OE-254/GRC Mast
Section NSN
Mast section, NSN 5985-01-
072-8066, is now NSN 5985-01-
324-3463. Many of you are still
ordering under the old NSN
and entering an advice code of
2F—“obsolete,
but
still
required.”
Stop it!
Your
request will just be rejected.
Use the new NSN and the mast
sections will come your way.
Bradley Turret Jams
Clean up brass cartridges from the
catchers and the floor at every
opportunity. Bradley crewmen in
Iraq have had several turrets
jammed by loose brass. Not good
when you’re engaging the enemy!
M1-Series Tank LRUs
Before storing or shipping line
replaceable units (LRUs) from
your M1-series tank, check to
see if it has a shipping contain-
er. These specially designed con-
tainers prevent damage to
expensive LRUs. A quick look at
the parts manual is all it takes.
Then order a container if the
right one’s not on hand.
UH-60 External Fuel
Tank Access Panel
Mechanics, Fig 122, Item 24 of
TM 1-1520-237-23P-5, lists the
wrong screws (NSN 5305-00-
137-3043) to mount the exter-
nal fuel tank access panel. The
correct screw is NSN 5305-01-
343-1185. Make a note until the
TM is updated.
UH-60 Cargo Hook
Impulse Cartridge
Need an NSN for the Black Hawk
cargo hook impulse cartridge?
Order NSN 1377-01-211-7211. The
current cartridge, NSN 1377-01-
254-1683, is no longer available in
the supply system.
AVLB Engine
Use NSN 2815-01-166-2051 to
order a new engine and container
for your AVLB. The NSN shown for
Item 1 in Fig 1 of TM 5-5420-202-
24P and TM 5-5420-226-24P is no
longer available.
New
Mine Clearing
Blade Motor
Use NSN 6105-01-502-9448 to
order a new lifting motor for
your mine clearing blade. This
motor has been tested and
approved for use as a replace-
ment for the current motor,
NSN 6105-01-277-0295. You’ll
get the new motor faster.
ROWPU Hotline

maintenance and logistics support for the
600-GPH and 3,000-GPH reverse osmosis
water purification units (ROWPUs), write to
the ROWPU’s Hotline e-mail address at:

The connector plug (P105 & P106), NSN 5935-
01-108-4483, shown on the control box parts
list on page 39 of PS 601 is incorrect. It
should be NSN 5935-01-10

-7541.

M1-Series Tank
Cannon Cleaning
If you’re using the Azure Blue portable can-
non cleaning kit, NSN 1025-01-407-6027, to
clean the main gun tube on your M1-series
tank—
STOP!
The high-pressure water used
as part of the cleaning process will corrode
the gun tube and reduce its life span. Water
also gets into the main gun system, causing
corrosion and damage to the breech mecha-
nism, bore evacuator components, and firing
circuits.
Fiber Optic Cable
Order 300 meters of CX-13295/G
fiber optic cable with NSN 6020-
01-220-5435.
Order
1,000
meters with NSN 6020-01-208-
1147.
No Annual ACADA Wipe Test
Unlike the CAM/ICAM and M8A1 chemical alarm, the M22 ACADA does
not need the annual wipe test to check for radiation leaks.
The ACADA
needs to be wipe tested only when the radioactive source module is
removed from the source assembly.
And that can be done only at
depot.
So
do not
turn your ACADA into support for a wipe test.
It's
not needed.
