Army SustainmentSustainment Survivability in Large-Scale Combat Operations:
Lessons Learned in the Brigade Support Area Defense
By Maj. Matthew N. Mayor, Capt. Charles R. Bransom, and Capt. Karlos E. Febustraphagen | August 31, 2022

The PSDS is a tethered aerostat-based system, capable of staying aloft for weeks at a time and providing round-the-clock surveillance of broad areas. The Army began using PTDS in Afghanistan and Iraq in 2004. (Lockheed Martin)

#MaintenanceMonday

91P Self-Propelled Artillery Systems Maintainer students work on a M109A6 Howitzer power pack assembly.

91P Self-Propelled Artillery Systems Maintainer students work on a M109A6 Howitzer power pack assembly. Here students are connecting the engine and transmission, which enables the repair or return of a single component and cuts the cost of replacing the entire assembly.
With the guidance of the technical manual and the 91P Instructor, trainees work as a team to align the engine block back to the transmission housing.
