Demilitarization is the process of destroying or rendering a sensitive item inoperable or safe to prevent its military or illicit use. It’s required for certain items when they reach end of life, or when they’re being disposed of, transferred, or released, to ensure that no capability or data can be recovered and misused. The process may involve physically destroying components, disabling functions, or removing sensitive information according to policy. This is not a routine maintenance step, not about demilitarizing borders, and not simply an inventory tagging action.
