VEHICLES

All vehicles must pass an agriculture examination before movement.

Vehicles will have no soil, sand, vegetable matter, or insect/animal parts.

Grease is NOT considered soil/dirt.

Units will remove all equipment from vehicles and open all compartments IAW CBCA instructions prior to the examination being conducted.

If items are unable to be properly cleaned overseas, they will be held at the first U.S. port of entry until properly cleaned.

Once the vehicle finishes in the wash site and is examined, a DD Form 2855 is affixed to the vehicle and signed by an CBCA.

The vehicle is then placed in a guarded sterile area under the control of CBCA personnel (Units will assist by providing guard personnel when requested by the CBCA).

If the DD Form 2855 is removed, or if sterility is compromised at any time, the vehicle must be re‑examined and a new form affixed.
