These are the models that need to be checked for the references:
Dear Editor,
In my work as a CECOM LAR, I often see convoys of vehicles traveling
across rough ground with optics facing forward and unprotected. The
CROWS (common remotely operated weapon station) and LRAS3 (long range
advanced scout surveillance system) are good examples of what I’m talking
about.
Gravel kicked up by the vehicles can very easily crack the lenses on these
very, very expensive systems. Units can save themselves mountains of money
by either covering the optics for travel or turning them so they don’t face
forward. If you’re not in a combat environment, there is absolutely no reason
for these optics to be left exposed to whatever is kicked up off the road.

Editor’s note:
Protecting optics for travel should
be part of every unit’s SOP, Gregory. If sights are
missing their covers, order more. In the meantime,
use old tarps or something similar to protect optics.
