width is 48 X 24 inches (121.92 X 60.96 centimeters) or more and the weight exceeds 100 pounds (45.36
kilograms), 3 X 4 inches (7.62 X 10.16 centimeters) skids (laid flat) shall be applied in accordance with
the requirements of the container specification. Palletization shall be required when containers specified
in 3.1.4 do not require skids; quantities per destination exceed either a total of 250 pounds or 113.4
kilograms (excluding the pallet) or a volume of 20 cubic feet (0.05563 cubic meter); and the container size
permits use of one of the pallet patterns of MIL-HDBK-774. A quantity of containers, packed as specified,
except that container strapping may be omitted, shall be placed on a pallet, load type I conforming to MIL-
HDBK-774. For military level B and minimal, unit or intermediate containers which meet these
requirements may be palletized without further packing. The pallet shall conform to NN-P-71 (type IV,
group I or II woods). The load shall be "bonded" to the pallet by strapping conforming to ASTM-D3953
(type I, finish A) or shrink film conforming to A-A-3174 (type IV). Stretch wrap in accordance with MIL-
