WHOEVER IT IS, I HOPE THEY CAN HELP US OUT WITH ALL THESE VEHICLE PROBLEMS. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] HEY, IT'S MASTER SERGEANT HALF-MAST! ALL RIGHT! HE'LL KNOW HOW TO GET THESE VEHICLES BACK ON THE ROAD! [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM HERE? WE'RE SURE GLAD TO SEE YOU! WE'VE GOT A BUNCH OF VEHICLE BREAKDOWNS.

SOUNDS LIKE WHAT YOU MEN NEED IS BDAR BDAR Battle Damage Assessment and Repair BDAR Battlefield Damage Assessment & Repair . [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] BDAR? WHAT'S THAT? [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] IT STANDS FOR BATTLE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT The timely and accurate estimate of damage resulting from the application of military force, either lethal or nonlethal, against a predetermined objective. Battle damage assessment can be applied to the employment of all types of weapon systems (air, ground, naval, and special forces AND REPAIR.

SGT BUCK IS HOLDING THE BDAR MAINTAINER KIT, NSN 5180-01-502-9507.

YOU'LL FIND JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU COULD NEED. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] THERE'S A TIRE PLUG KIT, HOSE CLAMPS A hose clamp or hose clip is a device used to attach and seal a hose onto a fitting such as a barb or nib. A hose clamp is not the same as a pipe clamp which is a clamp made partly out of a pipe, not a clamp for clamping pipe. , WIRE CONNECTORS, SEALING COMPOUND, AND DIFFERENT TYPES OF TAPE.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] HERE'S THE REST OF THE BDAR CREW KIT, NSN 5180-01-502-9504, ... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] THE MAINTAINER KIT IS IDENTICAL TO THE CREW KIT, EXCEPT FOR A FEW ADDITIONS, IT ALSO INCLUDES THESE ITEMS ... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] THIS LOOKS LIKE SOME GREAT STUFF, BUT CAN IT GET THESE VEHICLES BACK ON THE ROAD? YOU BET IT CAN. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT FLAT TIRE FIRST. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] THE TIRE PLUG KIT IS NOT ONLY SIMPLE TO USE, BUT IT'S FAST. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] THIS SPECIAL TAPE SEALS UP A LEAKY COOLANT coolant (kōō´l  nt),n HOSE IN MINUTES. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] THE KIT'S RUBBER POLYMER SEALS UP THIS CRACKED BATTERY IN ALMOST NO TIME. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] A FUEL LEAK LIKE THIS COULD START A FIRE IN YOUR M1A2 TANK. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] BUT A LITTLE OF THE METAL STICK FROM THE BDAR KIT ... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] ... AND SOME TAPE TAKES CARE OF THE LEAK. REMEMBER, ALL OF THESE BDAR REPAIRS MUST BE DOCUMENTED WITH A DD FORM 1577 AND ON A DA FORM 5988E AND TURNED INTO MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] AND THIS ADJUSTABLE V-BELT MAKES REPLACING A SNAPPED BELT A BREEZE. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] THAT'S REALLY IMPRESSIVE! [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] OTHER ITEMS IN THE KITS CAN REPAIR ELECTRICAL TROUBLES, LOW PRESSURE HYDRAULICS hydraulics, branch of engineering concerned mainly with moving liquids.

Of or relating to air or other gases. 2. PROBLEMS, WET FUEL CELL LEAKS AND MUCH MORE. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] HOW COME THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT KITS? MOST OF THE COMPONENTS ARE THE SAME. YES, THAT'S TRUE. THE CREW KIT IS DESIGNED FOR CREWMEN TO MAKE SIMPLE, QUICK FIXES. THE MAINTAINER KIT HAS A FEW EXTRA COMPONENTS THAT, ALONG WITH THE MECHANIC'S EXPERIENCE, ALLOW HIM TO MAKE MORE DIFFICULT REPAIRS. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] CAN WE ORDER THE KITS NOW OR ARE THEY ONLY AVAILABLE DURING DEPLOYMENT? [ILLUSTRATIONS OMITTED] NO, YOU CAN ORDER THEM ANYTIME. IF YOU WAIT UNTIL YOU DEPLOY, YOU WON'T HAVE TIME TO GET FAMILIAR WITH THE KITS. JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR COMMANDER'S PERMISSION BEFORE USING THE KITS DURING TRAINING. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] THAT SOUNDS GREAT, BUT HOW CAN WE GET TRAINED UP AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE BDAR KITS?
