Ring Mount Cover
On Page 3 of PS 550 we told you to use

with
the
global transportation
network
, i can
track
repair
parts
wherever
they are
if the item is
en route!
o your CO grabs you and wants
to know when a broken aircraft will
be flying or when a busted tank will
be rolling. You hem and haw be-
cause you don’t have a clue when
the repair parts will arrive.
Get
a clue.
The transportation command
(USTRANSCOM) has set up the
Global Transportation Network
(GTN) on the Internet.
GTN will let you track cargo as it
moves through the transportation
system.
Suppose that helicopter you need
is waiting for an engine. Log on to
GTN and type in the engine stock
number. You’ll see a list of all the
engines with that stock number in
the transportation system—where
they are and where they are going.
By using your unit’s Department of De-
fense Address Code (DODAAC), you can
find items being shipped to your unit. Or
by using a document number, you can
track single repair parts.
Of course, the item has to be en route.
If it hasn’t been shipped, it’s not in GTN.
To access GTN on the web, use this
address:
Before you do, though, contact
USTRANSCOM for a password. Call
them at DSN 576-8015. Or write them at:
USTRANSCOM/TCJ4-LPD
508 Scott Drive
Scott AFB, IL
62225-5357
Once
you have a password, get an over-
view of what GTN can do for you by

M40/M42 Mask MWO
If you’re having trouble keeping your
M40/M42-series masks in top condition,
help is on the way. MWO 3-4240-347-20-1
installs a retaining clamp on the facepiece
to stop separation at the outlet valve
housing. The MWO will be done on-site
by your direct support with materials
provided by Soldier Support Biological
and Chemical Command (SBCCOM). The
best time is during the annual fit
verification. To find out when your post’s
masks will be modified, contact
your local
MWO coordinator or SBCCOM logistics
assistance representative.
