Indicates
whether
unserviceable items should be returned for recovery or
salvage.
Items
not

are
expendable.
Recoverability codes are:
Code
Explanation
R
Repair parts (assemblies and components) which
are considered economically repairable at direct
and general support maintenance levels. When
the maintenance capability to repair these items
does not exist, they are normally disposed of at the
GS level. When supply considerations dictate,
some of these repair parts may be listed for
automatic return to supply for depot level repair as
set forth in AR 710-50. When so listed, they will be
replaced by supply on an exchange basis.
S
Repair
parts
and
assemblies
which
are
economically repairable at DSU and GSU activities
and which normally are furnished by supply on an
exchange basis. When items are determined by a
GSU to be uneconomically repairable, they will be
evacuated to a depot for evaluation and analysis
before final disposition.
T
High dollar value recoverable repair parts which
are subject to special handling and are issued on
an exchange basis. Such repair parts normally are
repaired or overhauled at depot maintenance
activities.
U
Repair parts specifically selected for salvage by
reclamation units because of precious metal
content, critical materials, or high dollar value
reusable casings and castings.
b. Federal Stock Number. Indicates the Federal
stock number assigned to the item and will be used for
requisitioning purposes.
c. Description. Indicates the Federal item name
and any additional description of the item required.
Assembly components and subassemblies are indented
under major assemblies. The abbreviation "w/e" when
used as part of the nomenclature, indicates the Federal
stock
number
includes
all
armament,
equipment,
accessories, and repair parts issued with the item. A
part number or other reference number is followed by the
applicable 5-digit Federal supply code for manufacturers
in parenthesis. Repair parts quantities included in kits
and sets are shown in front of the repair part name.
Material required for manufacturer or fabrication is
identified.
d. Unit of Measure (U/M). A 2 character
alphabetic abbreviation indicating the amount or quantity
of the item upon which the allowances are based, e.g., ft,
ea, pr, etc.
e. Quantity Incorporated in Unit. Indicates the
quantity of the item used in the assembly group.
A "V" appearing in this column in lieu of a quantity
indicates that a definite quantity cannot be indicated
(e.g., shims, spacers, etc.).
f. 15-Day Organizational Maintenance Allowance.
(1) The allowance columns are divided into four
subcolumns. Indicated in each subcolumn opposite the
first appearance of each item is the total quantity of the
items
authorized
for
the
number
of
equipments
supported. Subsequent appearances of the same item
will have the letters "REF" in the allowance column. To
locate the referenced item, locate the FSN or reference
number in the index. The earliest figure and item
number is the referenced item. Items authorized for use
as required but not for initial stockage are identified with
an asterisk in the allowance column.
(2) The quantitative allowance for organizational
level of maintenance represents one initial prescribed
load for a 15-day period for the number of equipments
supported. Units authorized additional prescribed loads,
multiply the number of prescribed loads by the quantity in
the appropriate density column to determine the number
of repair parts authorized.
(3) To determine allowances when supporting
more than 100 of these equipments: First, divide the
number of equipments supported by 100 by moving the
decimal two spaces left; second, multiply the result by
the quantity in the 51-100 density column. Example,
authorized allowance for 51-100 equipments is 12; for
140 equipments, multiply 12 by 1.40 or 16.80 rounded 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 the U. S. Army
Mobility Equipment Command for exception or revision
to the allowance list. Revisions to the range of items
authorized will be made by the U. S. Army Mobility
Equipment
Command
based
upon
engineering
experience, demand data, or TAERS information.
g. 30-Day DS Maintenance Allowances.
(1) The allowance columns are divided into three
subcolumns. Indicated in each subcolumn, 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 the letters "REF" in the applicable allowance
column. To locate the referenced item locate the FSN or
reference number in the index. The earliest figure and
item number is the referenced item. Items authorized for
use as required but not for initial
