OE-254 Antenna…
Dear Editor,
The guy ropes securing the OE-254 antenna are a tripping hazard at
night. If you are in a populated area, the potential for someone to take
a spill is even greater.
If you are erecting the
antenna for a short period of
time, use engineer tape to fas-
ten flexible band light sticks,
to the guy ropes.
Of course, this is only for
those times when blackout
conditions are not needed.
We find the sticks provide
all-night illumination and pro-
vide an added touch of safety
for all personnel.

Flexible light sticks can serve many short-term lighting needs and this is cer-
tainly a good application. There are also IR chemical light sticks available
for possible use with night vision goggles. Check with your commander
before doing this. But with his okay, go for it. Thanks, Sergeant Smith.
If you are turning in an I-REMBASS set, DT-561A/GSQ, NSN 6350-01-346-
3561, you’ll get a REMBASS II magnetic plug-in module (MPM) motion detector
You will have to requisition a REMBASS II
seismic/acoustic sensor (SAS) motion detector
kit, NSN 6350-01-477-7680, to power the MPM.
If you are turning in a DT-565A/GSQ, NSN
6350-01-346-7717, you will receive a REMBASS
II infrared plug-in module (IPM) motion detector
kit, NSN 6350-01-477-7685. Like the MPM, you
will have to requisition an SAS motion detector
kit, since the IPM is also powered by the SAS.
If you are turning in an I-REMBASS, DT-
562A/GSQ, NSN 6350-01-348-3145, you will
receive a REMBASS II SAS motion detector kit.
For further information, call the I-REMBASS
folks at (732) 427-5388/DSN 987-5388 or (732)
532-3934/DSN 992-3934.
Here’s what you get when you turn
in the improved remotely monitored
battlefield sensor system (I-REMBASS)
to get the REMBASS II
seismic/acoustic sensor set…
