Depending on tactical and environmental conditions, and the layout of the deployment site, various
extended capability modules may be in use. These include:
Cold Weather Module
Supplemental Cleaning Waste Storage Module
Ocean Intake Structure System Module
NBC Water Treatment Module
NBC Survivability Module
The components of these modules are packed out and transported in their own containers. Before
starting MC-TWPS packout, remove and pack out the extended capability module components using the
procedures in WP 0030, Preparation for Movement Marine Corps Extended Capability Modules.
PREPARATION FOR PACKOUT
Prepare the MC-TWPS for packout as described in the following steps, which can generally be performed
at the same time and in any convenient order.
1. Sort by length and lay out the following straps that will be used to secure various components:
Six 12-in. hook and loop straps (4 of the 6 should already be on the NBC Hypochlorite tubing)
Ten 18-in, hook and loop straps
Three 36-in. hook and loop straps
Four 48-in. hook and loop straps
Ten 10-ft. ratchet straps (2 of the 9 should already be around the NBC tank)
2. Sort by length and lay out the following discharge hose straps that were stored in a separate BII
box when the hoses were installed. (The hose straps are brown and have a carrying loop.)
Eight 25-in. straps
Two 12-in. straps
One 36-in strap
NOTE
All product water hoses have caps and plugs that should be installed on the end of
the hoses during packout to keep the product hoses clean. The covers and caps
are stored in BII Box #3 when the hoses are in use.
For easy identification, all hoses are coded with colored bands at each end as
follows:
Ocean Intake Structure System (OISS) - yellow
Raw Water green
Product Water blue
Cleaning and Waste red
3. Disconnect the raw water, MF feed, and product water distribution hoses and adaptors. Allow
them to drain.
