LRUs . . .
oney’s tight, mechanics. So when
it’s time to turn in a line replaceable
unit (LRU)—such as the M1A2
tank’s gunner’s control display panel
or commander’s integrated display
make sure you package it properly.
Because so many LRUs are being
damaged during shipment, the MSCs
are reducing credit to
10 percent of
the containerized unserviceable
credit
for any LRU
not
shipped in a
proper container.
That means you
lose
90 percent of
the credit you would normally receive.
You’ll find this new policy in Para 11-
3f of DA Pam 710-2-2 (30 Sep 98).
So keep your unit from losing these
dollars. See your supervisor about add-
ing the following procedure to your
unit’s maintenance SOP:
1.
Before pulling an unserviceable
LRU from an end item (M1-series
tank, Bradley, etc.), first get a
serviceable LRU from your supply
support activity (SSA) as a
temporary loan.
2.
Take the good LRU in its container
to the end item. Make the exchange,
putting the unserviceable LRU
into the container.
3.
Take the unserviceable LRU to
the SSA.
Using the right container prevents
further damage to the LRU and en-
sures that your unit will get maximum
credit for the unservicable LRU.
