Ground Precautionary Messages (GPM) (cont)

Repairs. Repair requires one unit level mechanic 15-35 minutes (depending upon whether the 6-foot air hose also needs

replacement). Task calls for disconnecting fittings at the primary and secondary air tanks and reconnecting all hoses and

fittings in proper sequence. All parts needed are contained in the repair kit. No other hardware or special tools are required.

Complete fix instructions with illustrations are included with each kit. Instructions are also included in the AEPS website

supporting this GPM.

Reporting. Reports should consist of the vehicle serial numbers and registration numbers of trucks repaired and the UIC

of the unit affected. All trucks affected and work completed will be entered into RAILS for program oversight as well as for

reimbursement purposes. For Europe-based units, ABS retro-fix reports should be sent as follows:

(1) Corps and divisional units should forward their reports of fixes completed to their unit brigade and division MWO

coordinators. Reports should consist of the vehicle serial number and registration number of trucks repaired.

(2) Non-divisional units should forward their reports to their respective brigade MWO coordinators.

(3) Brigade MWO coordinators will consolidate their subordinate level reports and forward consolidated reports to their

respective division and corps MWO coordinators with a copy furnished to the USAREUR MWO coordinator as well

as to TACOM QA coordinator. The email address of the USAREUR MWO coordinator is

reginald.dionne@200mmc.21tsc.army.mil. The email address for the TACOM QA coordinator is

callahat@tacom.army.mil.

(4) Unit maintenance supervisors for all non-Europe units affected by this GPM due to mis-plumbing are directed to

report all affected vehicle serial and registration numbers of trucks repaired to Mr. Terry Callahan, TACOM QA, at

callahat@tacom.army.mil. Reporting work completed is for purpose of entering and tracking equipment affected and

fixes completed through RAILS.
