2. Parts for Maintenance
When this equipment is used by signal service organizations organic to the theater headquarters or
communication zones to provide theater communications, those repair parts authorized up to and including
fourth echelon are authorized for stockage by the organization operating this equipment.
3. Requisitioning Information
a.
The allowance factors are based on 100 equipments. In order to determine the number of parts
authorized for initial stockage for the specific number of equipments supported, the following formula will be
used and carried out to two decimal places:
Specific Number of equipments supported
allowance factor
X
100
= Number of parts
authorized for initial stockage.
b.
Fractional values obtained from above computation will be rounded to whole numbers as follows:
(1) When the total number of parts authorized is less than 0.50, the quantity authorized will be
zero.
(2) When the total number of parts authorized is between 0.50 and 1.0, the quantity authorized will
be one.
(3) For all values above one, fractional values below 0.5 will revert to lower whole number and
fractional value 0.5 and above will advance to the next higher whole number.
(4) When the allowance factor listed in the third echelon column is in parentheses ( ), a quantity
of one is authorized for initial stockage even though the computed quantity is less than 0.5.
c.
The quantities determined in accordance with the above computation represent the initial stockage
for a 15-day period.
4. Additional Repair Parts
Additional repair parts which may be required for performing organizational maintenance, but are not
authorized for stockage in the prescribed load, are identified by an asterisk (") and are to be requisitioned as
required, for immediate use only. Refer to AR 700-18.
5. Stockage
