Notes:
Data excludes refrigerated requirements for storage of film, batteries,
medical supplies and other nonsubsistance items.
Pallet quantities and percentages are for use in the absence of other data
based on experience. Assume that each pallet load of subsistence averages
approximately 1 M/T or 40 ft3 (1.1 m3). On the basis of this assumption,
multiplying the pallets required for a 30-day supply by 40 ft3 (1.1 m3)
gives totals of 3,120 and 4,080 ft3 (8813 and 115.5 m3) for daily and
monthly receipts, respectively, required to support 1,000 men for 30 days.
This reconciles with allowances of 3 and 4 ft3 (0.08 and 0.11 m3) per man
per month contained in Refrigerated Warehouse, Category Code 431-10, of NAVFAC
P-80.
