the Federal’ stock number and/or reference
number is known.
b. Federal Stock Number. Indicates the Fed-
eral stock number for the item.
c. Description. Indicates the Federal item
name and any additional description of the item
required. A part number or other reference
number is followed by the applicable five-digit
Federal supply code for manufacturers in

g. Fifteen-Day Organizational Maintenance
Allowances.
D-2
(1) The allowance columns are divided in-
to four subcolumns. Indicated in each subcol-
umn opposite the first appearance of each item
is the total quantity of items authorized for the
number of equipments supported. Subsequent
appearances of the same item will have no entry
in the allowance columns but will have in the
description column a reference to the first ap-
pearance of the item. Items authorized for use
as required but not for initial stockage are i-
dentified with an asterisk in the allowance col-
umn.
(2) The quantitative allowances for or-
ganizational level of maintenance represents one
initial prescribed load for a 15-day period for
the number of equipments supported. Units and
organizations authorized additional prescribed
loads will multiply the number of prescribed
loads authorized by the quantity repair parts
reflected in the appropriate density column to
obtain the total quantity of repair parts
authorized.
(3) Organizational units providing main-
tenance for more than 100 of these equipments
shall determine the total quantity of parts re-
quired by converting the equipment quantity to
a decimal factor by placing a decimal point be-
fore the next to last digit of the number to indi-
cate hundredths, and multiplying the decimal
factor by the parts quantity authorized in the
51-100 allowance column. Example, authorized
allowance for 51-100 equipments is 12; for 140
equipments multiply 12 by 1.40 or 16.80 round-
ed off to 17 parts required.
(4) Subsequent changes to allowances will
be limited as follows: No change in the range
of items is authorized. If additional items are
considered necessary, recommendation should
be forwarded to U.S. Army Mobility Equipment
Command for exception or revision to the allow-
ance list. Revisions to the range of items au-
thorized will be made by this Command based
upon engineering experience, demand data, or
TAERS information.
