X DEFINITIONS AND TERMS 

DEFINITIONS AND TERMS

Aerial Port of Debarkation (APOD). The three-position Air Terminal Identifier Code 

(reference DoD 4500.32-R, MILSTAMP) designates a specific air terminal as the 

overseas place of discharge. 

Change Number. The change number is assigned by DAASO and consists of four 

positions, i.e., a one-position calendar year code and a three-position serial number. 

Clear Text Address. The in-the-clear address of the ship-to and/or the mark-for 

activity identified by the Military Assistance Program Address Code (MAPAC). 

Country/Activity Code. The country and activity codes used in DoD systems to 

identify the country, international organization, or account which is the recipient of 

materiel or services furnished through the MAP Grant Aid or FMS programs (see 

appendix A7). 

Defense Transportation System (DTS). Consists of Military controlled terminal 

facilities, Air Mobility Command (AMC) controlled aircraft, Military Sealift Command 

(MSC) controlled or arranged sealift and Government-controlled air or land 

transportation. 

Delivery Term Code (DTC). A code (prescribed in FMS cases) identifying the point at 

which the responsibility for moving as FMS shipment passes from the United States 

DoD to the purchasing nation or international organization (see appendix A5). 

Effective Date. The five-position ordinal date (two-position year and three-position 

day) when an address change becomes effective. 

Evidence of Shipment. The United States Department of Defense Letter of Offer and 

Acceptance specifies that all Foreign Military Sales (FMS) shipments require proofs of 

shipment, regardless of shipment value. Proof or evidence of shipment is any 

movement document or receipt, duly signed by a carrier representative, which shows 

that the United States has shipped or released the materiel in question to a carrier for 

shipment to the country’s designated representative/freight forwarder. 

FMS Country representative (CR). The designated country official (i.e., Consulate, 

Attache, Director of Movement) duty authorized to control FMS case transactions. 

Freight Forwarder (FF). Any agent designated by a foreign country to receive, 

process, and transship security assistance program materiel/documentation. 

Freight Forwarder Location Code (FFLC). A one-position code to designate which 

location will be used for consignment of shipments and mailing documentation, i.e., 

east, west, or gulf coast location. 
DoD 4000.25-8-M 

11 MARCH 1997 

XI DEFINITIONS AND TERMS 

International Logistics Control office (ILCO). The central Service control point in 

CONUS that monitors requisitions and related transactions for FMS and MAP Grant 

Aid. 

Military Assistance Program Address Code (MAPAC). A six-position alphanumeric 

code used to identify the ship-to and mark-for addresses of FMS and Grant Aid 

shipments and documentation. 

Military Assistance Program Address Directory (MAPAD). A printed listing of in-theclear addresses for each country or international organization. 

Military Assistance Program Address File (MAPAF). An automated file of addresses 

maintained for each country or international organization. 

Offer/Release Option Codes. Methods by which countries participating in the FMS 

program, advise supply sources by coded entry on requisitions whether or not prior 

notice to the CRs or FFs is required before release of materiel shipments. The type of 

offer/release option will be determined as a result of negotiations between the CR and 

the Service at the time the case agreement is reached and will prescribe actions 

required in regard to shipments against the case except when the shipping activity 

determines a need for added protection and/or controls (Security Assistance 

Management Manual (SAMM), DoD 5105.38-M, reference (e)). 

Ordinal Date. A five-position date consisting of the last two digits of the year and the 

day of the year, e.g., 92298 equals 1992, 298th day. 

Proof of Delivery. The term “proof of delivery” is construed to mean “constructive 

delivery” (tender of the materiel to a designated carrier at point of origin). Proof of 

shipment must be obtained for all FMS shipments regardless of shipment size, weight 

or value. Proof of evidence of shipment is any movement document or receipt, signed 

by a carrier representative, which shows that the U.S. Government has shipped or 

released materiel to a carrier for shipment to a customer country’s designated 

representative/freight forwarder. For small parcel FMS shipments, a small package 

carrier receipt or U.S. Postal Service special service receipt -- e.g., 

insured, certified or registered mail -- that shows proof of entry into the transportation 

network will constitute this proof of shipment. Establishment of proof of delivery to a 

country destination is not the responsibility of the U.S. Government under a CCBL. 

The U.S. Government can only provide proof of delivery when movement was 

effected within the Defense Transportation System or other transportation provided 

under U.S. Government auspices. 

Service/Agency Focal Point. An office designated by each Service/Agency to 

maintain liaison with DAASO and the DoD MAPAD System Administrator.

ship-to address for materiel/documentation for shipment moving through the Defense 

Transportation System (DTS). 

Type of Address Code (TAC). A one-position alphabetic or numeric code which 

designates the use of the address (see appendix A4).

C1.5.1.2.1.3.3 Military Service(s) focal points may process request for 

deletion of MAPACs after the following procedures have been used to close all their 

cases associated with the MAPAC: 

C1.5.1.2.1.3.3.1 Query the country for validation of the MAPAC. 

(Note: The query must be approved by the Services' senior country desk officer.) 

C1.5.1.2.1.3.3.2 After 3 months, if there is no response from the 

country, send a second followup to the country, advising that no response will mean an 

automatic deletion from the MAPAD. 

C1.5.1.2.1.3.3.3 If response is not received within 90 days of 

followup, proceed to validate MAPAC with all Service/Agency focal points, reflected in 

paragraph K., below, to ensure that the MAPAC is not required for completion of logistic 

support actions, e.g., requisitioning, billing, discrepancy resolution, etc. 

C1.5.1.2.1.3.3.4 If the responses from the Services/Agencies 

reveal that the MAPAC is not being used, submit request for deletion to the Executive 

Director, Defense Logistics Agency Systems Design Center, Defense Automatic

originate within their organization. Beneficial suggestions will be evaluated initially by 

the focal point. If suggestions are received by the DoD MAPAD System Administrator 

directly for evaluation, they will be forwarded to the appropriate Service/Agency focal 

point for review and evaluation. If the suggestion is considered worthy of adoption, the 

focal point will submit an official change proposal to the DoD MAPAD System 

Administrator, stipulating specific narrative changes to the manual. Such proposed 

changes will be coordinated in the normal manner with awards determined by the focal 

points in accordance with existing procedures. 

C1.5.1.3.1.4 Develop and submit official change proposals to the DoD 

MAPAD System Administrator with justification and expected benefits. 

C1.5.1.3.1.5 Develop and submit to the DoD MAPAD System 

Administrator a single, coordinated Service/Agency position on all system change 

proposals within the time limits specified (normally 60 days) by the DoD MAPAD 

System Administrator. 

C1.5.1.3.2 Implement MAPAD procedures and changes thereto by publishing 

orders, directives, or instructions to ensure clarity of understanding and compliance. 

One copy of such orders, directives, or instructions will be forwarded to the DoD 

MAPAD System Administrator when issued. 

C1.5.1.3.3 Validate/reconcile internal Military Service/MAPAF Sections B and 

C addresses with the MAPAF master file on a continual basis. Each Military Service will 

establish internal MAPAD validation procedures. It is encouraged that each Military 

Service coordinate with their applicable International Logistics Control Office country 

representative and review each address against the MAPAF on a case by case basis. 

Classified Type of Address Codes A and B are not a part of this MAPAD validation and 

will be under the direct control of the DoD MAPAD System Administrator. The MAPAF 

validation add (MA1), revision (MA2), and delete (MA3), transactions are to be 

transmitted to DAASC at any time. During the validation, all MAPAD Grant Aid 

addresses will be validated by the Air Force, all Service Code K MAPAD addresses will 

be validated by the Navy, and all Service Code T MAPAD addresses will be validated by 

the Army. Validation statistics will be provided to the DoD MAPAD System 

Administrator every 2 years, coinciding with the biennial administrative revision to this 

manual. The following validation statistics will be reported along with a statement 

certifying that an internal validation has been completed:

C1.5.1.3.3.1 Total number of MAPACs at the start of validation. 

