Look at 9 and 10 in 13/2007. There's a lot of specifics applicable to some particular applications but for the most, as David said, parts is parts when it comes to general fasteners. I think the DoD guys know this and just want cut sheets marked with what fasteners you're going to use. Then if the designer says 1/2" thru bolts on a beam and the fitter installs 3/8" x 1" lags hammered in there's a paper trail and no room for argument.
