Section III<br />
LAUNDRY SECTION<br />
FM 42-414<br />
In the SLCR section/team, laundry personnel will consist of an appropriate number of personnel to<br />
provide support to a brigade or division/non-division units, using the various M-85 series mobile laundry<br />
units. S/L elements of the SLCR section/team may also be tasked organized to accommodate a particular<br />
strength support requirement.<br />
Composition of Laundry Element. Laundry service allows soldiers to meet The Surgeon<br />
General’s st<strong>and</strong>ard of changing clothes at least every seven days <strong>and</strong> permitting the soldier to turn in up to<br />
15 pounds of dirty laundry per week. This increased capability can be h<strong>and</strong>led with the fielding of the<br />
LADS with its innovated reduced water usage technology. One LADS will replace every two mobile<br />
laundry units; <strong>for</strong> example, two LADS (machines) mounted on a flatbed trailer will replace four M-85<br />
series laundry units.<br />
Per<strong>for</strong>mance of Laundry Element. The laundry element will --<br />
• Process <strong>and</strong> deliver clean laundry to the supported unit within 24 hours, or at a mutually acceptable<br />
time <strong>and</strong> location set by the laundry personnel <strong>and</strong> supported unit.<br />
• Develop contingency plans in the event supported units relocate or METT-TC conditions change<br />
mission operations. Contingency plans may have the supported unit’s supply NCO (or other designated<br />
person) deliver soil laundry, pick up clean laundry, <strong>and</strong> issue clean laundry to the soldier when METT-<br />
TC conditions are favorable (or allowable).<br />
• Coordinate closely with supported unit(s) to set up detailed instructions to supported soldiers on<br />
laundry service <strong>procedures</strong>.<br />
• Provide limited laundry support <strong>for</strong> selected seasonal, special purpose, <strong>and</strong> OCIE. This is in the event<br />
of a light work load in laundry requirements <strong>for</strong> personal clothing. Items in these categories, however, will<br />
be turned in through normal supply channels to the organization in the rear area designated responsible <strong>for</strong><br />
contracting or arranging HNS <strong>for</strong> laundry support.<br />
LAUNDRY SERVICES<br />
As soldiers turn in their soiled clothing, they must identify clothing needing repair. All soiled<br />
clothing is cleaned. Items needing repair are sent to the fabric repair area. Clean clothing <strong>and</strong> repair items<br />
are turned in to the shipping area. In this area, repaired items are matched up with the individual’s (or<br />
unit’s) cleaned laundry <strong>and</strong> returned to the individual soldier <strong>for</strong> pickup or unit pickup. This depends on<br />
arrangements worked out with the supported unit(s) or METT-TC conditions. In<strong>for</strong>mation on clothing<br />