C1.5.1.3.3.2 Total number of deletes.

C1.7.1 Revisions to the MAPAD result from release or change to DoD 

instructions/directives, policy changes, and by recommendation of the 

Services/Agencies. 

C1.7.2 Recommended proposed changes to section A of the MAPAD will be 

forwarded by the MAPAD focal points authorized in paragraph K., below, to: 

ATTN DIRECTOR DLMSO ROOM 1655 

8725 JOHN J KINGMAN ROAD SUITE 2533 

FORT BELVOIR VA 22060-6221 

for required processing. As a minimum, the recommended change proposals will 

provide the following information: 

C1.7.2.1 A narrative description of the basic concept and the rationale for being 

proposed. 

C1.7.2.2 Known interface and impact requirements identifying changes for 

coordination with other Defense Logistics Standard Systems (DLSS) or non-DLSS. 

C1.7.2.3 Operational statements identifying known advantages/disadvantages 

resulting from the proposed change. 

C1.7.2.4 Proposed wording required for the MAPAD. 

C1.7.3 All proposed change requests will be evaluated by the DoD MAPAD System 

Administrator for accuracy, validity, necessity, and urgency. Changes which impact 

more than one Service/Agency must demonstrate significant inter-Service/Agency 

benefits; otherwise, they will be returned to the originating Service/Agency. Requests 

which do demonstrate significant benefits will be formalized and staffed with the 

participating Services/Agencies and other Administrators of DoD systems which are 

impacted by the proposed change. 

C1.7.4 Formalized proposed MAPAD change letters (PMCLs) will be consecutively 

numbered and will normally request the Services/Agencies to provide a response within 
DoD 4000.25-8-M 

11 MARCH 1997

C1-12 CHAPTER 1 

60 calendar days. Service/Agency focal points will provide a single coordinated 

position on all proposed system changes. Nonreceipt of responses within the specified 

timeframes will result in the DoD MAPAD System Administrator initiating follow-up 

action with the nonresponding Service/Agency. The first followup will be via letter and 

will occur 7 calendar days after the specified response time has elapsed. The second 

followup, if applicable, will occur 30 calendar days after the specified response time has 

elapsed and will be done by a second letter or a meeting between the nonresponding 

Service/Agency and the DoD MAPAD System Administrator. A third followup, if 

applicable, will occur 20 days after the response time (in the second followup) and will 

be by message. If no response to the third followup, concurrence in the proposal, by 

the nonresponding Service/Agency, will be assumed by the DoD MAPAD System 

Administrator. 

C1.7.5 Receiving and Evaluating Service/Agency Responses 

C1.7.5.1 Proposed change letters not receiving complete Service/Agency 

concurrence may require discussion/resolution at a subsequent meeting of the 

designated Service/Agency focal point representatives. 

C1.7.5.2 Issues which involve procedural matters will be resolved by the DoD 

MAPAD System Administrator, normally within 90 calendar days after the receipt of all 

comments from the participating Services/Agencies. 

C1.7.5.3 Matters affecting policy will be referred to DUSD(L) for resolution, 

together with the Service/Agency comments and a recommendation from the DoD 

MAPAD System Administrator. 

C1.7.6 Establishment of Implementation Dates 

C1.7.6.1 Following resolution of the Service/Agency comments on the proposed 

change letter, the DoD MAPAD System Administrator will prepare and disseminate to 

the Service/Agency MAPAD focal points a letter requesting Service/Agency preferred 

implementation date. Such letters will normally request the Service/Agency 

implementation dates be provided within 45 calendar days. Nonreceipt of responses 

within the specified timeframes will result in the DoD MAPAD System Administrator 

initiating follow-up action with the nonresponding Service/Agency. The first followup will 

be via letter and will occur 7 calendar days after the specified response time has 

elapsed. The second followup, if applicable, will occur 30 calendar days after the 

specified response time has elapsed and will be done by a second letter or a meeting 

between the nonresponding Service/Agency and the DoD MAPAD System 

Administrator. A third followup, if applicable, will occur 20 days after the response time 

and will be by message. If no response to the third followup, the implementation date 

will be determined by the dates provided by the responding Services/Agencies. 

C1.7.6.2 In those instances where one Service/Agency proposes an extended 

implementation date which would delay implementation by the other Services/Agencies, 
DoD 4000.25-8-M 

11 MARCH 1997

C1-13 CHAPTER 1 

the DoD MAPAD System Administrator will attempt to resolve the issue with the 

appropriate Service/Agency. In those instances where a satisfactory implementation 

date cannot be jointly agreed upon, the DoD MAPAD System Administrator will forward 

the matter to DUSD(L) for resolution. 

C1.7.7 Announcement of Implementation Dates 

C1.7.7.1 Following the receipt and evaluation of the Service/Agency preferred 

implementation dates, a DoD implementation date will be selected and announced by 

the DoD MAPAD System Administrator through dissemination of a numbered approved 

MAPAD change letter (AMCL). AMCLs will be consecutively numbered and distributed 

to the Service/Agency focal points as early as possible prior to the approved 

implementation date. 

C1.7.7.2 The AMCL is provided as a planning document to assist the Services/ 

Agencies in any system program/design efforts which may be necessary to implement 

the change. 

C1.7.7.3 Separate intra-Service/Agency systems/procedures will not be 

developed or used unless an authorized exception, special process, or delayed 

implementation date has been approved by the DoD MAPAD System Administrator in 

coordination with DUSD(L)MRM. Requests for exceptions or special procedures will be 

forwarded to the DoD MAPAD System Administrator by the MAPAD Service/Agency 

focal point for review and coordination and it shall provide the following minimum 

information: 

C1.7.7.3.1 Narrative description of the basic concept being proposed and 

reason(s) therefore. 

C1.7.7.3.2 Known interface and impact requirement with other DLSS and 

Services/Agencies. 

C1.7.7.3.3 Advantages/disadvantages of request. 

C1.7.7.3.4 Proposed wording. 

C1.7.7.3.5 Starting and ending dates of request. 

C1.7.7.4 Requests for exceptions, special processes, or delayed implementation 

dates will not be granted solely to accommodate existing internal systems and 

procedures. Approved delayed/staggered implementation dates will be provided in 

appendix C. 

C1.7.8 Preparation and Dissemination of Formal and Expedite Changes to the 

MAPAD 

C1.7.8.1 A new basic manual will be published every 2 years. 
DoD 4000.25-8-M 

11 MARCH 1997

C1-14 CHAPTER 1 

C1.7.8.2 Formal changes will be published once a month. Formal changes will 

be numbered consecutively and issued as full page insertions to this directory. These 

changes will indicate the change number on the top of each replacement page, except 

country pages which have the change number and date at the bottom of the page. 

When it is necessary to supplement page changes with explanatory information, such 

explanations will be contained in the cover letter. New or revised material is indicated 

by bold italics and deleted material by bold strike through. 

C1.7.8.3 Sections B and C of the directory will be maintained in sequence by 

country/activity code. Within each country/activity code, the addresses will be 

sequenced by MAPAC and TAC. Changes to the country introduction pages will be 

accomplished, as required, by formal page changes. Changes to the country address 

pages will be accomplished by replacement of all address pages applicable to a specific 

country. 

C1.7.8.4 See page 1-14, paragraph F.2., for Service/Agency contact point 

regarding distribution procedures. 

C1.7.8.5 MAPAD expedite message changes are to be disseminated as they 

occur: 

C1.7.8.5.1 See page 1-14, paragraph F.2., for Service/Agency contact point 

regarding distribution procedures. 

