Dear Editor,
In PS 677 (Apr 09), there was an article about HMMWV spare tire carrier
parts. You gave us parts information for the spare tire carrier, but failed to tell
your readers that there is a publication which covers the spare tire carrier and
other HMMWV parts. It’s TB 9-2320-335-13&P.
We would’ve had problems finding parts for the M1151 had we not set
up our unit’s initial TM library. We did this for the first ever Agri-Business
Development Team (ADT), which deployed to Afghanistan in January 2008.
The maintenance field is so used to going to a TM that they have forgotten
the technical bulletins (TB). More and more information is included in TBs,
especially as newer vehicles are fielded.
TM library maintainers can get a fairly complete listing of the publications
they need for a vehicle by going to LOGSA’s Logistics Information Warehouse:
After gaining access, they’ll need to click on WebLIDB in the center
column. In the left side column is the WebLIDB Reporting menu.
- Under the Publications subsection, click on Publications Selections
- Scroll down the right-hand column to the Index of Published and
Scheduled AMC-Sponsored Equipment Publications.
There are several ways to search for publications, but we suggest
searching by NIIN.
Click on the NIIN (25-30-2) link. Wait for the link to come up and click
yes for the secure/non-secure question. Note that the next item has three
selections. Select Item Selection under the Tree and Unit Type.
Next, put the NIIN in the rectangle just to the left of the Add button.
Then click Add. If the NIIN is accepted and placed in the square to the left
of the Delete, Clear All, and File buttons, go to the upper right-hand side of
the screen.
Click on the running man.
The running man is the blue icon of a man running that’s found in
the upper right-hand corner. It seems like nothing is happening after
you click on the man, but a report is generating in the background.
Include TBs in TM Libraries!
