rewmen, the Paladin is one tough customer. But using the external stowage baskets
when they’re in the wrong position can put your Paladin out of sorts in a hurry.
Some Soldiers are loading gear in the external stowage baskets while they’re in the
transport position. The stowage baskets can’t bear
any
weight while in that position.
Only use the transport
position for exactly
that—transport! That’s
to make your Paladin
narrow enough to ship
on railcars, trucks and
ships. Otherwise, make
sure the stowage basket
is in the operational
position. A change has
been submitted to clarify
this issue in TM 9-2350-
314-10.
C
rewmen,
tired
of
having
to
make your own target board for
boresighting your M777A2 towed
howitzer? Well, TACOM has heard
you loud and clear. You can now get
a target board through the supply
system with NSN 6920-01-616-6852.
The new target boards make it a
lot easier to adjust and confirm the
boresights on your M777A2s. That
gives you more time for firing!

Put external stowage baskets in
operation position
before
firing
you can
stop
making those
boresightng
target boards
from scratch!
the problem is you guys are
driving me with my external
storage baskets in the
wrong
position and now they’re
damaged!
So
never
drive or
fire your Paladin’s gun
or load and use the
baskets while they’re in
the transport position.
if you do, you’ll
cause some
serious damage
to
the baskets and
their hinges.
why’d you
stop?! what’s
the
problem?
now you
can
order
ready-made
ones from
tacom!