C1.7.8.5.2 MAPAD expedite message changes are to be disseminated as 

they occur: 

C1.7.8.5.3 DAASC will disseminate address changes via narrative messages 

to all AIGs established by the Services/Agencies for this purpose. 

C1.7.8.5.4 DAASC will consecutively number message changes to provide 

the capability for assuring receipt of all changes to the MAPAD. MAPAD expedite 

change numbers will contain the last digit of the calendar year followed by a serial 

number beginning with one. Example: 2001.

C1.7.8.5.5 The text of message changes will be as follows:

C1.7.8.5.5.1 Foreign Military Sales. "The following FMS addresses for 

(name of country or international organization) will be implemented (immediately or 

effective date)." 

MAPAC TAC CLEAR TEXT ADDRESS SII WPOD APOD

C1.7.8.5.5.2 MAP Grant Aid. "The following MAP Grant Aid addresses 

for (name of country or international organization) will be implemented (immediately or 

effective date)." 

MAPAC TAC CLEAR TEXT ADDRESS SII WPOD APOD
DoD 4000.25-8-M 

11 MARCH 1997

C1-15 CHAPTER 1 

C1.7.8.5.6 When required, special instructions for appropriate MAPACs will 

be included in the message. 

C1.8 USE OF MAP ADDRESS CODES IN MILSTRIP 

C1.8.1 Activities that prepare FMS and MAP Grant Aid requisitions must ensure that 

ship-to/mark-for addresses are published in the MAPAD before requisitions are entered 

into the supply system. Conversely, addresses should be deleted only after all logistics 

transactions have been completed, or a cross-reference address has been provided. 

The number of addresses containing SII "A" may be reduced without a cross-reference 

being provided. When shipping activities are unable to select an address or when 

clarification and/or identification of specific ship-to/mark-for addresses is required, the 

appropriate freight forwarder/Service assistance office will provide assistance (see 

paragraph L., below). 

C1.8.2 Instructions for construction and use of MAPACs for FMS shipments are 

contained in chapter 2. 

C1.8.3 Instructions for construction and use of MAPACs for Grant Aid shipments 

are contained in chapter 3.

C1.9 COMPOSITION OF CLEAR TEXT ADDRESSES

C1.9.1 General applications are as follows:

C1.9.1.1 Clear text addresses for each assigned MAPAC will be constructed to 

assure timely and efficient delivery of materiel and documentation in accordance with 

the negotiated delivery conditions of the sales agreement for all FMS MAPACs and 

MAP Grant Aid agreements. 

C1.9.1.2 Each ship-to address will be limited to 7 lines of 35 or fewer positions 

for each line. This restriction is necessary to accommodate the space limitations on 

supply documents, transportation documents, labels, and for standardization in ADP 

programs. 

C1.9.1.3 Addresses will contain no punctuation. Special characters such as 

asterisk (*), ampersand (&), and parentheses will not be used because of various ADP 

equipment used by the Services/Agencies and foreign governments. 

C1.9.1.4 Abbreviations will be used only when they are essential to movement of 

materiel/documents and can be recognized by the Services/Agencies, contractors, or 

foreign government representatives involved. 

C1.9.1.5 Domestic mail addresses will be constructed to include activity name, 

post office box number, street address, city, state, and ZIP + four Code. When the 
DoD 4000.25-8-M 

11 MARCH 1997

C1-16 CHAPTER 1 

address requires additional information (i.e., exceptions), special instructions will be 

included in the introduction to the appropriate country address listing. However, other 

information such as attention lines, may be included in any address line except the 

street address, city, state, or ZIP + four Code line. Post Office box numbers will not be 

accepted for ship-to addresses without SIIs. 

C1.9.1.6 Use of APO/FPO addresses must be specifically authorized by United 

States Department of Defense Letter of Offer and Acceptance. Additionally, their use 

requires the written approval of the addressee, stating that they will accept full 

responsibility for receiving materiel/documentation. Army-Air Force and Fleet Post 

Office addresses will be constructed to include activity name, office symbol or code, 

post office box number, APO/FPO number and Zip + four Code. When the address 

requires additional information (i.e., exceptions), special instructions will be included in 

the introduction to the appropriate country address listing. Other information, such as 

attention lines may be included in any address except the APO/FPO line. 

C1.9.1.7 International mail addresses are not to be used in shipping FMS or 

Grant Aid items unless specifically authorized by United States Department of Defense 

Letter of Offer and Acceptance. 

C1.9.1.8 Use of the Department of State pouch requires the written approval of 

the addressee that they will accept full responsibility for receiving 

materiel/documentation. All addresses for shipping small parcels through the 

Department of State should be constructed as follows: 

Name of Activity (authorized U.S. Government representative located overseas) 

 City (not the country) 

 Department of State 

 Washington, DC 20521-XXXX1

C1.9.1.9 Addresses for distribution of status documents, will not include 

Communication Routing Indicators. (See appendix A4 for address identification.) The 

mail address will be constructed as outlined in subparagraph I.1.e., above. When status 

can be transmitted by electronic means, a second address will be established to identify 

the activity and geographical location so the communication center can select the 

appropriate communication routing indicator. 

C1.9.1.10 Requests for deletion of an MAPAC must indicate that all logistics 

transactions containing the deleted MAPAC have been completed or must furnish 

instructions for processing logistics transactions still in the system. A file maintenance 

delete transaction will be generated for each type address established for the MAPAC 

being deleted. Accordingly, one of the following must be accomplished: 

 

1 See appendix AP9 for appropriate four digits required to complete the address for shipments via DoD 

Diplomatic Pouch Mail. 
DoD 4000.25-8-M 

11 MARCH 1997

C1-17 CHAPTER 1 

C1.9.1.10.1 When addresses for another MAPAC are to be used for 

processing requisitions, the deleted clear text addresses will be replaced with an 

address reference which reads "Deleted. Use MAPAC (insert appropriate code) 

addresses." This will be a TAC 9 (see appendix A4) and will remain in the MAPAD for 5 

years. 

C1.9.1.10.2 When addresses of another MAPAC are not to be used for 

processing logistics transactions, SII "S" will be included in the directory and the clear 

text address field will be blank. Appropriate instructions for addressing outstanding 

transactions must be included in the special instruction portion of the address listing. 

C1.9.2 Foreign Military Sales Address Composition: 

C1.9.2.1 Domestic freight addresses will be constructed to include the name and 

address of the freight forwarder/country representative, street address, city, state, and 

ZIP + four Code. Other information, such as attention lines, can be included on any 

address line other than the street address, or the city, state, and ZIP + four Code lines. 

Addresses containing telephone numbers will be constructed at a request from the 

freight forwarder/country representative for notification by the carrier prior to delivery, 

subject to additional charges. Therefore, all such entries should be closely coordinated 

with the country representative to determine if prior notice and its subsequent charges 

are actually required. 

C1.9.2.2 Mark-for addresses will be constructed to provide for delivery to the 

ultimate consignee. 

C1.9.2.3 When FMS shipments are to be delivered to an overseas port of 

debarkation or delivered to destination, the mark-for address will be used with the 

WPOD or APOD, as appropriate. If the port of debarkation is located in a country other 

than the customer country, the customer must obtain approval authority from the 

transiting country and confirm this authority prior to MAPAD entry. When the shipment 

is made to an APO/FPO address, the mark-for address should be placed on the parcel 

in such a way that it will not be confused with the APO/FPO address. This will avoid the 

possibility of the parcel being inadvertently routed through international mail. 

