Replacement Parts
Units that order combat eyewear,
listen up. If spectacles or goggles get
chipped, scratched or broken, don’t order
a complete eyewear system. Instead,
order
replacement lenses and frames
at
a fraction of the cost. They’re available
through the Army supply system. Unit
supply
personnel
should
determine
whether a complete eyewear system is
needed or if a replacement part will do.
You’ll find currently available parts on
the PS Hot Topics web page:
