Page 61 of PS 586 told you where to go
to order maps. We didn’t tell you that
when you order maps from the National
Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA),
you use your ULLS S-4 DODAAC. If you
don’t have one, use your unit’s PBO
DODAAC. You are not authorized a sep-
arate DODAAC for maps. The only
exception is for
Flight Information
Publications
(FLIP). If you need a FLIP
DODAAC, contact SFC White at DSN
656-4870, (703) 806-4870, at the U.S.
Army Aeronautical Services Agency in
Ft. Belvoir, VA.
Need maps? Go to:
or contact the DSCR Richmond Map
Facility, 1-800-826-0342, then press 5, or
you can call DSN 695-4341. (The address
on DLA Form 1832 must match the
address on the DODAAC you are using.)
Map Ordering Update
Improved HMMWV Turret Bearing
When the weapon station turret bearing fails on your armored HMMWV, it must be
replaced with NSN 3110-01-480-5857. In order to install the new bearing, special
repair materials and instructions must be used. A list of materials and the installation
instructions are available from TACOM (e-mail
mcinernj@tacom.army.mil
, DSN 786-
2722, (586) 574-2722) or from MSG Half-Mast (e-mail
psmag@logsa.army.mil
, DSN
645-0893, (256) 955-0893).
New Nuts for MLRS
Switch your MLRS to self-locking nuts with nonmetallic insets on the cab hinge, road-
wheels and track pads. They hold better than the ones currently listed in TM 9-1450-
646-24P. Use NSN 5310-00-068-8067 for Item 8 in Fig 1 and Item 78 in Fig 171. Use NSN
5310-00-175-2710 for Item 5 in Fig 9, Item 4 in Fig 13, and Items 13, 15 and 21 in the
KITS section.
PLGR Fuse NSN Correction
Change the NSN for the PLGR power cable fuse listed on Page 53 of PS 591
from NSN 6150-01-382-1551 to NSN 5920-00-280-4960. The NSN given in
PS is for a cable assembly and not a cartridge fuse.
M871A2
Resistor Kit
To get a 95-watt resistor kit to handle
extra marker lights on your M871A2
trailers, order NSN 5905-01-396-7097.
The kit does not replace Item 2 in
Fig 7 of TM 9-2330-386-14&P, but it
may be needed to power the extra
lights. Installation instructions come
with the kit.
ODS Bradley VDB
Need a new vehicle distribution box (VDB), NSN 6110-01-442-8080, for your
ODS
Bradley
? Then make sure you put advice code
2B
in card columns 65-66 of your requi-
sition form. Leave it blank and you might get distribution box, NSN 6110-01-201-7880,
as a substitute VDB. That box doesn’t have the J20 plug required for the ODS Bradley.
FMTV Crane Clevis Clamp
Users of M1084/M1084A1, M1086/M1086A1 and M1089/ M1089A1 FMTVs equipped
with a crane need clamp, NSN 4030-00-042-7882, to complete TACOM Maintenance
Advisory Message 02-018. Read Para (c), Page C-5, of TB 43-0142,
Safety Inspection
and Testing of Lifting Devices,
in addition to the MAM, to correctly install the clamps.
CIE NSNs
on the Web
Having trouble finding the NSNs for
clothing and individual equipment
(CIE)? Check out
on the Internet. It lists NSNs for most
of the Army's CIE. Before ordering,
though, check SB 700-20 to make sure
the NSN is authorized for the Army.
Avenger Camouflage
NSN
Wrong
Don't order the NSN for Avenger camouflage listed on Page 43 in PS 592 (Mar 02). It's
not the correct camouflage for the Avenger. The camouflage for the Avenger is radar-
transparent camouflage, not radar-scattering. The NSN listed in the article is for the
ultra-lightweight camouflage net system (ULCANS), woodland radar-scattering, which
currently can't be ordered as a replacement for the lightweight camouflage screen
system (LCSS). ULCANS is currently authorized only for initial issue and to replace
already fielded ULCANS. To order LCSS camouflage for the Avenger, use NSN 1080-00-
103-1322 for woodland radar transparent and NSN 1080-00-103-1217 for desert radar
transparent.