C1.9.2.4 Addresses for receipt/processing of classified mail or materiel must 

meet the requirement for classification of CONFIDENTIAL or SECRET as prescribed by 

Defense Investigative Service. Addresses for receipt of classified small parcel 

shipments and freight shipments will be published only when approved as prescribed 

herein. Request for publication of these addresses will be accepted from the country 

representative designated in the country introduction page and under circumstances 

described below by a U.S. Service representative. The requests will be submitted to:

requesting the response be made directly to the country representative/U.S. Service 

representative with an information copy provided to the DoD MAPAD System 

Administrator. A copy of this transmittal and the enclosed request for a facility security 

clearance survey will be provided to each Service/Agency MAPAD focal point and the 

requesting country representative/U.S. Service representative. 

C1.9.2.5.2 When Defense Investigative Service determines that a freight 

forwarder (or other intended CONUS recipient) has the capability to receive/store 

materiel classified CONFIDENTIAL/SECRET, the requestor for clearance will be notified 

and an information copy provided to the DoD MAPAD System Administrator. (Appendix 

A4 details how these addresses are identified.) The correspondence directing 

publication of the addresses will cite the letter from the Defense Investigative Service as 

authority. A copy of this correspondence will be provided to each Service/Agency 

MAPAD focal point.

C1.9.2.5.3 When Defense Investigative Service determines that a freight 

forwarder (or other intended CONUS recipient) cannot be cleared or has been found 

incapable of safeguarding classified shipments, the DoD MAPAD System Administrator 

will advise all Service/Agency MAPAD focal points by letter. The requestor for 

clearance will also receive a copy of the letter. 

C1.9.2.5.4 In order for a freight forwarder (or other intended recipient) to 

receive classified shipments for more than one country, a separate request must be 

submitted for each individual country. These requests will be submitted and processed 

as outlined in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above. 

C1.9.3 Map Grant Aid Address 

C1.9.3.1 When a small parcel shipment is not acceptable to the authorized U.S. 

Government representative located overseas, as indicated by the absence of a TAC 1 

address, materiel will be shipped to the freight address (TAC 2). 

C1.9.3.2 An international mail address may be used when an APO/FPO does 

not operate but must be specifically authorized by United States Department of Defense 

Letter of Offer and Acceptance. 

C1.9.3.3 The clear text address column will normally be blank for a TAC 2 

address. The appropriate WPOD or APOD will be used with the TAC M address for this 

MAPAC to consign materiel shipments. The TAC 2 clear text address field will contain 
DoD 4000.25-8-M

the name and geographical location of the civil airport to be used for commercial air 

shipments if commercial air is authorized. The APOD field will contain the threeposition air terminal identifier code for the airport to be used for delivery of materiel by 

U.S. Military aircraft. The WPOD field will contain the appropriate three-position water 

port designator code in accordance with DoD 4500.32-R, Vol. I (MILSTAMP).

C1.9.3.4 The TAC M address will be constructed to assure efficient delivery of 

materiel after reaching the WPOD or APOD. 

C1.10 MAPAD AUTOMATED FILES

C1.10.1 The address listing for each country in sections B and C includes an 

introduction which will contain special instructions and cargo exceptions for FMS and 

Map Grant Aid addresses. When special instructions apply to the address, the 

appropriate SII will be entered in the SII column of the address listing. A manual 

reference to the introduction of the appropriate country address listing is required prior 

to using the address in an automated address file or before manually selecting an 

address from the printed directory. The addresses for FMS country representatives will 

also be included in the introduction to provide a source of contact when there are 

problems between the shipping activity and freight forwarder. 

C1.10.2 The automated file enables automated and manually operated 

Service/Agency activities to be routinely informed of current changes to the master file. 

To assure the most current information is made available to those activities having a 

recurring operational requirement for the address data, all Services/Agencies should 

take full advantage of this feature. 

C1.10.2.1 Services/Agencies requiring the automated address file for processing 

of documentation under the Defense Logistics Standard Systems or for expeditious 

dissemination of data to activities with manual operations will request the file from 

DAASC. Subsequent changes which are accepted for incorporation into the address 

file will be distributed to designated Service/Agency activities by DAASC using formats 

prescribed in appendix B. 

C1.10.2.2 Transmission of transaction changes from DAASC to the designated 

Service/Agency activities will be by electrical transmission using content indicator IHAF. 

A separate transaction will be made for each MAPAC and TAC that is to be added, 

revised, or deleted. The document identifier code will identify the action to be taken on 

the assigned effective/deletion date. Formats are in appendix B. 

C1.10.2.3 Transmission of automated changes between Service/Agency 

Activities will be accomplished by established electrical data communications media to 

ensure timely distribution of current information. Details concerning transmission of 

data via such means will be coordinated by the activities involved. When there is no

C2. CHAPTER 2

FOREIGN MILITARY SALES (FMS)

CONSTRUCTION AND USE OF ADDRESS CODES FOR 

FMS SHIPMENTS

C2.1 FMS SHIPMENT BACKGROUND AND GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The FMS Pregram is defined as that portion of the United States Security Assistance 

Program under which the recipient provides reimbursement for defense articles and 

se~'ces. It is authorized by the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (reference 

(g)) and the Arms Export Control Act of 1976, as amended (reference (h)). All FMS 

shipments are a result of a negotiated agreement between the U.S. Government and 

the Government of the purchasing country (reference (e)). 

FMS requisitions have been designed to be processed in the same manner as DoD 

logistics transactions; however, there are some instances where they will differ, i.e., 

construction of MILSTRIP requisition document numbers and the use of supplementary 

addresses. The following are general instructions used in shipping FMS materiel: 

C2.1.1.1 There will be circumstances when deviations to the shipping 

instructions contained in the requisition will be authorized; however, the original 

requisition will not be changed. a. An examp[e of a deviation is when a shipment, originally 

scheduled for delivery to a freight forwarder, is redirected into the DTS system for direct delivery 

to an overseas location. 

C2.1.1.2 To use the MAPAD to find in-the-clear, ship-to and mark-for addresses, 

both the MiLSTRIP requisition document number and the supplementary address will be 

used. The addresses are listed in section B of the MAPAD by codes known as 

MAPACs, which are constructed from selected elements found in MILSTRIP data fields. 

There are two very important factors to remember when constructing an MAPAC: 

C2.1.1.2.1 The requisition numbers for FMS are not constructed the same 

way requisitions are constructed for the Services/Agencies. 

C2.1.1.2.2 The first six positions of the requisition number cannot be 

considered to be the same as a DoDAAC. 

C2.1.1.3 Because Canada has no freight forwarders in the United States, the 

construction of their MAPACs is an exception to the rule. Refer to paragraph E., below, 

for construction of Canadian MAPACs. 
DoD 4000.25-8-M 

11 MARCH 1997 

C2-2 CHAPTER 2 

C2.1.1.4 FMS items shall be shipped by a carrier that can provide evidence of 

shipment or proof of delivery in compliance with DoD 4510.32-R (reference (b)).1

C2.1.1.5 Regulations, such as the DoD Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement (DFARS) Volume III, Appendix F, Material Inspection and Receiving Repod 

(reference (i)), for procurement documents and independent service requirements, 

mandate that the elements listed below be provided on shipping documents for use by 

the freight forwarder. The freight forwarders use this information to obtain insurance, 

and identify the materiel for the export license. Every effort should be made to ensure 

that the following information is provided on shipping documents. 

C2.1.1.5.1 MILSTRIP Requisition Document Number 

C2.1.1.5.2 FMS Case Identifier Number 

C2.1.1.5.3 Unit Price/Total Price 

C2.1.1.5.4 Quantity 

C2.1.1.5.5 National Stock Number/Part NumbedDescription 

C2.1.1.5.6 Project Code (if applicable) 

C2.1.1.6 The MAPAD section B format for the country pages begins with the 

page showing the designated country representatives for each Military Service of that 

specific country/international organization. Next are the clear text special instructions (if 

applicable). This is followed by in-the-clear addresses for the country's freight 

forwarders or customer recipient of the materiel, and the final in-country destination. 

