, Page 1-12.
Document identifier "TE7" shows net explosive weight (NEW), lot number, the number of pieces (pallets
or loose boxes), total weight in pounds, and total cube of all pieces. Non-standard pallets must be
measured and weighed.
Document identifier "TE9" shows the United Nations organization (UNO) proper shipping name and the
hazard class.
When DD Form 1348-1 and DD Form 1384 have been completed, a copy of each is sent to the local
transportation office. The remaining copies of DD Form 1348-1 and DD Form 1384 are placed in the suspense
file with the copies of DA Form 3151-R until transportation is allocated for the shipment.
LOADING THE SHIPMENT
When a vehicle arrives at the ASP to pick up a shipment of ammunition, the loading operation begins. The DA
Form 3151-R and the DD Form 1384 for that particular shipment are pulled from the suspense file. The loading
operation is checked using these forms to ensure compliance with applicable directives and safety regulations.
The best way to check the loading operating is to be present throughout the entire operation. This practice will
provide the greatest assurance of load stability, compatibility, economy, and public safety.
As an ammunition officer, you must ensure that certain conditions are met before, during, and after the loading
operation. These conditions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Check the manifest.
Use DD Form 626 (Vehicle Inspection).
Identify fire hazard associated with the load.
Check fire division symbols and DOT placards.
Check compatibility of the load.
Check blocking and bracing.
Use DD Form 836 (Special Instructions for Motor Vehicle Drivers).
Check the Manifest
At the loading site, check DD Form 1384 (manifest). See Figure 1-8, Page 1-13. It contains information you need
to start your loading operations check. Look for the following information on the manifest:
UNO shipping name (Doc Id TE9). This name may be verified by using TM 9-1300-206 or BOE 6000. At
this time, also verify compatibility and the fire hazard class that pertains to the UNO shipping name.
NEW and quantity by weight and cube (Doc Id TE7).
Block 9. PLT indicates that the items to be shipped are loaded on pallets.
