Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-1808C w/CHANGE 1 FOREWORD 1. This standard is approved for use by the Department of the Air Force and is available for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense. 2. In order to provide standardization between publications a standardized numbering system has been developed. It is designed with sufficient flexibility to permit expansion and application outside the technical manual system to support logistics elements that interact with or directly influence equipment maintenance and technical manual development and use. 3. To ensure maximum flexibility, gaps have been left in the system and subsystem numbering sequences.
Manufacturers are encouraged to use the unassigned systems and subsystems to accommodate unique design or emerging technologies when required, as approved by the procuring activity and current acquisition policy. Please provide any changes to the Air Force Technical Manual Specifications and Standards (TMSS) office at the address in step 6 below. 4. As a minimum, this standard is intended to be used in conjunction with MIL-DTL-83495 and MIL-HDBK-863. Additional applications are available as defined in the documents identified in section 2 . 5. The purpose of change 1 is to add a statement describing the proper procedure for requesting use of the unassigned SSSN numbers.
Change 1 also designates chapter 19 to training and chapter 20 to equipment storage, aligning the MIL-STD-1808 with the MIL-DTL-83495. 6.
