Battlefield Damage

[SixBuy]

Hey guys , if I'm the last to discover this just say so and I'll shut up!
I picked up a really neat TM in an Army store the other day. TM9-2320-356-BD "Battlefield Damage Assessment and Repair for Tactical Wheeled Vehicles". It's the bailing-wire-and-chewing-gum manual - officially!
Also, it's got engine and wheel interchangability guides - what fits what stuff.
And a list of countries that purchased various vehicles. For Example there were 29 that bought M35s! Interesting Stuff. Don't know if it is on the DOD website or not. Just thought I'd pass it along now that we're back on the air.

Another cool one is FM 9-43-2 which is Recovery and Battlefield Damage Assessment and Repair. It covers BDAR as well as the recovery info from FM 20-22. The 356BD should be on Logsa but I'm not sure about FM 9-43-2

Guys, any chance you could scan (or get from logsa) the TM's we speak of here? and add them to our Resource section??

 

[SixBuy]

Well as usual Kenny was right! The 356-BD was on LOGSA and I've got a copy of the PDF file. Anybody got a clue as to how to get it into the resources?

No sign of the FM.

 

[SixBuy]

Hmmm... Blind Hog finds an acorn every now and then! I think I just got the TM loaded to Resources!

 

[mangus580]

Thanks SixBuy!!! Pretty easy once you tried? Should I write up an FAQ? or was it pretty self explanatory?

 

[Recovry4x4]

Just so happens I've got the FM so I'll send it when I get back from dropping of the kid at school.

There are specific BDAR manuals for trucks, tanks, trailers, and radios. All the manuals end in -BD. There are also BDAR kits that are chock full of bailing wire and other such "fix it items". The problem was that some Army mechanics thought that BDAR fixes were acceptable as permanet fixes. I'll see if I can find my stuff from the BDAR classes I took and post the TM #'s here.

LOGSA doesnt have the FM's on it, just TM's. The other Army library websites have all the FM's.

Looks like we may be on to something here. Are any of those "other Army Websites" accessable? It would be nice to also see the "TSBs" that get circulated. I think Kenny's FM will probably supercede the BDAR I posted so if it's the same plus some let's delete mine.

i've been searching the web for FM 9-43-2 and no joy. URL's lead to limited access sites which I can't access. despite the fact that I was regular army, army reserve and Air Force Nat'l guard... not all at once, mind you. anybody got a copy of FM 9-43-2.

I've got FM 9-43-2 at work, all 5.9 MB of it. Clear your EM and PM it to me and I'll e-mail it to your tomorrow. Elwinel's (sp) already got as do a few others, check the 5 ton forum for the thread.

Albin, any chance you could just upload it to the TM section?

Hey Mike,
Email or PM me with some pointers and I'll start loading into the tech library. I've got over 800Mb of TMs. on everything from CUCVs to HEMTTs, several trailers and weaps if you think they're applicable.

Done, awaiting approval.

Any other FM's you need?

[mangus580]

Albin, we dont 'need' anything... we have space.... everyone has something to share

approved.... and if you have others, that the group might like, go ahead and toss them up! Only major concern that I have been watching for is to make sure they are all public release

Military References URLs

Here are a couple URLs for those of you that don't have them to get Army pubs. The files that are restricted need a username and password. You'll know those when you click on them, you'll get a prompt asking for them. Unless you have access (in which case, you already know how to do this) you won't be able to get those. The rest are public access.

Mike, could you click links under the resource section to the left, and ad them there as well?

thanks

Links submitted

I submitted the three links under the Resources/Links/Parts and Service classsification. Awaiting approval, I reckon. Don't know how long it will take.

All set.... thanks!
