M56 Smoke Generator…
Dear Editor,
Here at the Ft Leonard Wood
Directorate of Logistics we've come
up with a troubleshooting
tip that may save units much
frustration with their M56
smoke generators.
If you get OVERTEMP or
OVER/UNDER SPEED warning lights
when you try to start the M56,
make sure the vehicle ground wire is
connected to the HMMWV's frame.
Sometimes it's left unhooked after
maintenance. It's behind the starter
and battery box.

f you're a soldier who has slightly
unusual measurements—
maybe you're
quite tall and slender—
you may have
trouble finding JSLIST (joint service
lightweight integrated suit technology)
garments that fit.
JSLIST jackets and pants are
ordered separately, which has helped
take care of many soldiers who have
unusual builds: a short soldier with a
stocky build can order a larger coat, for
example. But the Army can't stock
every possible size variation. That's
where special measurements come in.
They ensure all soldiers can be proper-
ly fitted with JSLIST.
The first step in finding a JSLIST
garment that fits is get yourself meas-
ured using the guidance in JSLIST's
TM 10-8415-220-10. Then check out
the JSLIST size charts to see if you
can order a jacket and trousers that fit.
Size charts and size NSNs are found
on Pages 48-49 in PS 617 (Apr 04).
You can access the story at
pubs/psissues/617/617-48-49.pdf
No luck? Then you need to special
order a JSLIST jacket and/or trousers.
Go to the special order section of your
local military clothing sales store and
have them measure you. Record the
measurements on a DD Form 358 (for
men) or DD Form 1111 (for women).
These forms are at
www.usapa.army.mil/
pamdocs/pam2530_main.htm
Then fill out a DD Form 1348-6.
The JSLIST jacket or trousers
must be ordered from Defense
Supply Center-Philadelphia (DSCP).
Contact DSCP's Ellen Henning at
DSN 444-2482/(215) 737-2482 or
email
ellen.henning@dla.mil
for
instructions or if you have any ques-
tions. Forms can be faxed to DSN
444-3163/(215) 737-3163.
Normally a soldier should order
four JSLIST suits: two to be kept by
his parent unit and two to be kept in
sustainment stock.
Usually, it takes 30-45 days for a
special order JSLIST to be made and
shipped.
no, you
don’t
under-
stand!
that’s why
you need to
follow this
suggestion.
have you
got a jslist
that’ll fit
me?
let’s
measure
you and
see.
a good
fit!
thanks!
hmmm…
you may be a
candidate for
a
special
order
jslist.
I
don’t
want to
stop
smoking!