C2.1.1.7 There are frequent changes to the MAPAD and the impodance of 

keeping the directory up-to-date cannot be stressed enough. The expedited message 

changes are sequentially numbered for ease in monitoring the latest messages and 

knowing if any are missing. A register (optional format) is to be maintained at the front of 

this directory to list expedite changes as they are received. Your freight 

forwarder/Service assistance office can provide the date-time-group (DTG) of the 

message to assist in obtaining a missing message from your communications center. 

C2.1.1.8 Priorir to selecting the appropriate address; the shipper mus consider 

shipment size, destination, classification, type of materiel, deliver term code, and 

priority.

C2.3 MILSTRIP DATA ELEMENTS USED TO CONSTRUCT MAPACS

There are only five data fields that are required within FMS to construct a shp-toMAPAC and a mark-for MAPAC. These data elements are taken from both the 

MILSTRIP requisitions document number and supplementary address (see appendix 

A6). An MAPAC must have six positions for the purpose of integrating thecode into 

the Service/Agencies logistics systems. This is accomplished by zero filling th 

enonsignificant record positions (rp). Listed below are the five MILSTRIP data 

elements that are used to construct the FMS ship-to and mark-for MAPACs. 

C2.3.1.1 Requisition Document Number: 

C2.3.1.1.1 RPs 31-32, the second and third positions, will contain the 

country/international organization codes (see appendix A7). Country codes are shown 

by alpha characters. International organizations are shown with an alpha in rp 31 and a 

numeric in rp 32. 

C2.3.1.1.2 RP 33, the fourth position, will contain the mark-for code. The 

alpha/numeric code indicates the final destination address of the material (MILSTRIP 

reference (c)). When the country does not identify a valid mark-for code, a numeric 

zero will be reflected in rp 33. 

C2.3.1.2 Supplementary address: 

C2.3.1.2.1 RP 45, the first position, will contain the code designating the 

customer country’s requisitioning Service. B= Army; P= Navy; D= Air Force; K= Marine 

Corps; T= other than Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps. RP 30 (first position of 

the requisition number) usually contains these same Service codes. The difference is 

that rp 30 indicates the U.S. Military Service that manages or is responsible for tha 

FMS case. In constructing MAPACs for the ship-to and mark-for address, only the 

customer country’s Service code (rp 45) will be used. The U.S. Service code (rp 30) will 

be used to reflect the appropriate freight forwarder/Service assistance office if any 

problems arise (see Chapter 1, paragraph L). It is possible for rps 30 and 45 to have 

different Service codes. For example, if the requisition numbe begins with BATL4V and 

the supplementary address is DA2KBM, the shipper would use the “D” (customer 
DoD 4000.25-8-M 

11 MARCH 1997 

C2-4 CHAPTER 2 

country’s Air Force code) from the supplementary address to construct the shipto/mark-for MAPACs; but would contat the U.S. Army (“B”) for assistance, if required. 

C2.3.1.2.2 RP 47, the third position, will contain an alpha/numeric code to 

designate the customer country’s freight forwarder or designated recipient of materiel. 

C2.3.1.2.2.1 If code X appears in rp 47,the shipment is to be made 

through the DTS to a designated address with no freight forwarder involvement. This 

address can be identifiedby the use of rp 33 to construct the MAPAC. Shipments 

moving through AMC/MTMC/MSC must hav an in-the-clear address or mark-for code. 

For example, if movement is via AMC/MTMC/MSC and there is a numeric zero in rp 33, 

the in-the-clear address or customer cod must be obtained prior to shipment. Contact 

your appropriate freight forwarder/Service assistance office for this information. 

C2.3.1.2.2.2 If code W appears in rp 47, the shipment is to be made to an 

intermediate point (e.e., an item being shipped to a facility for calibration prior to final 

delivery to country) and the in-the-clear address will be provided. If the in-the-clear 

address is not provided, the shipper must call the freight forwarder/Service assistance 

office for the in-the-clear address or appropriate code. 

C2.4 CONSTRUCTION OF MAPACS

The ship-to CONUS MAPAC is constructed by taking the code in rp 45 (FMS country’s 

Military Service); rps 31 and 32 (two-digit code to identify the country/international 

organization (see appendix A7); next, add two zeros (the nonsignificant record 

positionas explaned in C2.3.1 above) and then reflect rp 47 (the freight 

forwarder/designated representative code). 

The mark-for MAPAC is constructed by taking the code in RP 45 (FMS country's Military 

Service); RPs 31 and 32 (two-digit code to identify the country/international organization 

(see appendix A7)); RP 33 (the code identifying the final destination of the materiel); 

and then add two zeros (the nonsignificant record positions). 
DoD 4000.25-8-M

At figure 2-2 is an example of how the ship-to and mark-for MAPACs are constructed 

and how important is the placement of the zeros for the nonsignificant record positions.

C2.5 CONSTRUCTION OF CANADIAN MAPACs

Since Canada has no freight forwarders in the CONUS, their ship-to and mark-for 

addresses are the same; therefore, shipments are made directly to the in-country 

destination point. Because of this, the Canadian requisition number and supplementary 

addresses are different to accommodate the unique construction of their MAPACs. To 

construct a Canadian MAPAC, use the Service code from RP 45 (the first position of the 

supplementary address); next RPs 31 and 32 (two-digit country code); next RP 33 (zero 

filled); and finally, RPs 46 and 47 from the supplementary address. (See figure 2-4.)

TYPE OF ADDRESS CODES (TACs) 
DoD 4000.25-8-M 

11 MARCH 1997 

C2-8 CHAPTER 2 

C2.6 TYPE OF ADDRESS CODES (TACs)

The type of address codes (TACs) (see appendix A4) as used in this directory identifies 

the type of address to be used in the shipment/distribution of materiel/documentation. 

(This is to differentiate between the use of TAC as an acronym in other DoD 

publications.) There are 13 TACs listed in appendix A4; however, not all of the TACs will 

be used in the MAPAD at the same time, but in combination. The user will determine 

what combination of TACs is appropriate. 

The following is a brief description of 9 of the 13 TACs (see paragraph M below for the 4 

remaining TACs to be used in shipping classified materiel): 

TAC SUMMARY EXPLANITION 

M A clear text mark-for address 

1 

Unclassified materiel moving by small parcel carrier to a CONUS/OCONUS 

destination must be shipped by a carrier that can provide evidence of 

shipment or proof of delivery in compliance with DoD 4500.32-R (reference 

(b)).2

2 

Unclassified materiel moving by surface or air freight carrier must be shipped 

by a carrier that can provide evidence of shipment or proof of delivery in 

compliance with DoD 4500.32-R (reference (b)).3

3 For sending a Notice of Availability (NOA), if required. (See paragraph M 

below for classified shipment.) 

4 For sending supply and shipment status. 

5 

For sending copies of the release/receipt documents containing the shipment 

information on TAC 1 shipments; and will only be published if different from 

TAC 1. 

6 For sending copies of the release/receipt documents and bills of lading on 

TAC 2 shipments; and will only be published if different from TAC 2. 

7 Identifies address to receive billing other than the ship-to address. (When 

this TAC is used, the nor recourse claim in section 7 of a CBL is executed). 

9 Identifies a deleted MAPAC and will indicate the MAPAC to be used. 

C2.7 SPECIAL INSTRUCTION INDICATORS (SIIs)

SIIs are coded in the SII column to indicate instructions to be used in shipping materiel 

or sending documentation to a particular address. (See appendix A3.) 

