MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY

listing of hazardous materials giving the load and storage (L/S)
group in the last column. The L/S is a numbered group, within which,
all items may be safely shipped together. Look up the L/S group for
an item being shipped.
Note:
Materials with the term "forbidden" under the
hazard class are forbidden from shipment by
military aircraft.
Check Table A-1 of TM 38-250 (see Table 1-6) to determine which other
L/S groups are compatible. The X in the block of intersection shows
that items may not be shipped together.
