DEMIL

The following definitions explain the terms and codes for demilitarization of parts and equipment.

DMIL

The Demilitarization Code (DEM or DEMIL or DML or DMIL) is a one-character alphabetic code identifying items requiring demilitarization and the types of demilitarization required. It also identifies items which do not require demilitarization. This is determined by the Inventory Control Point (ICP). *FLIS*

Demilitarization Code

A code that identifies each item requiring demilitarization and the type of demilitarization required. This is a code that dictates what must happen to an item when it is no longer being used by the military. For example, something like the tuba used in a military band can be disposed of (e.g., sold by open auction) with no demilitarization required. A 2.5 ton truck can also be auctioned; however, certain items within the truck may not be for commercial use and must be removed prior to releasing the truck.

Demilitarization Integrity Code

The code that represents the recommended DEMIL Code’s status and relationship with demilitarization (DEMIL). The integrity code determines the status of the DEMIL Code itself, which tells users whether they can simply proceed with the instructions found in the DEMIL Code or if further consideration is required, prior to making a decision on an item.

DEMIL Code	Descriptions
A	Non-MLI/ Non-SLI — Demilitarization not required.
B	MLI (Non-Significant Military Equipment – Non-SME) — Demilitarization not required — Trade Security Controls (TSCs) required at disposition.
C	MLI (SME) — Remove and/or demilitarize installed key point(s) as prescribed in DOD 4160.21-M-1 — Defense Demilitarization Manual, or lethal parts, components and accessories
D	MLI (SME) — Total destruction of item and components so as to preclude restoration or repair to a usable condition by melting, cutting, tearing, scratching, crushing, breaking, punching, neutralizing, etc. (As an alternate, burial or deep water dumping may be used when coordinated with the DOD Demilitarization Program Office.)
E	MLI (NON-SME) — Additional critical items/material determined to require demilitarization, either key point or total destruction. Demilitarization instructions to be furnished by the DOD Demilitarization Program Office.
F	MLI (SME) — Demilitarization instructions to be furnished by the Item/Technical Manager.
G	MLI (SME) — Demilitarization required AEDA. Demilitarization, and if required, declassification and/or removal of sensitive markings or information will be accomplished prior to physical transfer to a DRMO. This code will be used for all AEDA items, including those which also require declassification and/or removal of sensitive markings or information.
P	MLI (SME) — Security Classified Item Declassification and any additional demilitarization and removal of any sensitive markings or information will be accomplished prior to accountability or physical transfer to a DRMO. This code will not be assigned to AEDA items.
Q	CCLI — Commerce Control List Item Demilitarization not required. CCLI are dual-use (military, commercial, and other strategic uses) items under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Export Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, through the Export Administration Regulations. The types of items under the Commerce Control List (CCL) are commodities (i.e., equipment, materials, electronics, propulsion systems, etc.), software, and technology. The CCL does not include those items exclusively controlled by another department or agency of the U.S. Government.
