NOTES:

1. Removal of equipment such as generators, tool sets, steam cleaners, radar sets or search lights, etc.

often results in excess chassis remaining for which there are no separate requirements. Contact the

NICP for disposition before initiating any repair action. In some instances, a cargo body may be

added to a M116A2 and M103A3 chassis to create a M101A2 or M105A2 cargo trailer. There are

no authorizations for most chassis, and some may have been modified to a point that they are not

suitable for repair and distribution.

2. All M296, M271, and M271A1 trailers are over age and type classified for contingency and training

use only. As this equipment becomes excess, it is being removed from inventory.

3. In 1992, approximately 2500 M116A2 ton chassis were issued to the field to modernize a portion

of the M101 Series fleet. Any M101 Series ton trailer which is modernized with a chassis that

has a hydraulic brake actuator assembly and the CUCV wheel and tire configuration should be

designated as a M101A2 model and should be reported under NSN 2330-01-102-4697.

4. Very old trailers with model numbers that do not appear in the AMDF or FEDLOG may in fact be

retired and should not be repaired. Contact NICP for disposition.

5. ALL OTHER TRAILERS; LARGER THAN TON WHICH ARE LESS THAN 10 YEARS

OLD AND NOT SPECIFICALLY NOTED ABOVE OR ON CHART B-15, HAVE A MEL

OF 65%.
