How to turn in the ACADA.

Units are turning in the ACADA or its M88 detector without following proper turn-in procedures--and that's causing problems.

Proper turn-in of the ACADA or M88 means it must first meet -10/20 PMCS standards. If it doesn't, the ACADA or M88 can't be reissued to a unit that needs it. And you must include your unit identification and any radiation testing and tracking system (RATTS) transactions.

If your ACADA or M88 does meet -10/20 standards, turn it in as serviceable excess following the FTE document identifier code (DIC) report of excess in AR 725-50, Requisitioning, Receipt, and Issue System.

If for some reason you can't submit an FTE, contact the ACADA item manager listed at the end of this article for instructions.

If your ACADA or M88 can't be repaired locally to meet -10/20 PMCS standards, contact your local warranty POC to check if it's still under warranty. If it is, the warranty POC will give you shipping instructions so you can get the ACADA or M88 repaired for free.

If it's not under warranty, contact the ACADA item manager for instructions on where to send it. You will need to fill out a Contamination Verification Status Report verifying that the ACADA or M88 hasn't been exposed to chemical agent. The item manager will give you the report form.

For questions or shipping instructions, contact the item manager at DSN 793-5680/[phone] or email: [e-mail]

HEY, YOU'RE NOT USING ME, SO WHY DON'T YOU TURN ME IN SO SOME OTHER UNIT CAN LIVE ME SOME WORK?

GOOD IDEA. BUT, I'M NOT SURE HOW I DO THAT.
