Q1. What is demanufacturing?
A1. Demanufacturing is the process of breaking down electronic equipment into metallic and non-metallic parts that can be recycled. Hazardous materials contained in the equipment are removed and disposed of properly. Some of the electronic equipment that DRMS receives from the military services is damaged or outdated and therefore no longer valuable for its intended purpose. Other electronic equipment must be rendered useless through demilitarization (shredding, sheering, etc.) so that it can not be used again for its originally intended purpose. Since the property can not be reused or sold intact, it will be broken down through demanufacturing. This will avoid having to scrap the property and it potentially being used as landfill.

More context would help, but military folks always talk funny, so this could be what is meant.

or \"decommissioning\" is used to refer to the dismantling/disposing/recycling/taking out of service of military hardware, esp. because much of the technology/design might be subject to export protection and privacy restrictions.
