FOURTH EDITION SDDCTEA PAMPHLET 55-20
Installations may request additional copies. Packing lists are not required for items
that do not need identification (such as empty vehicles, nested cans, or bundled shovels).
However, these items must be listed on the load diagram if loaded in a truck or container.
A packing list is not required for a container already having a list of contents affixed to it,
such as inventories of tools or parts found in supply bulletins. The packing list will be
placed on both the inside and outside of the container. The exception is for sensitive
items. Sensitive items will not be listed on a packing list on the outside of the container.
However, the UMO will notify the ITO that sensitive items are being shipped by
completing a DD Form 1907 (Signature and Tally Record). It will accompany the GBL
to create a “chain-of-custody” IAW DoD Reg 4500.9-R, Part II.
NOTE: DA Form 5748-R, Shipment Unit Packing List and Load Diagram, is an
authorized substitute for DD Form 1750 and FORSCOM Form 285-R.
The following general guidance is provided to assist in completing this form:
1. Block 1 reflects the number of box/boxes (if used asa consolidated list).
2. Block 2a is the vehicle number.
3. Block 2b is the SUN.
4. Block 3 (End item) contains the description of the contents of the container/box/
pallet.
5. Blocks (d), (e), and (f) reflect the “Packs,” “Weight,” and “Total Weight,”
respectively. The Total Weight column is the total for that line only. The “Total
Weight” at the bottom of the form is the cumulative weight of all the contents.
6. The blocking, bracing, packing, crating, and tiedown materials (BBPCT) are
entered under the contents column and the weight added to the total.
7. The description of container and bumper number entries identify the container/
vehicle on which the load is carried.
8. The primary or alternate UMO must certify the load by signing block 6.
