What action is typically taken if a munitions container is found to be damaged?

When a munitions container is found to be damaged, the standard procedure involves quarantining it for inspection. This action is critical because it allows for a thorough evaluation of the container's condition to determine the extent of the damage, assess whether it compromises the safety or integrity of the munitions inside, and decide on further actions. Quarantining ensures that the damaged container does not pose a risk to personnel or the surrounding environment until it can be assessed properly.

The other options do not align with typical safety protocols. Repainting a damaged container could hide issues rather than address them, salvaging parts may not be appropriate depending on the situation, and sending it back to the manufacturer is not a common first response; instead, inspection is prioritized to evaluate whether it requires repair or replacement. Thus, quarantining for inspection is the correct and best practice following the discovery of damage.