Only the SII "S" will be shown in clear text or narrative form. This information is listed at 

the beginning of each country section. The clear text SIIs are a means by which 

customer countries place their unique requirements in the MAPAD; such as political

These codes indicate the water port or airport of dischargeto which FMS shipments 

will be sent under DTSs 6, 7, and 9 (see appendix A5). The shipments will be 

moved through the DTS to the in-country ports. In the case of DTCs 6 and 9, port 

personnel will notify the ultimate consignee to pick up the materiel or make 

arrangements for delivery of the shipment to its destination. In the case of DTC , the

C2-10 CHAPTER 2 

U.S. Government is obligated to transport the materiel to the customer’s in-country 

mark-for address. 

C2.9 EFFECTIVE DATE AND DELETION DATE 

This is a date when the MAPAC is effective and/or the date it is deleted. 

C2.10 OFFER/RELEASE OPTION CODE

The MILSTRIP data elements outlined in paragraph C above were those elements 

required to construct MAPACs. However, there are additional elements to be used in 

the movement of FMS materiel. RP 46, the second position of the supplementary 

address, is called the offer/release option code and identifies whether or not an NOA is 

needed prior to shipment. See paragraph M., below for instructions on shipping classified 

materiel. 

If RP 46 shows an alpha "A," the shipment will be released automatically to the freight 

forwarder or designated recipient of the materiel. This means the shipment should not 

be classified, sensitive, hazardous, explosive, oversized, over 20,000 pounds gross 

weight, and needs no special handling. Review individual Service regulations for 

additional requirements in using NOAs. When the requisition is constructed and entered 

into the supply system, the exact size of an item or what the quantity will be at the time 

of actual shipment may be unknown. For example, there is a possibility a shipper could 

have an "A" code in RP 46 and the shipment is moving in a truckload lot. If this should 

happen, disregard the "automatic" shipment code and send the TAC 3 address an NOA 

under the guidelines of a code "Y" (see subparagraph 3 below) because the 

offer/release code "A" is not absolute. 

When Rp 46 contains an alpha "Y," the shipment cannot be released until an NOA is 

forwarded to the TAC 3 address. If a reply to the NOA is not received within 15 days 

from the date of the notice, the shipment will be released to the appropriate TAC 2 

address with no further action by the shipper. 

When RP 46 contains an alpha "Z," an NOA will be forwarded to the TAC 3 address; 

however, shipment will not be made until a response from the NOA is received. If no 

response has been received in 15 days, a followup will be sent. If no response is 

received within 15 days of the followup, the appropriate U.S. Service, as identified in RP 

30 of the requisition, will be notified. (See chapter 1, paragraph L.) 

A code "X" in RP 46 means the United States is responsible for transportation and no 

NOA is required. 

C2.11 DELIVERY TERM CODES (DTCs)

Delivery term codes identify DoD's and the purchasing country's responsibility for 

transportation and handling costs. Subparagraph a., below is a summary of those 

responsibilities for shipments originating in the CONUS. Subparagraph b, below, is a 

summary of the responsibilities for shipments of reparables originating overseas, 

moving to the CONUS, and returning overseas.

C2.12 PRIORITIES

FMS customer countries are assigned Force Activity Designator (FAD) codes the same as 

the Services/Agencies. FMS materiel will be transported in accordance with all the requirements 

and conditions of the UMMIPS, DoDD 4410.6 (reference (f)) and MILSTAMP, DoD 4500.32-R 

(reference (b)). 

C2.13 CLASSIFIED SHIPMENTS 

FMS classified shipments will be moved utilizing a carrier that is authorized by MTMC to 

transport classified shipments. These shipments will be handled under all conditions 

and requirements governing the movement of US. Government classified materiel, DoD 

5200,1-R (reference (d)). 

The following additional conditions apply: 

C2.13.1.1 Requisitions that contain a DTC 4 or 8 will require an NOA. The NOA 

will be sent to the country representative listed on the first page of each country section. 

For Canadian shipments, the NOA will be sent to the TAC 3 address. 
DoD 4000.25-8-M 

11 MARCH 1997 

C2-12 CHAPTER 2 

C2.13.1.2 Requisitions for classified items which contain DTCs 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, or 9 

should be entered into the DTS for movement and do not require an NOA. 

C2.13.1.3 There are many freight forwarders that have been identified by the 

DIS as authorized to receive classified materiel. These freight forwarders are identified 

by the TACs A, B, C, and D. If these TACs are not listed classified materiel will not be 

released to that freight forwarder. 

The following is a summary of the TACs to be used in moving classified materiel: (See 

appendix A4 for a detailed explanation of these TACs.) 

TAC SUMMERY EXPLANITION 

A Material classified SECRET moving by small parcel carrier must be shipped by a carrier that can provide evidence of shipment or

proof of delivery in compliance with MILSTAMP, DoD 4500.32-R (reference (b)).4

B Material classified SECRET moving by surface or air freight carrier must be shipped by a carrier that can provide evidence of 

shipment or proof of delivery in compliance with (reference (b)).5

C Material classified CONFIDENTIAL moving by small parcel carrier must be shipped by a carrier that can provide evidence of 

shipment or proof of delivery in compliance with (reference (b)).6

D Material classified CONFIDENTIAL moving by surface or air freight carrier must be shipped by a carrier that can provide 

evidence of shipment or proof of delivery in compliance with (reference (b)).7

The shipper must send the NOA to the country representative as indicated in the 

appropriate country introduction page. Shipments of classified materiel must not be 

moved until the following conditions have been met: 

C2.13.1.4 Identification of a cleared facility. 

C2.13.1.5 Identification of an authorized designated representative of that 

country.

CONSTRUCTION AND USE OF ADDRESS CODES

FOR MAP GRANT AID SHIPMENTS

C3.1 GRANT AID SHIPMENT BACKGROUND AND GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 

C3.1.1 The Grant Aid Program is defined as that portion of the United States 

Security Assistance Program which provides defense articles and services to recipients 

on a nonreimbursable or grant basis. MAP Grant Aid is authorized by the Foreign 

Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (reference (g)). 

C3.1.2 The following general instructions are to be used to ship Grant Aid items: 

C3.1.2.1 Grant Aid shipments are normally moved through the DTS so there is 

no requirement for an NOA. 

C3.1.2.2 There are generally no freight forwarders involved in Grant Aid 

shipments. 

C3.1.2.3 For Grant Aid shipments, data elements from the MILSTRIP requisition 

document number and first position of the supplementary address will be used for both 

the ship-to and mark-for MAPACs. 

C3.2 MILSTRIP DATA ELEMENTS USED TO CONSTRUCT MAPACs 

C3.2.1 There are significant differences between constructing FMS and Grant Aid 

MAPACs. For Grant Aid there are only three data elements in the MILSTRIP requisition 

that are required to construct the MAPAC. With Grant Aid requisitions, as with FMS, the 

MAPACs must contain six positions in order to be integrated into the U.S. DoD logistics 

systems. 

C3.2.2 Listed below are the data elements to be used to construct the ship-to/markfor MAPACs: 

C3.2.2.1 Requisition Document Number: 

C3.2.2.1.1 RPs 31-32, second and third positions, will contain the country 

code. (See appendix A7.) 

C3.2.2.1.2 RP 33, fourth position, will contain the mark-for code. 
DoD 4000.25-8-M 

11 MARCH 1997 

C3-2 CHAPTER 3 

C3.2.2.2 Supplementary Address: 

Unlike FMS, the Grant Aid supplementary address will always contain alpha code 

"Y" in RP 45. However, in locating the MAPACs in this directory, the "Y" code will be 

converted to an "X." RP 30, first position of the requisition document number, will still 

show the appropriate code to indicate the U.S. Military Service managing the case. 

These codes are: B = Army; D = Air Force; P = Navy; K = Marine Corps; T = other 

than Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps. 

