2.14.14 Exemptions from Identification Markings. The exemption referred to in the
DoD 4500.36-R is modified to apply only to exterior markings and identification for Navy
vehicles. Navy vehicles which are exempted from exterior markings shall be identified
by painting the USN registration number on both the underside of the trunk lid and on
the inner side of the glove compartment lid. In lieu of painting, the registration number
may be stamped on a corrosion-resistant metal plate to be affixed to either of these two
prescribed locations. Theater unified commanders are designated to authorize
exemptions for motor vehicles located within their area of responsibility, when
conspicuous identification will endanger the security of individuals or U.S. Government
interests. For CONUS commands, requests for marking exemptions, other than law
enforcement/security vehicles, shall be submitted to the CNO (N46) via command
channels, and the appropriate TEMC. Law enforcement/security vehicle marking
exemptions are discussed in paragraph 2.14.12.
2.14.15 Records of Exempted Vehicles. Each TEMC shall maintain current inventory
records of all administrative use motor vehicles that are authorized exemptions from the
identification and marking provisions of the DoD 4500.36-R.
2.14.16 Removal of Markings. Upon permanent transfer to a disposal agency, or upon
sale to commercial contractors, all Navy markings shall be obliterated or removed from
the equipment prior to removal from an activity's inventory.
2.14.17 Special Markings. All special markings (e.g., work center/shop/division
numbers, environmental message, etc.), not previously prescribed herein or consistent
with marking policies prescribed in DoD 4500.36-R, should be limited to placement at the
location where the vehicle license plate(s) normally would be located. (When license
plates are being used, an additional plate with the special marking, can be suspended
from the front plate only - not the rear.)
a. All BOXCARS used to transport ammunition or explosives shall be painted
with a WHITE EPOXY paint for better heat reflection. Two coats of gloss high reflective
white acrylic urethane enamel, Federal Color No. 27886 or equivalent, shall be applied
over a suitable primer.
