ine item numbers (LINs) are needed for keeping tabs on equipment on a unit’s property
book. But with thousands of LINs, it’s no wonder that certain ones seem to create problems
for units across the Army. Some Z-LINs and non-standard LINs can also make it appear that
a unit has shortages. Problem LINs can cause incorrect unit status reports, which in turn
knock down a unit’s equipment readiness reporting ratings.
So, what can a savvy property book officer (PBO) or supply sergeant do to tackle these
trouble-making LINs? Follow our
PS
mini-series over the next five issues. We’ll give you
the HQDA G-8 straight scoop on how to fix certain LIN issues and help improve your unit’s
equipment readiness reporting ratings.
Below are some problem LINs and their nomenclatures.
Note:
Most solutions apply to nearly all Army units authorized equipment.
Nomenclature
LIN
M12418
M40 Field
Protective
Mask
Issue
Many units document some or
all M40 masks under joint mask
LIN Z00036. This results in
reported shortages. Z00036 has
been replaced by M12986. No
substitute relationship currently
exists in SB 700-20, Appendix H.
Life cycle management commands
or supply support operations
should input request in SLAMIS to
create a substitution relationship.
Solution
Commander directs
PBO to generate a
lateral transfer (DA
Form 3161) in PBUSE,
to sub-LIN Z00036
under LIN M12418.

Nomenclature

T14017
Tactical water
purification
system
(TWPS)
Issue
Many units were fielded TWPS
under Z97761 instead of the
standard LIN T14017. These units
will show shortages under T14017.
Z97761 was replaced by T14017.
Unit PBOs should have received
notification to correctly account
for this equipment under the
correct LIN.
Solution
Commander directs
PBO to generate a
lateral transfer (DA
Form 3161) in PBUSE,
to sub-LIN Z97761
under LIN T14017.