C3.3 CONSTRUCTION OF MAPACs 

 The ship-to/mark-for MAPAC is constructed by taking the "Y" code in RP 45 and 

converting it to an "X"; RPs 31-32 (two-digit country code); and RP 33 (final destination 

address); and then add two zeros (non-significant record positions). Use figure 3-1 as 

an example of how the ship-to/mark-for MAPACs are constructed.

C3.4 TYPE OF ADDRESS CODES (TACs) 

 When making Grant Aid shipments, only five "type of address" codes will be utilized: 

TAC SUMMARY EXPLANATION

M Clear text mark-for address. 

1 

Small parcel carrier ship-to address must be shipped by a carrier that can provide evidence of shipment or 

proof of delivery in compliance with SAAM, DoD 5105.38-M (reference (e)). 

2 

Surface freight or air carrier ship-to address must be shipped by a carrier that can provide evidence of 

shipment or proof of delivery in compliance with reference (e). 

3 Supply shipment status information. 

9 Indicates a cross-reference MAPAC for deleted MAPAC. 

C3.5 SPECIAL INSTRUCTION INDICATORS (SIIs) X 

C3.5.1 SIIs are coded in the SII column to indicate instructions to be used in 

shipping materiel or sending documentation to a particular country. (See appendix A3.) 

C3.5.2 Only the SII "S" will be shown in clear text or narrative form. This 

information is listed at the beginning of each country section. These instructions must 

be adhered to by the shipper. The appropriate freight forwarder/Service assistance 

office must be contacted if problems arise in executing the specific SII. (See chapter 1, 

paragraph L.) 

C3.6 WATER AND AERIAL PORTS OF DEBARKATION CODES 

 Grant Aid shipments will move through the DTS to Grant the in-country ports of 

discharge. DoD personnel at those ports will notify the ultimate consignee to pick up 

the materiel or make arrangements for delivery of the shipment to its destination. 

C3.7 EFFECTIVE DATE AND DELETION DATE

This is a date when the MAPAC is effective and/or the date it is to be deleted. 

C3.8 DELIVERY TERM CODES (DTCs)

 There are no DTCs that apply to Grant Aid shipments. The U.S. Government is 

responsible from point of origin to delivery of materiel to port of discharge overseas. RP 

35 will always contain a numeric zero. 

C3.9 PRIORITIES

 Grant Aid shipments will be transported in accordance with the requirements and 

conditions of UMMIPS, DoDD 4410.6, (reference (f)) and MILSTAMP, DoD 4500.32-R 

(reference (b)). 

C3.10 CLASSIFIED SHIPMENTS

Grant Aid classified shipments will be moved utilizing a carrier that is authorized by 

MTMC to transport classified shipments. These shipments will be handled in 

accordance with all conditions and requirements governing the movement of U.S.

Government classified materiel, DoD 5200.1-R (reference (d)). Upon arrival at the 

overseas port the appropriate government to government transfer procedures will be 

implemented.

TAC Explanation

A This address, on approval by the proper authority, will receive classified small parcel shipments. 

The documentation (except NOA) for classified small parcel shipments will be sent to the same 

address as the shipment unless specific instructions are provided by the Services/Agencies. 

(Note: All TAC A addresses listed in this directory are cleared to receive/process shipments 

classified through SECRET.) 

B This address, on approval by the proper authority, will be used when surface or air freight is 

selected as the mode of transportation for shipment of classified materiel. The commercial 

(collect) bill of lading (CCBL)/Government bill of lading (GBL) for a classified freight shipment will 

be sent to the same address as the shipment unless other specific instructions are provided by 

the Services/Agencies. (Note: TAC B addresses listed in this directory are cleared to 

receive/process shipments classified through SECRET.) 

C This address, on approval by the proper authority, will receive classified small parcel shipments. 

The documentation (except NOA) for classified small parcel shipments will be sent to the same 

address as the shipment unless specific instructions are provided by the Services/Agencies. 

(Note: All TAC C addresses listed in this directory are cleared to receive/process classified 

through CONFIDENTIAL.) 

D This address, on approval by the proper authority, will be used when surface or air freight is 

selected as the mode of transportation for shipment of classified materiel. The commercial bill of 

lading (CBL)/Government bill of lading (GBL) for a classified freight shipment will be sent to the 

address as the shipment unless other specific instructions are provided by the 

Services/Agencies. (Note: All TAC D addresses listed in this directory are cleared to 

receive/process shipments classified through CONFIDENTIAL.) 

E-L Reserved. 

M This address will be used as a mark-for on freight shipments. Mark-for addresses will be placed 

on small parcel labels in such a manner as to prevent small package carrier problems in 

identifying ZIP and APO/FPO codes. The fourth position of the MAPAC will contain an 

alphanumeric code to designate an in-country destination. This code will be the same as the 

code in RP 33 for the MILSTRIP requisition. 

N-Z Reserved. 
DoD 4000.25-8-M 

11 MARCH 1997 

AP1.4-2 APPENDIX 1.4 

1 This address will receive unclassified shipments moving by small parcel carrier or shipped by 

carrier that can provide evidence of shipment or proof of delivery in compliance with MILSTAMP, 

DoD 4500.32-R (reference (b)). Packages moving through the State Department pouch room 

will not exceed 40 pounds, 26 inches length, or 62 inches length plus girth. For additional 

guidance on use of diplomatic pouch mail see chapter 1, paragraph 1.h. TAC 5 is the same 

address as TAC 1 unless published differently. 

2 This address will be used when surface or air freight is selected as the mode of transportation for 

shipment of unclassified materiel. Note that more than one TAC 2 address may be reflected for 

the same freight forwarder MAPAC. In this case, the MAPAD will contain an SII code “A” which 

directs forwarding of the material/documentation to the address closest to the shipping activity. 

The clear text address field may contain the overseas address of the civil airport to be used for 

commercial air shipments if commercial air is authorized. TAC 6 is the same as TAC 2 unless 

published differently. 

3 This address will be used when the option code (Y or Z in RP 46 of the requisition) requires an 

NOA prior to shipment. For Option Code Z, followups on NOA will also be sent to this address. 

Option Code A shipments which are of weight or dimensions which could cause 

receiving/storage problems, or perishable, hazardous, classified, or require special handling will 

be handled as Option Code Z because of the peculiar handling/controlled nature required by the 

type of materiel being shipped. For a classified shipment, send the NOA to the receiving country 

Service representative. In response to the NOA, the country representative must specify, by 

name, the person who will receive and sign for the shipment at the TAC, A, B, C, or D address. 

But, should there be no reply to the followup, the Service focal point will be advised of the 

problem for Army and Air Force sponsored shipments; the Navy Freight Forwarder Assistance 

Office will be advised for Navy and Marine Corps sponsored shipments. If the address provided 

by the country representative to receive a classified shipment is other than a TAC A, B, C, or D 

address, the Service focal point will be contacted for guidance. The MTMC will contact the 

country representative for coordination in processing export release requests for classified 

materiel moving under a Delivery Term Code 8. The applicable freight forwarder will also be 

contacted by MTMC for coordination in processing export release requests for sensitive materiel 

moving under a Delivery Term Code 8. 

4 This address will be used for distribution of supply and shipment status documents. Addresses 

may be listed for forwarding documents by mail or electronic transmission. SII “D” indicates the 

address to be used for forwarding documents by electronic transmission.

7 This address will be used to identify the activity responsible for payment of transportation 

charges for shipments made on collect commercial bills of lading or other types of collection 

delivery methods. The TAC 7 address will be established only when TACs A, B, C, D, 1, and 2 

addresses (ship-to) are not authorized to make such payments (the freight forwarder is permitted 

to change this address as long as it remains within the freight forwarder’s operation). 

