That’s Their Problem?
Not really. It’s yours!
The maintenance activity will fll out a supply discrepancy report (SDR) notiFying
the unit that the security key is missing.
IF your unit Fails to turn in the missing security key in a timely manner, the SDR
is Forwarded to the major command. IF the security key is not turned in, the unit or
someone has to pay.
Depending
on
the
circumstances, a fnancial
liability investigation oF
property loss (±LIPL) can
be initiated. The Soldier
who
signed
the
hand
receipt For the LDS can be
held responsible. Either
the unit or the Soldier
stands to pay $6,942 per
lost security key.
How to Protect Your Money?
Simple. When you turn in an SCM, regardless oF its condition, make sure you pack
the AVR-2B SCM and security key Following the instructions in WP 0001 4-7 oF TM
11-5865-1032-13&P.
This manual has restricted distribution, but it is available on the Logistics Support
Activity (LOGSA) ETM Online website. You’ll need to have completed a systems
access request (SAR) to view or download it. IF you have already completed a
LOGSA SAR, you can get the TM From the ETM website:
To complete a LOGSA SAR, go to the Logistics InFormation Warehouse (LIW)
website:
The Security Key Is Lost
IF the security key has been lost, and the SCM is being turned in, the unit must
complete a shortage annex (DA ±orm 2062). The annex will be turned in with the
remaining components. The annex should contain this statement, signed by the unit
commander or his designated representative: “Missing component or accessory has
been accounted For IAW AR 735-5.”
Essential Points
•
The security key is not classifed.
•

•
A modifcation is coming to add a lanyard
between the security key and the SCM to help
prevent loss oF the key.
•
The SCM and security key must be turned in
together For repair.

$6,942? IF you don’t, read on!
±ar too many AVR-2B laser detecting sets (LDS) are being turned in For depot
overhaul without the set’s security key.
When a feld—or sustainment—level maintenance technician tries to troubleshoot
the signal comparator module (SCM), they can’t turn the LDS on because the security
key is missing.
