Dear Half-Mast,
My unit is redeploying from Iraq and I’ve heard there is a Reset option
available for SINCGARS and night vision devices called CEER-T that does
not charge active units for repairs. Is that true? If so, what is it and how
do we contact the folks running it to get their help?
Mr. D.O.L.
Dear Mr. D.O.L.,
CEER-T stands for communications-electronics evaluation repair team and it’s
a program run by CECOM Life Cycle Management Command and Tobyhanna
Army Depot. The program is intended to support the installation Directorate
of Logistics (DOL) in bringing SINCGARS radios and night vision devices up to
-10/20 standards.
To do this, a CEER team will travel to where the support is needed and will set up
repair facilities in cooperation with the DOL.
To repair SINCGARS, a team will come from CECOM. They’ll repair the
RT-1523A through F radios; the AM-7239A through E amplifer-adapters; and the
AM-7238/A and B RF power amplifers.
For night vision devices, a team will come from Tobyhanna. They’ll repair the
AN/PVS-4 and 4A; the AN/PVS-7A through 7D; the AN/PVS-14; the AN/TVS-5 and
5A; and the AN/PVS-5.
If your unit has questions about CEER-T Reset or would like to request a CEER-T
mission, contact Christopher Tracy, DSN 867-0358 or (410) 417-
0358 or email:
christopher.tracy1@us.army.mil
Dear Editor,
I am the system engineer for the long-range scout surveillance system
(LRAS3) AN/TAS-8(V)1, (V)2 & (V)3. I need to get the word out to units
using LRAS3 systems that there may be a problem with the biocular display
module, NSN 7025-01-486-5024, having a cloudy view. This cloudiness
comes from water droplets forming inside the display when there’s been a
large temperature swing. It’s like a pair of glasses fogging up after leaving
the cold outdoors and entering a warm home.
The problem may clear up on its own. Or, it may get worse!
Get your maintainer to replace the module following the procedure in TM
11-5855-321-30&P to ensure there are no problems with your LRAS3
when you need it.
Scott Winter
LRAS3 System Engineer

Editor’s note:
Thanks, Mr. Winter, for this
important heads up. Maintainers, remember
to replace the desiccant, NSN 6850-01-462-
8502, and purge the nitrogen like you must
always do when you unseal the housing to
replace the biocular display module.
