Which unserviceable item tag is used on munitions that are not economical to repair?

The unserviceable item tag that is utilized for munitions deemed not economical to repair is the DD Form 1577. This tag specifically indicates that an item is unserviceable and contains information regarding the reasons for its status, ensuring that all personnel are aware of the item's condition and the associated costs related to its repair.

In the context of munitions management, identifying when an item is beyond economical repair is crucial, as it streamlines inventory management and resource allocation. The use of the DD Form 1577 helps in preventing unnecessary repair attempts on munitions that would not provide a cost-effective solution and facilitates tracking for disposal or further action. This tag thus plays an important role in the munitions lifecycle management.

Other tags and reports, like the AFTO Form 102, SF 368, and CAS Report, serve different purposes, such as tracking aviation repair information or documenting product deficiencies, and are not specifically designed for the purpose of indicating whether an item is unserviceable due to being uneconomical to repair.
