Get in touch with the unit you’re
replacing and see what tools you
need for the job. Take special
tools for whatever equipment
you will be working on…
…because the
toOls you need
might not be there
for you when your
boots hit the
ground.
So, you
got any
advice
for me?
yeah, you better be sure
and bring your special
tools for your humvee’s
geared hubs and steering.
You’re gonna need ‘em!
Train your mechanics
on MRAP maintenance
in advance.
Get them
familiar with whatever
models they will deal
with over there.
in fact, find out what
types of vehicles you’ll
fall in on period! Then
make sure your mechanics
know how to
fix
them—
and
how to
recover
them.

total team
effort.

started
before
we deployed to
afghanistan.

story…tell
you what.

run and meet in
the chow hall
later. I can
fill you in over
breakfast.
