Dear Editor,
I need your help in getting the
word out about the supply of
AS-3711 antenna assemblies,
used with the ALQ-136(V)5
countermeasures set (CMS).
The word is, the supply is low
and won’t be replenished until
the Spring of 2011.
In the meantime, it is essential
that serviceable antenna assemblies
not being used and unserviceable
antenna assemblies that are
warehoused be turned in.
Send these valuable antennas to:
Commander DDDTP
W25G1W
11 Hap Arnold Blvd.
Bldg. 2, Bay 1
Condition Code______
Tobyhanna, PA 18466-5027
Include the condition code that
you have assigned it. Your unit
will get a serviceable credit or an
unserviceable credit in exchange.

I
f you haven’t turned in your old AN/
ASM-146A, B or C shelter-mounted
electronics maintenance shop for the
major MWO that upgrades it to a D, E, or
F model, what are you waiting for?
A good excuse?
If so, now you’ve got one!
The 15-ft pigtail power stub cable,
NSN 5955-01-149-6875, Item 97 of Fig 1
of TM 11-4940-238-24P-1, used with the
old shelter models has a connector that
is not watertight. Under wet conditions,
that cable can shock you and damage
the shelter. For more info on this hazard,
go to your CECOM LAR and ask for a
copy of Technical Ground Precautionary
Action Message 2010-004.
Editor’s note:
Okay, troops, it’s time to soldier up and get those antennas turned
in for repair and reissue. You might not be hurting, but down-the-road, without
your help, a future member of your unit could be. If you have questions, contact
Mr. Della Vecchia by calling DSN 992-7850 or (732) 532-7850 or email him:
joseph.dellavecchia@us.army.mil
Or, contact Gerald Conrad at DSN 795-6644
or (570) 615-6644. His email address is:
gerald.allen.conrad@us.army.mil
Better, yet, why not take the oppor-
tunity this faulty cable has given you and
turn in your shelter to the Reset program
at Tobyhanna Army Depot. Tobyhanna
will do the Reset and apply the MWO
for free! Think of it like turning in a
Pinto and getting a Mustang and not
paying one red cent!
Learn more about the Reset program
and the MWO by contacting Kenneth
Shedlock at DSN 992-5549 or (732)
532-5549. You can also email him:
kenneth.shedlock@us.army.mil
Or, contact Steve Rowe at DSN 992-
