Return CBPS Overpack Box
When the Chemical Biological Protective
Shelter (CBPS) system comes back from
RESET at Pine Bluff Arsenal, it’s being
sent with a special overpack box. The
box protects CBPS basic issue items
and other equipment during shipment.
The box is expensive and difficult to
get, which is why you need to send the
overpack box back to Pine Bluff. That
way it can be reused with other CBPS
systems. Directions for returning the box
come with the CBPS. Questions? Contact

5-, 10-, 15-kW TQG Contactors for Free
If you have a 5-, 10- or 15-kW tactical quiet generator (TQG), it may have a faulty K1 contactor,
NSN 6110-01-367-8921. If the contactor fails, there’s no power output to the load terminals.
Faulty contactors have a brown label with AMETEK printed on it. Look for the MFG DATE (date
of manufacture) on the label. The first number is the week, and the second number is the year.
Contactors with MFG DATEs from 40/10 through 13/11 have been identified as potentially
faulty. If you have a faulty K1 contactor, get a
replacement free of charge
