Maintenance Advisory for New Helmet
Word from OIF and OEF is that some soldiers are not wearing the new advanced combat hel-
met (ACH) correctly. If the helmet is worn wrong or fits poorly, it may not protect soldiers from
fragmentation or ballistic threats. Maintenance Advisory Message (MAM) 04-001-013 advises
commanders to review fit and wear standards in TM 10-8470-204-10 and inspect their soldiers.
The TM is found at
A video showing the correct fitting procedures and the TM are available on AKO and the PEO-
Soldier website at

NSN 2930-01-496-1920 gets the fan shroud
for the M915A3 tractor trucks with serial

trucks starting with J21548.
Oil Preserves Decking
Constant exposure to the elements dries, cracks and splinters the wood decking on semitrail-
ers. Prevent that damage by brushing boiled linseed oil on the decking as needed. NSN 8010-
00-152-3245 gets 1 gallon of oil.

new water pump for the D7G CAT tractor.

Shield NSN

Demil Code Changes

Link to Small Arms Integration Book Changes
The link we gave you in PS 622 (Sep 04) for accessing the Small Arms Integration Book is no
longer good. The correct link is now
Oops! ARS
Corrections
In the story on the adapter rail system (ARS)
for the M16A4 rifle and M4/M4A1 carbine on
Pages 14-16 in PS 623 (Oct 04), we used
"mount" and "install" incorrectly. The
M203A2 grenade launcher is
mounted
to the
M16A4 or M4/M4A1, not the ARS. The M5
barrel stop is
installed
in the handguard cap.
The M203A2 quick release bracket is
installed
, as is the ARS on the M16A4 or
M4/M4A1. But sighting and aiming devices
are
mounted
on the ARS.
