echanics, if you need to do any composite material maintenance, we’ve got good news!
TM 1-1500-204-23-11,
Advanced Composite Material General Maintenance and Practices,
Vol 11,
is now fully authenticated and available on the LOGSA ETM website through LIW:
If you’re still using the verified draft of the TM that can be found under the Composites
tab at the Joint Technical Data Integration (JTDI) or the Consolidated Aviation Portal
and Storage (CAPS) websites, stop! Now that the TM is DA-authenticated, only the
authenticated version is OK to use.
As always, make sure you use a clean bore brush when cleaning the rocket tubes.
Don’t use one coated with dirt and carbon. A dirty brush just spreads that stuff around
inside the tube. If your brush is dirty, clean it with soap and water and allow it to dry
completely before using it again. That way you don’t introduce moisture into the tubes.
Another maintenance tip is to leave the igniter arm up for Fights when no
rockets are loaded. Doing this protects the contacts from the environment.
All Aircraft…
Use the DA-Authenticated TM
HmM… I wonder if
this verified draft
TM on thE JTDI web-
site is OK to use?
the DA-Authenticated
TM 1-1500-204-23-11
is on the LOGSA ETM
website now.
Hold
up!
don’t
use the
verified
draft.
Clean tubes with clean bore brush
C
astles were
the
storage
depots
of the
Middle Ages.
Likewise,
those hardy
folks holding
down the forts,
so to speak,
needed to
maintain stocks
by keeping their
own supply
lines open.
T
he outcome of a siege
was often decided by
whose logistics system
failed
first.
This is the mostly true
tale of how one such
logistics chess match
finally
ended after seven
long years in cold, damp,
rainy Wales.
..
1468 AD.
Camped outside the
impregnable
Castle
Harlech
in Wales, the
commander of the
Yorkist forces, Lord
William Herbert, is
chilling with Walter
Devereux, the
7
th
Baron of Ferrers.
And by ‘chilling,’ we
mean that
literally.

Since warfare
included
castle sieges
that lasted
months or
even years,
besieging
forces needed
long supply
trains.
