Destruction by Fire

TM 10-1670-277-23&P 0001 00 0001 00-3 Destruction by Fire. Items that can be destroyed by fire shall be burned. The destruction of equipment by use of fire is an effective method of destroying low-melting-point metal items (e.g., side rails, threaded portions of nuts and bolts, and platform sheeting). However, mechanical destruction should be completed first, whenever possible, before initiating destruction by fire. When items to be destroyed are made of metal, textile materials (or some comparable low combustible material) should be packed under and around the items, then soaked with a flammable petroleum product and ignited. Proper concentration of equipment, which is suitable for burning, will provide a hotter and more destructive fire. Destruction By Use of Natural Surroundings. Small vital parts of assemblies, which are easily accessible, may be disposed of as follows: Disposal or denial of equipment to an enemy may be accomplished through use of natural surroundings. Accessible vital parts may be removed and scattered through dense foliage, buried in dirt or sand, or thrown into a lake, or other body of water. Total submersion of equipment in a body of water will provide water damage as well as concealment. Salt water will inflict extensive damage to air delivery equipment.
