3.14 Levels of protection. A means of specifying the level of military preservation and packing that a given item requires to ensure that it is not degraded during shipment and storage. Specific levels of protection are as follow:
a. Military level of preservation. Preservation designed to protect an item during shipment, handling, indeterminate storage, and distribution to consignees worldwide.
b. Military levels of packing.
(1) Level A. Protection required to meet the most severe worldwide shipment, handling and storage conditions. A Level A pack must, in tandem with the applied preservation, be capable of protecting material from the effects of direct exposure to extremes of climate, terrain, and operational and transportation environments. Examples of situations which indicate a need for use of a Level A pack are: War Reserve Material, mobilization, strategic and theater deployment and employment, open storage, and deck loading. Examples of containers used for Level A packing requirements include, but are not limited to, overseas type wood boxes and plastic and metal reusable containers.
(2) Level B. Protection required to meet moderate worldwide shipment, handling and storage conditions. A Level B pack must, in tandem with applied preservation, be capable of protecting material not directly exposed to extremes of climate, terrain, and operational and transportation environments. Examples of situations which indicate a need for use of a Level B pack are: security assistance (for example, Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and containerized overseas shipments. Examples of containers used for Level B packing requirements include, but
