Camouflage Screening…
snow
is a
weighty matter
snow
is a
weighty matter
snow and cold don’t mix
well with camouflage
nets and poles. The
fiberglass poles shatter
easily when they’re cold-
soaked and bent under
the weight of snow. the
extra weight can bend
aluminum poles.
The snow could bring
your camouflage
screen down on top of
your equipment. Shake
it off to keep the
screening in place.
Padlocks…
If you’re
looking for
low security
padlocks,
here’s what’s

oh, boy! I sure
wish they’d get
rid of some of
that snow!

Description
NSN 5340-
Bradley Fire Suppression Rope
The parts manuals show no listing for the wire
rope that goes between the activation handle
and fire extinguisher valve of your M2/M3-
series Bradley’s fire suppression system. To get
it, you’ll need to order a new valve, NSN 4210-
01-125-4294 (M2/M3) or NSN 4210-01-336-9159
(M2A3/M3A3). M2A2/M3A2 and ODS Bradleys
can use either valve. Make a note until the TMs
are updated to show the rope with the valves.
Transmission Filter Kit
Use NSN 2520-01-051-6687 to get a transmission filter kit for the M915A2, M916A1/A2 and
M917A1 tractor trucks. The NSN shown as Item 42, Fig 154 of TM 9-2320-363-24P is no longer
available. The kit includes the filter, pan gasket and seal ring.
PATS Training
CD
NBC NCOs, when you receive your M41
PATS back from calibration or repair,
you'll also get a CD-ROM explaining how
to use PATS. The CD replaces the video
that formerly came with PATS but often
disappeared before anyone saw it. Keep
the CD in the PATS case.
That way, you'll
have it if you need to brush up on PATS
later. And so will the next NBC NCO.
M992A2 Torsion Bars
Revisited
The NSN listed for the M992A2 ammo carrier’s torsion bar #5 on Page 17 of PS 597 is wrong.
The correct NSN is 2510-01-300-022

SUSV Fire
Extinguisher
Get the hand-held CO
2
fire extinguisher
and bracket for your small unit support
vehicle with NSN 4210-01-388-7854. It’s a
replacement for the Halon extinguisher
shown as Item 11 on Page B-4 of TM 9-2350-
285-10.
The new extinguisher alone is NSN
Kiowa MMS Desiccant
OH-58D Kiowa mast mounted sight desiccant,
NSN 6850-01-456-0554 is obsolete. Order
replacement desiccant with NSN 6850-01-214-
3682. This desiccant comes in a non-refillable
container that should always be replaced
when depleted. Refilling attempts allow des-
iccant dust to escape and that could cause
damage to the thermal imaging sensor.
