To find your initial allowance for an item listed in Chap 3, you need your

~t~~~~~~~~~~~~~=~~~~~~~~~~~~i~;:::;~! Chap 2 lists only the FSC's. But, if you have a good FSN - If it's included in your support'S AMDF (Army Master Data File) - and the item is not authorized in the SB's Chap 3, you can use Chap 2 to order the item "as required". Just check the note-code alongside the FSC covering your FSN, and follow through like ~t sa>:s i.n t~e f?Dtnotes.

And, your authorized allowance for an item in Chap 2 is whatever quantity is required by your unit when the demand occurs. In Chap 3 you'Ufind separate sections for each commodity command (that's the Army commands responsible for supplying the different FSC's). Each section lists the supplies alphabetically, and the section's column headings square off like this: Item's Nomenclacure, FSN, Unit of Issue, Quantity authorized in PT (Peacetime) and Mob (Mobilization), and Application (usage

SB's Quantity column Applicaoutfit's head-count andand the its info in the tion column. You just mulciply your head-count by the info in the Quantity column. When you're backed-up by usage records or expected demand info for an item, you can increase your stockage allowance up to 10 percent above the initial allowance listed for an item in theSB. Like with other expendable supplies, you use AR 735-35 SOP for requesting, maintaining, and using supplies OK'd by the SB. The SB gets updated each year, and changes are published as needed. So, for the latest dope on the SB keep an eye on DA Pam 310-4. Better yet, get SB 700-50 and its changes by

Some items are OK'd for specific outfits only. That info's in the "Application" column. So, always check there before you make up your request.

Dear Specialist]. P. J., If the MAC in the equipment's TM say's you can replace the part, all you have to do is list the maintenance manual, along with the parts manual, in Block 0 of your OA Form 2765, like it says in para 4-1, AR 735-35 (Nov 70).

True, sometimes, the trouble may be parts manual The part an FSN, it's on the shelf and available through normal supply channels, but you won't get the word on it umil your parts manual is up-dated.

If a pare's not On the shelf, your OS can still help you through their other backup supply sources-the can point, local purchase or local manufacturer, or by borrowing from neighboring OS units, etc. The big thing you have to do is give your OS as much info as you can on the needed part-the part's description, manufacturer's pare number, where the part fits, what it does, the publication (if any) listing the part, the major end item it's for, etc. You can put the info on the back of your OA Form 2765 request, or on a separate piece of paper and attach it to the 2765. Some OS units even provide a local form for listing the exception data On such requests. So check with your OS. It's their job to help you with your maintenance supply problems. That's why they foHow you around in the field. A lotta guys write to PS looking for FSN's for pares that're not listed in the parts manuals, or anywhere else. Sometimes it turns Out there's an FSN assigned that's not been broadcast in any way. More often than not, the item has not been given an FSN for one reason or another.

The big is, FSN's are best way of identifying an item-but not the only way_ The supply system does not come to a screeching halt just because there's no handy FSN. Any unusual amount of time you spend searching for an FSN noc listed in your pubs will just slow down your supply action. Give your support what info you can, and they'll provide the pares-if they can be had.

CONSTRAINT OF SUPPLY REPORT

Are your demands for repair parts stacking up for some reason or other, like: 1 You re told your command r~ out of money 2 Support (or higher supply) has pul a hold on all requests except those whICh rote top priOrity IPD s 3 Your shop doem t hove (] Pll man, and no one else {on be spared to bird dog the supply poper work, or 10 pick up supplies to store mOintom, and Issue the Pll slocks 4 Or, may be your outfit doem t hove a safe place to store the Items you need

Well, what have you done about this situation? How about a constraint of supply report, as called out in para 2·9, AR 735-3S? The AR calls for a constraint of supply repoct when your outfit has any problem that keeps it from submitting routine requests for supplies. And, the report is due 2 work days after a problem shows up. The report (from your CO) goes to your next higher headquarters. Then it's up to headquarters to rustle up help to break the bottleneck. The AR tells you the action you can look for. The report is due on No-Go requests for repair parts and other supplies. SUBJECT:
