Dear EditoR
Our unit's mission requires exten-
sive use of night vision goggles
(NVGs). But a lot of NVGs are being
retu±ed for storage with lost or
misplaced lithium baTeries.
We²ve corrected this by storing
the batteries head³to³ta/ in an
empty 35mm film containe´ µhe
container then goes in the NVG
case between the goggle tubes.
µhe NVGs are Issued to the sol-
dier with three batteries in the
case¶two in the F·m container and
one s¸¹º unwrapped» So fa¼ ½t¾s
working great¿ µhe number of lost
batteÀÁes Is way downÂ
