The ASL AKO section also includes a brochure, FAQs, and other helpful information
about the review process.

strength of 35 pounds for the engine compartment of
your M1-series tank. NSN 5975-01-581-5719 brings a

Field Sanitation SOP
If you need to get crackin’ on your unit’s field sanitation
SOP, check out a template on milWiki that can save you
some serious time. Now you won’t have to reinvent the
wheel (or the latrine)!
Stryker Boresight
Kit Stem Fix
Some of the 12x boresight kits,
NSN 1240-01-545-5147, for the
Stryker’s
M2,
M240
and
MK
19 machine guns were fielded
with the wrong boresight stem.
The correct stem is 6.2 inches
(7.62mm) long and the wrong one
is 5 inches. If your kit contains
the wrong boresight stem, get a
retrofit kit with all the necessary
parts and installation instructions
by contacting TACOM-RI’s Richard
Harris at DSN 793-6481, (309) 782-
6481, or by email:
richard.j.harris@us.army.mil
If you are using the kit on another
system and the .30 cal boresight
stem is not long enough, you can
order an extension stem. Extension
stem, NSN 4933-00-930-8951 (PN
12960718), is part of the Bradley
boresight kit. NSN 4931-01-573-
4105 (PN 13023642), is part of the
CROWS II boresight kit. The wedge
slot on the CROWS II extension
is slightly wider and longer than
the slot on the Bradley extension.
Either will work with the Stryker’s
boresight device.

ChoCk BloCks for Ground
Support Equipment
If aircraft wheels need chock blocks, it stands to reason
that ground support equipment (GSE) needs chocks,
too. Order some rubber chock blocks with NSN 2540-
01-494-0078.
