Dear Sergeant P. L. T.,
The pubs for the LRAS3 are in draft and, hopefully, will come to you through
normal pub channels soon. However, for some of you, it may not be soon enough.
We rarely recommend getting a draft publication, but in this case, we’ll make
an exception. The LRAS3 is a highly used, critical piece of equipment and you
need manuals to order parts and maintain it right.
So, contact your C-E LCMC logistics assistance representative (LAR). He or
she will go to the LAR page at the AKO website and download a draft copy of
TM 11-5855-310-12&P.
When you get the draft manual, remember, it is a draft. It’s not ofFcial, yet.
That means you need to double check information like stock numbers when-
ever possible.
Remove the Tags
Before shipping electronic reparables to Tobyhanna Army Depot and other repair
facilities, remove all additional tags attached by Feld units. These tags clutter up the
equipment with unnecessary directions and labels.
But also, and more importantly, they are hazardous to the equipment. They are not
electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive. The can cause ESD damage to an already damaged
piece of equipment. So, remove the tags before you ship!
Dear MSG Half-Mast,
The LRAS3 infrared night vision sight is vital to our mission, yet we can’t
find pubs for it. Are there any? If so, how can we get them?
Sergeant P. L. T.
T
he PP-8440/ASM power distribution
box, NSN 6110-01-423-8822, can
reduce the number of generators needed
to power your AN/ASM-146, AN/ASM-
189 or AN/ASM-190 vans and shelters
and help eliminate damage caused by
wetstacking.
But they only work when you can get
them. And you can only get them when
you turn in unserviceable ones to be
repaired! That’s not happening.
It’s not happening with PP-8479(V)3/
ASM power distribution box, NSN
6110-01-474-6546, used on the AN/
ASM-146 and -147, either.
Return unserviceable distribution
boxes to:

DoDAAC: W25G1W
For help, contact your C-E LCMC
LAR or call C-E LCMC at DSN 992-
