ome deployed units have reported a tough time getting PDISE (power distribution
illumination systems, electrical) boxes to power their equipment. Some also assumed
jury-rigged wiring was a valid workaround for that problem. Nope. That’s unsafe
and unnecessary!
Here’s the scoop: Because PDISE is a Class VII item, you can’t get it through
normal requisition channels. When your unit needs items like PDISE that are not on
your MTOE, an Operational Needs Statement (ONS) must be submitted through the
Equipment Common Operating Picture (ECOP) at HQDA.
Access to ECOP is only through SIPRNET, and an authorized .smil email address
is required to register.
G-8 has a detailed brochure that explains the ECOP and ONS processes:
AR 71-9,
Warfghting Capabilities Determination,
also covers ECOP/ONS policy
and guidance. Check it out:
PDISE components of end item (COEI) include pigtail cables (4-ft), service/feeder
cables (25- or 50-ft), extension cables (25- or 50-ft), duplex receptacle boxes, transit
containers, and cable-carrying straps. All of these components come with PDISE.
However, if you Fnd any COEI is damaged or missing, your unit can order
replacements because they are Class IX. You’ll Fnd a complete COEI list in the TM.
So, before you plug in and on, get the whole enchilada on PDISE by checking
out TM 9-6150-226-13,
Operator, Unit and Direct Support Maintenance Manual
For Distribution Illumination Systems, Electrical (DISE) and Power Distribution
Illumination Systems, Electrical (PDISE)
(Nov 08).

if your
unit needs
to order
pdise, here
are the
nsns/lins
you may
need when
preparing
your ons…
hey, I
have an
idea!
if I add this to
my amazon “wish
list”, maybe my
folks will buy it
for me and ship
it over to us!
now that’s what
I call
thinking
outside the box!
until then,
I guess we’ll
have to splice
the cables we
have and rig
something up!
wait!
there’s
a proper
and safe
solution.
your unit can
submit an ons
to get items
that aren’t on
your mtoe.
c’mon,
I’ll
walk you
through
it…
hey
look,
it’s
online
warrior!
