When refrigeration for certain cargo is unavailable, what action should be taken?

In situations where refrigeration for specific cargo, such as human remains or certain perishable materials, is unavailable, the appropriate action is to contact the installation Mortuary Affairs Officer. This ensures that the cargo is handled in accordance with military protocols and standards that govern the treatment of sensitive materials, especially in the case of remains or other regulated items.

The Mortuary Affairs Officer is responsible for ensuring the respectful and proper treatment of deceased service members, and they have the resources and protocols in place to manage such situations effectively. The other choices may not provide the necessary respect or adherence to the legal and ethical standards required when handling such sensitive cargo, which is why contacting the Mortuary Affairs Officer is the best course of action when refrigeration is not an option.
