PREPARATION FOR USE AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
EQUIPMENT OFF-LOADING MARINE CORPS UNIT
INITIAL SETUP:
Personnel Required:
Three
Equipment Condition:
Skid packed out, with the cargo cover removed.
GENERAL
This work package provides instructions for off-loading equipment and components for operation at a
deployed site. Before performing any off-loading procedures, the site and its terrain must be evaluated
and the component locations and layout established as described in WP 0004.
Depending on the selected operating configuration, some packed-out items may not be used. For
example, all of the hose assemblies may not be needed. However, most unused items must be off-
loaded so they are not in the way during operation. Only the following items should be left on the skid:
Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) tank
Chemical Injection System Adaptor A-11 (strapped to a pipe near the air compressor)
Reverse Osmosis (RO) element pusher (strapped to a pipe to the left of the MF filters)
Bisulfite and citric acid chemical buckets (stored in the equipment area)
Operator's tool kit
Before starting off-load, select an area for storing the unused items so they are readily available if
needed, and are all together to reduce the chance of items being lost. The area should be nearby but out
of the way so it doesn't interfere with operation or personnel and vehicle traffic. If possible, the unused
items should be stored in a tent or covered with a tarp so they are protected.
Extended Capability Modules
Depending on tactical and environmental conditions, and the layout of the deployment site, various
extended capability modules may be used. These include:
Cold Weather Module
Supplemental Cleaning Waste Storage Module
Ocean Intake Structure System Module
NBC Water Treatment Module
NBC Survivability Module
Extended Product Water Distribution Kit
The components of these modules are packed out and transported in their own containers.
Hose Identification
To make hoses easier to identify, all suction and discharge hoses are coded with colored bands at each
end as follows:
Raw Water green
Product Water blue
Cleaning and Waste - red
