NAVFAC EXWC has documented requirements to address shortcomings of the current fleet that at a minimum comply with Military (MIL), American Welding Society (AWS) and Society of American Engineer (SAE) standards for tactical and commercial trailers. Compliance to these government and non-government standards introduces commonality with other military, Department of Defense (DOD), and civilian trailers, allowing fleet and joint operations to utilize the capabilities to their fullest. The trailers will also support operational readiness and functionality in austere conditions. 2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS 2.1 FEDERAL STANDARDS AND CODES Code of Federal Regulations 49 CFR 393 (FMCSR) and 571 (FMVSS) Application for copies of DOT publications should reference the code of Federal Regulations, 49 CFR, and the Federal Register and should be addressed to the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
