JCIMS is composed of combat identiFcation panels (CIPs), thermal
identiFcation panels (TIPs), and Phoenix infrared beacons. All three
items have been around for quite a while. But if you need to refresh
your memory, check out the following PS articles:
CIPs, Pages 2-5 of PS 646 (Sep 06):
TIPs, Pages 6-7 of PS 594 (May 02):
Phoenix beacons, Pages 46-47 of PS 589 (Dec 01):
Integrating JCIMS into unit training plans and SOPs is an effective
way to reduce the risk of friendly Fre casualties. As the items continue
to be Felded, Active and Reserve BCTs will be contacted by the
Product Director, Target IdentiFcation and Meteorological Sensors
(PD TIMS) to schedule new material information brieFngs and
new equipment training. ±ielding priority has been established by
HQDA G3.

CIP kits are now CTA 50-909 items as listed in SB 700-20. As accountable
items documented in the unit’s TOE, CIP kits
must
be removed from any vehicle
being returned to depot for RESET, rebuild or disposal.
Keep the CIPs, TIPs and Phoenix beacons to reuse on the replacement
vehicle you receive. This will protect you on the battleFeld and ensure property
accountability is maintained.
