to
what
you
may
believe,
controlled cryptographic items (CCI) RT-
1836(C)/APX-118(V), RT-1912(C)/APX-123(V),
KIV-16, and KIV-77 ARE NOT REQUIRED to
go through the COMSEC custodian account
for reporting or documentation.
Contrary to what you may believe, they
ARE NOT REQUIRED to be documented
in the communications security material
control system (CMCS).
Contrary to what you believe, they ARE
REQUIRED to be managed through normal
logistics and property book channels as
high dollar value items with all the security
requirements these items demand.
Controlled cryptographic items must be
tracked by serial number through the unit’s
location DODAAC and reported to the B16
(CECOM LCMC) item manager within 24
hours of a transaction.
It’s not speed that kills the CX-
11230 cable when you pay it out—
it’s the sudden stop. Like when you
get to the end of a
1
/
4
-mile reel before
you’re ready for it.
Save cables by going slow and
keeping an eye on the reel. Have a
signal with the driver so you can let
him know when the end is near.
Go slow when you reel the cable
in, too. Have someone hold the
connector off the ground, if you can.
Once a CX-11230 cable is disconnected, its connectors are at the mercy of dirt and
water that can make them useless—unless you use protective caps.
So put caps on all the connectors.
When you have two connectors
connected, put the two caps together,
too. That keeps dirt or mud out
of them.
If a cap, NSN 5999-00-136-9040
or NSN 5999-01-146-3414 for the
UG-1870A/G cable, is missing, get
your repairman to replace it.
