TNe s±ppLY categories of materiel
code (SCM²) on tHe Army Master
Data File (AMDF) lists tHe class of
sUpply and subclass for eacH item.
The ³ubclass is a 1-letter code that
breaks tHe cl
´
ass down even furtherµ
For example, a cable assembly coded
9P and a resistor assembly coded 9G.
THey're both class
IX
repair parts but
the
cable
assembly
(¶ubclass
P)
belongs
on
AS·
gear
while
the
resistor assembly (subclass G) is a
co¸mo/electronics item.
THe code reference guide ¹ºSAC»
D· Pam 18¼1) that comes witH your
A½DF lists each subclass that shows
up in the SCMC column.
So, never just stop with the class of
sup¾ly, eye tHat subclass, too.
¿Course, there's a little more than
this to some items of eqÀipment. FOr
example, to Áove your ammo from
the DS Ammo Co to your unit, you
must get an ammo transportation
order ok' d by the division ammo office
(usually along tHe main supply route)Â
CÃMSEC end items and Repair parts
are usually requested from the Signal
Battalion.
Äext time you can't find an item
