Dear SSG P.S.
Sure, no problem! The fight deck/ground support helmets are used by all
branches oF service but the Army has only one approved color For ±ARP
operations. It’s brown. You can’t order a complete helmet From the supply system.
You must order the parts and assemble them piece by piece like it says in Chapter
2 oF ±M 10-67-1 (Apr 98),
Concepts and Equipment of Petroleum Operations.
M
echanics, the tail rotor gearbox on your Black Hawk is not the place to pick and
choose which hardware to use.
Set the conditions for success before installing the tail rotor gearbox cover by
inspecting the gearbox cover for missing or damaged seals. Also, double check for
missing or worn anti-chaFng tape. It is better to Fx it now rather than later. Test Ft the
tail rotor gear box cover and make sure the correct length turn-lock fasteners are where
you need them.
Some mechanics use
a longer fastener out
of
convenience.
But
longer
fasteners
can
cause the cover to chafe
against the gearbox.
Depending
on the
damage,
you
might
need
to
replace
the
tail rotor gearbox, its
gearbox cover, or both.
Remember, there are two types oF helmets. One is
the AGU-24/P, which comes with a headset and a
microphone and is typically used by the PAD chieF.
The PAD ChieF is in charge oF all operations at the
assigned pad, including weapons, Fuel, saFety
and ±OD operations when ammo is present. The
HGU-25/P has the hearing protector, also known as
the aural protector, and is worn by other personnel.
Here are the authorized parts For the Army ±ARP
helmet.
This should end your trek For the elusive ±ARP
helmet and its parts. And check out the ²eld manual
For inFo on all Army petroleum operations, too!
