B
etween November 2010 and May 2011, conventional Army units submitted more
than 850 requisitions for the Peltor® COMTAC III™ microphone headset. All the
requisitions were rejected.
The Army’s Rapid Equipping Force (REF) looked into the problem and here’s
what they found: The source of supply (SOS) code for the headsets was F56. That
SOS is maintained and used only by Special Operations Forces. That’s why requests
from outside of Special Forces were rejected.
REF succeeded in making the Peltor® headsets available to all Army units. Now
the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) manages the headsets. They carry an SOS code
of SMS.
A
rmy units can order Army heraldic items online from the U.S. Army TACOM Clothing
and Heraldry Product Support Integration Directorate (PSID). Here’s their website:
Requisitions for flags should include the complete unit name.
Requisitions for guidons should include company letter or HQ
designation.
The products are free issue for active Army and Army Reserve
units. National Guard units can pay with a government credit
card or provide a two-digit fund code for their heraldic items.
The Clothing and Heraldry PSID keeps all official drawings
created by the Institute of Heraldry. This information is used to
manufacture items and to find out if units are eligible for items.
