Needs calibration? Enroll it at your
local TMDE shop.
Any time your unit
receives an item that will require regular
TMDE calibration or gaging, immediately
take it to your local TMDE shop to be
entered into its data base. These would
include small arms gages, multimeters,
torque wrenches, and radiac equipment.
TMDE will keep track of when these
items are to be checked and let you know
when the deadline nears.
That’s one less
thing to worry about. See TB 43-180 for
what requires calibration. TMDE data is
available at LOGSA’s LIW site:
Just select the TMDE icon.

For the
M2 machine gun gages,
remember that when they come back from TMDE
they will have new serial numbers. Armorers need to write down the new serial
number on a tag and attach it to the gage. That avoids confusion during inspections.
