Deployable Medical Systems (DEPMED) - ISO-compliant containers used to deploy mobile medical
resources. They are used to ship and store operating rooms, laboratories and other medical facilities and
supplies.
International shipping of goods prior to containerization was known as __________. - Break-bulk
Break-bulk method of transport - Increased handling of goods in port
Containerization method of transportation - Increased shipping speed, reduced shipping costs,
and reduced port congestion
CSC - Convention for Safe Containers (1972), an international agreement maintaining global
container handling and transportation standards. It requires structural safety approval of all
internationally-transported ISO containers. It also mandates periodic inspections at specified intervals to
ensure safe condition. In the United States, 49 CFR Parts 450 to 453 and Public Law 95-208 mandate
compliance with CSC standards.
ISO - International Standards Organization, an international association responsible for developing
global standards and specifications for products, services and practices

transport safer and more efficient (also called freight container, shipping container, hi-cube container,
Conex, or sea can)
International shipping of goods prior to containerization was known as __________. - Break-bulk

,46 US Code (USC) - United States Code (USC) Title 46, Appendix - Shipping, Chapter 34, Safe
Containers for International Cargo, gives the Secretary of Transportation the authority to administer the
International Safe Container Act. It establishes penalties—fines of up to $5,000 per day—for non-
compliance.
49 CFR - 49 CFR is the implementation arm of 46 USC, broken into numerous sections by
subject/purpose.
Parts 450-453 of 49 CFR, SUBCHAPTER B, Safety Approval of Cargo Containers, apply to the use of
containers in international traffic:
DoD Pub DTR 4500.9-R - Defense Transportation Regulation (DTR) 4500.9-R, Part VI imposes
international and federal CSC requirements on containers (commercially-owned or military) transporting
DoD material anywhere in the world.
Chapter 604 of this regulation identifies CSC container inspector certification requirements.
MIL-STD-3037 - Military Standard (MIL-STD) 3037 provides inspection standards for containers
transporting DoD material. It is used by civilian and military container inspectors to ensure compliance
with international and federal inspection and documentation requirements.
, MIL-STD-3037 is the primary reference used by inspectors to conduct CSC container inspections.
Container Inspection Checklists - Inspectors must use a container inspection checklist contained in
MIL-STD-3037 to conduct container inspections.
Standardized inspection checklists are used to ensure that each container inspection is conducted in a
thorough, systematic manner and to clearly document container defects and acceptance or rejection
justification.
DA Form 2404 - DA Form 2404, Equipment and Maintenance Worksheet, is used as a permanent
record of each container inspection. It's filled out by transcribing container inspection information from
the completed container inspection checklist.
Like the inspection checklist, it's a mandatory requirement for every DoD container inspection. Details of
this form will be covered later in this course.
DA Form 2404 can be found in the appendix of DTR 4500.9-R.
DD Form 2282 Decal - The DD Form 2282 decal provides a visual indication that a container is
certified to transport cargo. It also identifies the month and year the next reinspection is due. Details of
this form will be covered later in this course.
