Hi Bridget, The document (aka MIL-STD-2000 Revision B) was written as a transition document to support the procurement needs during the US DOD transition to industry standards. To my knowledge all military contracts were directed by the DOD to cancell MIL-STD-2000 (and similar documents, i.e. WS-6536, MIL-S-45743) and replace with ANSI/J-STD-001. You may want to check with your contract/procurement folks. Since the document has a "reproduction authorization", I suggest contacting the following: Bob Cormack (732- 323-7475) Manufacturing Technology Department Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst, NJ Bob led the soldering technology standardization effort and should be able to answer any and all your questions. Good luck and if you need further assistance please contact me offline.
