MIL-STD- 1860 has been redesignated as a handbook, and is to be used for guidance
purposes only. This document is no longer to be cited as a requirement. For administrative expediency, the only physical change from MIL-STD-1860 is this
cover page. However, this document is no longer to be cited as a requirement. If cited as a requirement, contractors may disregard the requirements of this document and interpret its contents only as guidance.
