t can be a challenge to make sure your unit has all the publications needed to
maintain its equipment.
If you’re wondering which pubs your unit needs, the Logistics Support Activity
(LOGSA) Equipment Oriented Publications Database (EOPDB) crew can help. With
their expertise, you can get customized listings of the pubs needed to support your
unit’s equipment.
A customized pubs list is especially helpful to units that are getting ready to deploy,
returning from deployment or changing command. A response will come to you by
return email within a few business days.
To get a Publication Tailored Index Listing (PTIL),
email your request to:
logsa.eopdb@conus.army.mil
Include the following information:
•± Your±unit’s±six-character±Unit±Identifier±Code±(UIC)
•± Your±unit’s±maintenance±levels±(10/20,±10/30,±etc.)
•± Your±name,±rank/grade,±military±address,±email±
address,±and±phone±number.
Note: In general, UIC codes don’t work for
detachments. So, detachments only should email an
Excel spreadsheet attachment that lists their MTOE/
TDA line item numbers (LINs) in a single column.
The±Unit±Publications±Tailored±Index±Listings±
The Unit Publications Tailored Index Listings (PTILs) you’ll get from EOPDB
include a list of pubs needed to support all authorized equipment listed in your unit’s
MTOE, plus a list of pubs to support equipment on hand (EOH). EOH includes
substitute items.
You’ll get PDF ±les broken out into three separate reports:
•±
PTIL by pub number—
Sorted±by±pub±number,±includes±all±pubs.
•±
PTIL by LIN—
Same±as±above,±but±sorted±by±LIN.
•±
±
PTIL rejected LINs report—
Any±LINs±included±in±your±authorized±equipment±that±do±
not±have±an±associated±Army±pub±(usually±because±no±pub±exists).
The title of the listings begin with your unit’s six-character UIC code, followed
by two numbers that indicate the maintenance levels covered by these reports (all
maintenance levels, up to and including the level listed).
The last three characters indicate the type of report, for example, PUB, LIN, or
REJ. These characters will be followed by a “.pdf” extension.
Also, the LOGSA EOPDB folks can tell you what your unit needs, but they can’t
order the pubs for you. Your unit’s pub clerk must order them through the Army
Publishing Directorate (APD).
You can ±nd pubs ordering instructions on the APD website:

Remember:
Unit PTILs are based upon the authorized equipment in your
unit’s current MTOE. However, the reports also include EOH, which are based
upon your unit’s property book. Any “On Hand but Not Authorized by MTOE”
equipment is identi±ed by an asterisk (*) on the left side of the page.
