Pack LIS Properly for Transport

LIS computers require
special
handling
during deployments.
they
don’t
go in Iso
containers. you’ll need them as
soon as you arrive in theater…
…sO take
them with
you.
We all know
that Army
terms
change,
and acronyms
seem to
multiply
to
keep pace.
What was once
collectively
known as
STAMIS
(SARSS,
SAMS-E and
PBUSE) is now
called LIS
(Logistics
Information
System)…
…but one
thing that
hasn’t
changed is
the level
of care you
need to
take when
deploying
your unit’s
LIS to SWA.
Some units have
made the
mistake
of
tucking their LIS
computers snugly
away in MILVANs or
ISO containers for
shipment.
During shipment
and while it
sits in theater
waiting to link
up with your
unit, the
inside
temperature
of
an ISO container
can easily exceed
a
blistering
158
°
F!
This is a
recipe for
potential
disaster.
hello? is
someone
there?
air…
need…
cOol…
air…
Those temperatures are
bad
for
your
health—but
fatal
for your
computer system.
Temperatures varying from
hot
to
cold
and back cause
expansion
and
contraction
of
the computer components.
howdy!
they caLl
me…
LIS!