8 Reserved. 

9 TAC 9 indicated that the addresses for this MAPAC have been deleted; however, the MAPAC 

will remain in the directory to provide a reference to another MAPAC which will be used in 

processing documents that contain the deleted code. It can also provide reference to special 

instructions for processing documents containing the deleted MAPAC. The deleted entry will 

remain in the MAPAD for a period of 5 years. 

MAP GRANT AID 

TAC EXPLANATION 

A-L Reserved. 

M TAC M identifies that clear text mark-for address which will be used on freight shipments. Markfor addresses will be placed on small parcel labels in such a manner as to prevent post office 

problems in identifying ZIP and APO/FPO codes. The fourth position of the MAPAC will contain 

an alphabetic or numeric code to designate the mark-for address. This code will be the same as 

the code in RP 33 of the MILSTRIP requisition. 

N-Z Reserved. 

1 This address will receive shipments moving by a carrier that can provide evidence of shipment or 

proof of delivery in compliance with MILSTAMP, DoD 4500.32-R (reference (b)). Because Grant 

Aid materiel moves by DTS, shipments of both classified and unclassified materiel is included. 

2 The WPOD and APOD codes will be used to obtain the appropriate destination when surface or 

air freight is selected as the transportation mode. In addition to the selected destination, the TAC 

M address will be used as a mark-for address to consign materiel shipments. The clear text 

address field will contain the name and geographical location of the civil airport to be used for 

commercial air shipments if commercial air is authorized. 

3 This address will be used for distribution of supply status, shipment status documents, and 

copies of release/receipt document. Addresses may be listed for forwarding documents by mail 

and/or electronic transmission. When SII “D” is used, indicating documents should be forwarded 

by electronic transmission, a mail address will also be included for distribution of copies of 

release/receipt documents and other documents not readily transmitted by electronic 

transmission, and for distribution of all documents in the event of a MINIMIZE. 

9 TAC 9 indicates that the addresses for this MAPAC have been deleted; however, the MAPAC 

will remain in the directory to provide a reference to another MAPAC which will be used in 

processing documents that contain the deleted MAPAC. It can also provide a reference to 

special instructions for processing documents containing the deleted code. The deleted entry will 

remain in the MAPAD for a period of 5 years.

TYPE OF CODE: Alphanumeric. 

EXPLANATION: Designates DoD/purchasing country’s responsibility for transportation and 

handling cost. 

 a. Detailed explanation of DoD responsibility for CONUS originated FMS shipments. 

DTC EXPLANATION 

2 Delivery to an inland destination with origin and destination in CONUS or origin and destination 

in the same overseas geographic area. The DoD is responsible for transportation to the 

specified destination at which the customer is responsible for unloading, accepting custody, and 

subsequent onward movement. Expenses to DoD for accessorial costs are reimbursable. This 

code, which has limited use, is normally associated with shipments such as training items sent to 

DoD Activities foreign officers or excess materiel of one country filling a requirement of another 

country in the same geographic area. 

3 Delivery to a point alongside vessel or aircraft at the POE (FAS), port of embarkation (FAS 

POE). The DoD is responsible for transportation to a point within reach of the ship’s tackle or 

alongside the vessel/aircraft. The customer is responsible for loading aboard the vessel/aircraft 

and subsequent onward movement. Expenses to DoD for accessorial costs are reimbursable. 

This code has limited use. 

4 Delivery at the origin. The materiel is made available to the customer at the point of origin 

(usually a depot, vendor’s loading dock, or a disposal activity). The customer is responsible for 

all transportation and related costs. Accordingly, the shipment is sent to a freight forwarder 

designated by the customer with transportation by prepaid parcel post, on a CBL prepaid by the 

freight forwarder, or paid for on a collect CBL. (If a TAC 7 address is listed for the MAPAC, a 

CBL is issued and “billed to” that address rather than sending the shipment collect.) This code is 

considered the standard code and is applied to most FMS transactions. Offshore procurement. 

Delivery at origin if customer has provided point to contact for the offshore procured items. If no 

point of contact is provided, delivery will be at destination. Contractor is responsible for 

movement to designated freight forwarder or country representative. 

5 Delivery to a POE (free on board (FOB)). DoD is responsible for movement to the POE. The 

customer is responsible for unloading the shipment from the inland carrier at the POE, delivery 

alongside the vessel/aircraft, and all subsequent onward movement. Expenses to DoD for 

accessorial costs are reimbursable. This code has limited use and is applied only when prior 

arrangements for the use of port facilities at the customer’s expense have been made.

handling, and subsequent onward movement. Expenses to DoD for accessorial costs are 

reimbursable. Shipments are made on GBLs and in the DTS (including LOGAIR, 

OUICKTRANS, MAC, MTMC water ports, and/or MSC). Port handling at CONUS and overseas 

air terminals is provided without direct reimbursement by the customer when shipment is made 

under actual MAC tariff rates (which include such services). The customer does provide 

reimbursement for port handling when movement costs are charged using the DoD accessorial 

rate. At U.S. operated overseas water ports, handling costs are reimbursed according to local 

agreements between the United States and the customer; at the overseas air and water ports, 

charges are paid directly by.

7 Delivery to an inland point in the recipient country. DoD is responsible for transportation, 

including transocean and overseas inland movement, from the point of origin, to a specified 

inland location. The customer is responsible for unloading the shipment from the inland carrier at 

the specified location and for all subsequent onward movement. Expenses to DoD for 

accessorial costs are reimbursable. This code has limited use and normally applies to the 

shipment of materiel to those countries which have no seaports (e.g., Bolivia, Paraguay, 

Switzerland, and Austria). The shipper provides modes and routing from the origin to the 

consignee location by GBL or by special arrangement with MAC, MSC, or U.S. military activities 

within the country for movement from the POD to the consignee location. 

8 Delivery onboard a vessel/aircraft at the POE. The DoD is responsible for transportation from 

the point of origin to the vessel at the POE including unloading from the inland carrier, port 

handling, and stowage aboard the vessel/aircraft. The customer is responsible for all 

subsequent onward movement. Expenses to the DoD for accessorial costs are reimbursable. 

Shipments are made on GBLs. This code is especially applicable for explosive materiel 

prohibited from movement by a freight forwarder, but which must move through Militarycontrolled port with onward movement arranged by and coordinated with the country freight 

forwarder. 

9 Delivery to POD. The DoD is responsible for transportation from the point of origin to the 

overseas POD, including discharge from the vessel/aircraft. The customer is responsible for all 

subsequent handling and onward movement. Expenses to the DoD for accessorial costs are 

reimbursable.

AUTHORIZED EXCEPTIONS, SPECIAL PROCESSES, 

AND DELAYED IMPLEMENTATION DATES

(INTRODUCTION)

AP3.1 INTRODUCTION 

AP3.1.1 DoD policy concerning the implementatio of MAPAD procedures is 

contained in DoD Directive 4140.1 (reference (a)), and is summarized in chapter 1, 

paragraph G., of this manual. 

AP3.1.2 Separate intra-Service/Agency systems/procedures will not be developed 

or used unless an authorized exception, special process, or delayed implementation 

date has been approved by the MAPAD System Administrator in accordance with the 

DUSD(P&L). The following rationale is applicable only to DIs pertaining to MILSTRIP 

supply distribution system(s) 

AP3.1.3 Requests for exceptions, special processes, or delayed implementation 

dates will be forwarded by concerned focal points to the MAPAD System Administrator 

for consideration when it can be demonstrated the MAPAD cannot provide a workable 

method or procedure or that, for some reason beyond the control of the focal point or 

concerned Service/Agency, an approved change cannot be implemented on the 

scheduled date. 

AP3.1.4 Requests for exceptions, special processes, or delayed implementation 

dates will not be granted solely to accommodate existing internal systems and 

procedures.
