            4. Destruction methods by unconventin@nal-means.

                a. General. Burning is one of the most expedient means of
            insuring complete destruction. A hot long burning fire will
            achieve complete destruction. Use a diesel fuel and motor oil
            mixture. A 10:1 ratio is a general guideline. Achieve this by
            adding 2 quarts of motor oil to 5 gallons of diesel fuel. However
            any size container will work as long as I container of motor oil
            is added to every ten containers of diesel fuel. Use the same
            container for measuring both fluids. For safety ignite the
            'mixture from a distance. For example use a thernite grenade, flare
            gun or tracer round. NOTE:   DO NOT APPROACH A BURNING ARMORED
            VEHICLE.


                b. Lay four tank rounds  on floor of tank. Place exterior
            machine gun in tank. Spread   fuel/oil mixture on floor of tank.
            Close and lock all hatches with the exception of driver's hatch.
            Use driver's hatch to get out of tank. Remotely ignite oil/fuel
            mixture. To destroy multiple tanks , park grill to grill first
            then side to side as close as possible. Ignite all tanks
            simultaneously using a ring main.

                c. Fill engine oil fill and gas tank with sand. Remove oil
            drain plug and engine coolant. Run engine until it overheats and
            seizes up.

                d. Cut all electrical lines with insulated bolt cutters or
            similiar tool for safety.

                e. Cut/damage all hydralic lines.

                f. Damage all optical sights, switches, and targeting
            computers using an E-tool, axe or hammer.
