he Army’s new insulated food containers, NSNs 7360-01-408-4911, -452-
0686, -419-6261 and -419-8500, are a great improvement over the old model.
The new containers serve the same number of soldiers, are easily sanitized, and
never need painting. They’re also more durable and designed for easy stacking.

If the connection is tight, connect
an ohmmeter across the pins of the
power input connector. A zero reading
means there is a short circuit. Don’t
use the battery pack. If the ohmmeter
reads anything else, the battery is OK.
These actions are temporary fixes
and will not prevent the connector from
shorting or the shell from twisting. Ar-
rangements are being made to have a
manufacturer’s representative perma-
nently repair all fielded battery packs.
Got more questions? Contact the
folks at Soldier and Biological Chemi-
cal Command. Call Glenn Doucet,
DSN 256-4058 or (508) 233-4058 or
Timothy Benson, DSN 256-5543 or
(508) 233-5543.
Battery’s OK if it reads anything but 0

If the rear shell is loose, remove
the cable clamp, completely loosen the
shell by holding the cable housing and
rear shell of the connector and slide
the rear shell back, exposing the wires
under the shell. Check the wires to see
if they are twisted. If they are, remove
the battery pack from service. If they’re
not twisted, reassemble the connector
and you’re good to go.
If shell’s loose, remove clamp
got it?

don’t have is a
