Handling PPE Change
The safety goggles, NSN 4240-00-269-7912,
that are listed as Item 10 in WP 0034-2 of
TM 9-6140-200-13 have been replaced with
NSN 4240-01-460-1841. These replacement
personal
protective
equipment
(PPE)
goggles fit over most prescription glasses
so you can see and stay safe while pulling
maintenance. Make this change to the PPE
listed in your unit’s battery TMs.
Barber Kit NSN
What do you do if you need a haircut but
you’re stationed in a remote area far from
a barber shop? You and your buddies will
have to do your own barbering. So, get a
barber kit, NSN 3590-00-058-1837. The kit
includes manual and electric hair clippers,
barber cloths, shaving cream, disposable
safety razors, a disinfecting tray and other
items to keep you well groomed.
STRETCHY
STRAPS FOR TRUCK
TIRE CHAINS
Even after tightening your vehicle’s tire
chains by hand to avoid gouging, they still
might be a little too loose. Correct that
by snugging down the tire chains with a
stretchy strap. Choose what you need from
these options:
Fire Extinguisher for
5kW Generator
The 5-kW generator’s 5-lb fire extinguisher
is listed as NSN 4210-
00
-361-6921 in the
Additional Authorization List (AAL) of TM
9-6115-659-13&P (Jan 10). That’s
wrong.
The
correct NSN is 4210-
01
-361-6921. Make a note
until the TM is updated.
M93 GPFU Configuration Changes
The M93 gas particulate filter unit (GPFU) has been modified. The M48A1 filter, NSN 4240-01-
363-1311, is no longer part of the M93 and now must be ordered separately. The new M93 GPFU
NSN without the M48A1 filter is NSN 4240-01-615-1867. By removing the M48A1, the M93’s shelf
life is extended.
M1200 Armored Knight VVID
For a look at the M1200 Armored Knight’s vehicle version identification document (VVID), go
to:
The VVID is a white paper that lists requirements for the M1200’s equipment configuration.
It serves as a hardware/software management tool that tracks upgrades, updates, problems
and solutions for the Armored Knight and its line-replaceable units. You’ll need an AKO
account to view or download the VVID. Questions? Contact TACOM’s Dave Merglewski at DSN

M7 FRS Air Filter NSNs
Need a new air filter for the Cummins engine
in your M7 forward repair system (FRS)? The
filter for the Tier II engine (no turbocharger)
comes with NSN 2940-01-619-2451. The filter
for the Tier III engine (with turbocharger)
is NSN 4130-01-559-5331. They replace NSN
2940-01-470-9846, shown as Item 12 in Fig 35
of TM 9-4940-568-24P (Feb 08), which brings
the wrong air filter.
HUSKY Power Steering Filter
Get a new power steering filter for your
MK III VMMD HUSKY with NSN 4330-
01-605-4309. Make a note until the NSN
is added as Item 19 in Fig 105 of TM
9-2355-316-23P.
M10A Forklift Brake
Assembly
Get a new brake assembly for the M10A forklift
with NSN 2530-01-195-0416. This NSN replaces
PN 419-259, which is shown as Item 1 in Fig 115
of TM 10-3930-643-24P (Jul 93).
Cryptographic Equipment Website
Need information on cryptographic devices? Go to the U.S. Army Cryptographic Modernization
Device Portfolio website:
The website hosts announcements, device wikis, downloads and solutions, training, a
document library, FAQs/lessons learned and user forums. This is the only website where Army
users can download cryptographic device software updates. A CAC card is required.
Attention PBOs:
Watch Unit Transfers
As brigade combat teams begin reorganizing,
the following information is important for
property book officers (PBOs) to remember.
To do a proper unit transfer in PBUSE, you
must be sure that all DODAACs/transactions
are sterilized and/or closed. Hung up due-
ins (due-ins that have no status at a supply
support activity [SSA], but still show status in
PBUSE) and open items in suspense files are
major reasons why unit transfers fail. If you
are not running transactions on blast with the
SSA to update your box, then it will result in
multiple versions of files. To ensure a clean unit
transfer, follow the instructions in Section 7 of
the PBUSE End User Manual:
