Correct Phone Number for VCI
If you need vapor corrosion inhibitor (VCI) bags for shipping M2 machine guns or other
weapons, don’t call the number listed in the M2’s TM 9-1005-213-23&P. The number on WP
0036 00-2 and WP 0037 00-2 is wrong. To get VCI bags, call Band-All at (309) 794-9544. They
ship bags within 24 hours.
621B SCraper Camshaft
NSN 2530-01-064-3730 gets the left front wheel
brake camshaft for the 621B scraper. TM 5-3805-
248-23P gives the wrong part and NSN for Item 1
of Fig 134. Make a note of the right info until the
TM is updated.
HSTRU Website
For a list of tools, hoses and ±ttings that
support the hydraulic system test and
repair unit (HSTRU) go to this website:
SKO_Warranty.html
Once you get into the website:
• Select CLICK HERE
• Select Replacement
In the drop down list, select Hydraulic
System Test and Repair Unit (HSTRU), and
enter Submit
• Provide your unit’s information and
select Add Tools
• Select Tool Search
Make a note that this info applies to the
MX2 version HSTRU. The older model is
still supported by its supply catalog.
Survival Gear
Looking for the current NSN for the
flotation collar that attaches to the
Generation 3, primary survival gear
carrier (PSGC)? Order it with NSN 1680-
01-518-7274.
ASV Auxiliary Heater-Coolant System Hose
What you see isn’t what you’ll get if you order Item 23 of Fig 52-12 and Item 15 of Fig 52-16
in TM 9-2320-307-24P. Change that by updating the TM with part number 41710204, NSN
4720-01-551-6430, and description Hose, Coolant Heater 5/8 x 10 ft for both items.
M915-Series Tractor
Truck Seatbelt NSN
Need a seatbelt for your M915-series
tractor truck? Item 17 in Fig 255 of TM
9-2320-273-24P needs updating, so you
can’t get it using part number MVSS
209. Use NSN 2540-00-894-1273 instead
and pencil in this TM correction. By
the way, this same seatbelt is used on
M915A1 tractor trucks.
M872-Series Wheel Rim
Use NSN 2530-01-290-5715 to get the wheel
rim for the M872 family of semitrailers. This
NSN replaces the one shown as Item 16 in Fig
24 of TM 9-2330-359-14&P.
Uniforms and Flight
When the brass comes to inspect your unit, everybody wants to look their best. You can make
sure that happens by following the good words in AR 95-1,
Aviation Flight Regulations.
And
to make sure you look good in uniform, check out AR 670-1,
Wear and Appearance of Army
Uniforms and Insignia.

The TM for the AN/PEQ-15 advanced target
pointer illuminator aiming light (ATPIAL) has
been updated with new safety information
and revised weapon mounting procedures.

RAID Joystick Caution
The joystick used in your rapid aerostat initial
deployment (RAID) system is a vital part of
the system—but is extremely sensitive and
cannot be mishandled! A simple 3-ft drop to
a hard surface will likely render the joystick
and system inoperable. Use extreme care in
handling this item and refrain from handling
when the system is not in use. Additionally,
be very careful not to exert any unnecessary
pressure on the joystick moving in any one
direction, as this can also reduce its useful life.
3K ROWPU Suction
Pump Connector
Use NSN 4730-01-552-6975 to get
a suction pump connector for
the 3,000-GPH ROWPU. This NSN
replaces the one shown for Item
15 of Fig 129 in WP 130 of TM 10-
4610-232-24P.
M997 Ambulance
A/C Control Panel
Need the control panel for the A/C and heater control
box for your M997 HMMWV ambulance? You’ll have
to order the next higher assembly, NSN 2540-01-265-
3234, to get it. That’s the complete control box shown
as Item 1 in Fig 54. Make a note until TM 9-2320-280-
24P-1 is updated.
