TOW 2 Missile System…
•
Never, ever, put loose sights in the back of a
truck.
If sights are left to bounce around on their
journey to support, they quickly suffer the kind of
damage that costs thousands to repair. That won't
make your CO happy. The best way to protect the
sights during travel is to put them in their storage
cases. The cases are designed to protect the sights.
But even when the sights are in their cases it's still
a good idea to tie down the cases on the truck bed
to keep them from jumping around.
If for some reason you don't have the sight cases,
pad the truck bed with something like a mattress
and tie down the sights so they can't move.
Remember all this applies when you bring the
sights
back
from support, too.
• Take the whole TOW
system for verification.
In order for DS to verify
the TOW, they need all
the components: tripod,
TU, battery, MGS, both
sights, and launch tube.
If you bring just part of
the TOW, you've wasted
a trip.

Sentinel Radar System…
Sentinel Radar System…
Where to Go for Painting Info
Dear Sergeant J.H.,
You bet. You can touch up shiny spots
on your Sentinel just like you would on
your Army trucks or tanks. Follow the
instructions in TM 43-0139,
Painting
Instructions for Army Materiel.
Also see the special section on CARC
in PS 598. Jobs bigger than touching up
bare spots should be done by your local
paint shop.
Dear Half-Mast,
Our Sentinels have developed
shiny spots where the paint
has worn off. The shiny spots
make it easier for the enemy
to spot us at night. But we
can't figure out where to go
for info on painting our
Sentinels. Can you help?
SGT J.H.
I’m so
embarrassed
by these shiny
spots…
I can’t
figure
out how
to touch
up those
spots.
…and
the other
sentinels
are laughing
at me!
These
two
tips
will make
your TOW missile
system's trip
to direct
support much
smoother…
ouch!
ouch!
oh,
that smarts!
we’re gonna need
major repairs
after this trip!
they can’t
verify us if
we’re not
all there!
six
months
are up!
time for
your verifica-
tion at direct
support!
Your
Trip to
Support
don’t
forget
me!
