• Laundry personnel sort or separate the laundry from mesh bags at the shipping area <strong>and</strong> pack it back<br />
into the individual’s laundry bag(s) <strong>for</strong> individual (or unit) pickup. Items needing repair be<strong>for</strong>e being<br />
returned to individual’s laundry bag(s) are processed by fabric repair specialists.<br />
LAUNDRY PROCESSING PROCEDURES<br />
To implement the individual laundry “wash <strong>and</strong> return” policy (or supporting a bulk or<br />
organizational laundering tasked mission), necessary <strong>procedures</strong> must be taken. To do this, take these<br />
steps --<br />
Set Up Laundry Turn-In Schedules. Be<strong>for</strong>e setting up any new laundry turn-in schedules,<br />
personnel should review historical records, such as checking previously completed DA Forms 4765-R.<br />
See Figure 3-15 (page 3-46). These records will provide the following in<strong>for</strong>mation:<br />
• Number of operating personnel (by job title) processing laundry during each shift.<br />
• Number of hours the shift operated.<br />
• Amount of laundry processed under the previous records. This includes bundles from individuals <strong>and</strong><br />
pieces from organizational, salvage, <strong>and</strong> hospital units.<br />
• Types <strong>and</strong> amounts of supplies used.<br />
Use DA Form 2886. This <strong>for</strong>m is used <strong>for</strong> processing individual laundry. See Figure 3-8. The <strong>for</strong>m<br />
is made up of three copies separated by carbon paper. The disposition of each copy is as follows:<br />
• The first copy is the bundle copy. The soldier, submitting his laundry, fills in this copy, completing the<br />
heading, lists the quantities of each item he wants laundered, <strong>and</strong> puts the copy with his laundry bag. Any<br />
item needing repair (sewing) will be identified as a NOTE at the end of the item description area. The note<br />
should state what needs repairing <strong>and</strong> how many.<br />
• The second copy, the hanger copy, is used only when outer garments, such as field jackets, will be put<br />
on hangers at the laundry. If the soldier is not going to use this copy, he removes it.<br />
NOTE: This “second” copy is usually not used in a field environment.<br />
• The third copy, the patron’s copy, is kept by the soldier who sends the laundry items.<br />
